Holme Mills Cottages, Holme, Carnforth, Cumbria, LA6

OVERVIEW

Having an open allotment to the front and two mill ponds close-by, this pretty three storey end terrace cottage has a wonderful countryside feel and is full of charm and character. Being to the end of the terrace, the property is slightly larger than others within the row and benefits from an outhouse at the rear. Well laid out, the property offers a lounge diner with open fire, a kitchen to the rear, a first floor bathroom and three double bedrooms over the first and second floors. Views from the property across to a well tended allotment field to the front through to a pretty mill pond at the side - a further mill pond is to the rear. The useful outhouse provides storage and there is a WC and sink. Owned by the same family for 40 years, the property does require some updating, however the property has been maintained (including a new roof in 2020) and well cared for and offers excellent scope to personalise.
