Chapel Lane, Ellel, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA2

This spacious and versatile family home offers more than just generous accommodation—it opens into a truly exceptional garden that is the heart and soul of the property.

For those who find joy in gardening or simply long for a peaceful, green retreat, this is a rare opportunity. The expansive outdoor space has been lovingly cultivated and thoughtfully arranged into distinct areas, each offering its own atmosphere and function. From the full vegetable plot ready for seasonal growing, to the tranquil pond with a soothing water feature, the garden invites both productivity and relaxation.

A well-kept lawn is framed by colourful perennial flower beds, while a stone-flagged patio provides the perfect sun trap for summer lounging or al fresco dining. For those with hobbies or home projects, a substantial timber outbuilding—with power and light—offers endless potential as a workshop, studio or garden room. There is also a separate shed and a greenhouse, ideal for propagating plants or extending your growing season.

The plot offers ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, including space for caravans or work vans, all set against open views of surrounding fields. This sense of space and calm gives the garden a semi-rural feel, despite being so close to local amenities, excellent transport links, and a thriving community.

If your dream is a large family home with a garden that’s more than just a backdrop—one that’s a sanctuary, a workspace, a haven for wildlife, and a source of daily pleasure—then this is a must-see.

Internally the large family home officially it has four bedrooms (although the rooms are set up so that the current owners use a “through room” as an additional fifth bedroom). There is a large conservatory which overlooks the garden, a dining room, a kitchen, a second lounge and utility/kitchenette area, two staircases and a second floor with two bedrooms (the other bedrooms are on the first floor). There are three shower rooms in the house and two entrances. The lay out is such that the property could lend itself if desired to multiple alternative uses such as a B&B, Air bnb, a multi-generational dwelling, accommodating an extra relative, or even running a small business from the property – all subject to the relevant permissions being granted of course.

Ellel is minutes from the village of Galgate where there are plenty of local amenities such as pre-school nursery, shops, hairdressers, local pubs and a wealth of walks along the canal.
