Highgate House, Hillam Lane, Lancaster

Love Homes Estate Agents are thrilled to present this distinguished home, nestled in a peaceful rural setting yet within a convenient driving distance to both the nearby town of Garstang and the city of Lancaster. The location combines tranquil country living with the practical benefits of accessibility, making it an ideal choice for commuters and families alike.

On approach, the home impresses with its striking stone-built façade. Offering a harmonious blend of traditional country charm with a contemporary edge, this property provides ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Tile pathways encircle the property, leading up to raised flower beds dotted with young shrubs that will grow into lush, mature borders over time. A detached double garage, complete with an electric up-and-over door, offers excellent storage options for vehicles or additional belongings and features solar panels on its roof. With side access from the rear garden and interior lighting and electrical sockets, the garage is both practical and versatile.

Entering the home through the composite front door, a beautifully panelled entrance porch greets you, setting an elegant tone. Marble-effect tiles flow seamlessly from the hallway through to the expansive kitchen, dining, and living space. From the hallway, access is provided to two reception rooms, with stairs leading to the upper floor. The entire ground floor is enhanced by underfloor heating, ensuring comfort throughout.

To the left of the hallway, a versatile study-accessed through a part-glazed door-features a UPVC sash window to the front elevation, wall-mounted sockets, and connections for a TV aerial. Opposite, the spacious living room offers a stunning focal point: a log burner framed by a stone mantelpiece. A media wall above the fireplace provides recessed space for a TV, complete with power and aerial sockets. The room is brightened by UPVC sash windows on two sides, complemented by panelled feature walls and wall-mounted lighting.

The kitchen showcases an array of tasteful Shaker-style wall and base units, all topped with a complementing work surface.

The adjoining dining and living space features bi-fold doors that open to breathtaking countryside views and the landscaped rear garden. A media wall with an electric fireplace and wall-mounting space for a TV adds a contemporary focal point, while a further door leads to the utility room and W/C. Appointed with additional wall and base units, a sink, and space for both a washing machine and dryer, the utility room is elegantly tiled from floor to ceiling with matching floor tiles and includes a recessed storage ledge.
