Quernmore, Lancaster, Lancashire

A HOME and BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!

We absolutely love this prospect ! With a combined 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, this detached home comes with an additional HOLIDAY COTTAGE adjacent. A property with so much POTENTIAL, set in 0.85 acres / 0.34ha (or thereabouts) in a stunning landscape.Occupying a lovely semi-rural Quernmore position in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the main house offers generous living and includes four bedrooms and three receptions rooms, large garage and workshop area.

The house has plenty of off road parking and superb extensive gardens. Adjacent to the main house is a very spacious and well-presented holiday let. This holiday home offers three bedrooms and a large split level living kitchen along with attractive and spacious gardens to the rear. The holiday let was built for the current vendors and generated a super income stream for them, though they feel that the next owners have potential to do more with the property.

This property really is a lifestyle choice, positioned in the village of Quernmore, just a short drive from the lovely City of Lancaster close to the main road and motorway networks, yet so rural in feel. The property is in a great location for those who wish to enjoy the benefit of the Bowland Fells, Vale of Lune and even a nice drive out to the coast.

The drive to the main house leads through to a large parking area and the front door opens in to the sun room/spacious porch at the side of the property, quite an impressive entrance with vaulted ceilings and a step rising into a further impressive double height entrance hall. This room has windows to the front of the property and a staircase which rises to a gallery/split landing. A large shower room can also be found off the hallway with a WC, separate shower and hand wash basin.

The lounge is a lovely room and has patio doors to the front of the property. There is space for a gas fire with a stone surround, giving a cosy focal point to the room. The dining room has a window to both the front and side of the property and the study enjoys views out to the rear gardens. The kitchen has windows to the side and a door out to the rear. There is a range of wall and base mounted kitchen units with a gas hob with extractor over, point for a fridge and freezer along with a double oven. A part glazed door leads out to a decked area, which will be a lovely position to dine alfresco.

Also to the ground floor is a garage which houses the oil fired boiler. The garage has manual doors and a large office room off which enjoys views out over the gardens. This room provides a great deal of flexibility and could have a range of uses to suit the buyer.

A staircase rises up to the first floor where there is a generous bedroom, kitchenette and a further lounge. This lounge on the first floor has windows to three elevations along with a wood burning stove set in a stone surround.

There are three further bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over, WC, wash handbasin and further storage. There are two storage cupboards off the spacious landing.
