Oak Cottage, Wray, LA2 8QG

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Oak Cottage:

1. Considerable potential - a well-loved home for over 55 years, the opportunity arises for new custodians to refurbish this delightful mid-18th century terraced cottage to suit their own needs.

2. Grade II Listed charm with wonderful character features including panelled working shutters and reveals, window seats, mullion windows, (the sitting room window has decorative spindles), an attractive marble fireplace with decorative slips in the drawing room, wood fireplace with flagged hearth in the sitting room, wall panelling, a period fireplace in bedroom 1 along with four panelled doors and tongue and bead doors with Suffolk latches.

3. Embrace the space - with an internal area of 2070 sq ft (192.3 sq m) including the cellar and attic room. There are three reception rooms, a galley kitchen with double doors opening to a garden room, an inner hall with access to the cellar, a laundry room and a three piece shower room. In the dining room, what looks like a cupboard door opens to a concealed staircase leading up to bedroom 3, however access has been blocked but the balustrade is still evident.

4. Sweet dreams - off the landing there are three generous double bedrooms. There is also a four piece house bathroom.

5. Attic room - an enclosed staircase leads to an attic room with Velux window, power and light - perfect for conversion to additional living/bedroom space (subject to consent).

6. Large cottage gardens, c. 0.15 acres (0.06 hectares) to the rear. Currently a little overgrown, but those of you with green fingers will relish the space and potential of creating a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

7 Parking - there is on street parking to the front. There is also a dilapidated timber garage in the garden with a right of way through gated access across the neighbouring property, Walnut Cottage.

8. An attractive and popular village where the River Roeburn joins the River Hindburn. The village has a newsagent/general store, a primary school, a tearoom and gift shop (with an outreach weekly Post Office), garden centre (Greenfoot), a public house (The George & Dragon), village hall and two churches. Also worth a mention as a date for your diary is the annual Scarecrow Festival, which Wray proudly hosts in May. Close to home, the nearby villages of Hornby and Caton have shops and services with a greater range in the Cumbrian market town of Kirkby Lonsdale to the north and the Georgian city of Lancaster to the south.

9. Surrounded by stunning countryside - situated within the Forest of Bowland AONB (an Area of Outstanding National Beauty) and the Lune Valley, close to the national parks of the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District - the perfect natural playground for walkers, climbers, cavers, potholers, cyclists and sailors.

10. Further afield - accessible for the M6 motorway and A65 with Lancaster having a station on the West Coast railway line. You'll also find the small station at Wennington, on the connecting branch line, exceptionally convenient. Airports can be found at Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Liverpool.
