Cross Lane, Lower Bentham, Lancaster

Green Head Farm is a delightful period farmhouse with a range of outbuildings, set in a peaceful position in the small village of Low Bentham. The property features well-presented, flexible accommodation with exposed timber beams alongside modern fittings. The property has been substantially restored and upgraded by the current owners, but still offering plenty of scope to develop further the attached stone barns, stores and workshop (2,634 sq. ft), subject to the necessary consents.

The house is accessed via the almost 21ft reception room which is a welcoming and comfortable space in which to relax, with wooden flooring, French doors opening onto the gardens and a feature fireplace fitted with a log burner. Adjoining is the equally generous open plan dining kitchen. The bespoke contemporary farmhouse style kitchen has Karndean flooring and wooden units to base and wall level providing plenty of storage and integrated appliances. The dining area provides ample space for a good-sized family table and chairs, the whole creating an ideal entertaining space. A large utility/boot room provides further space for appliances and home storage and includes a useful downstairs shower room. Completing the ground floor is a southwest-facing, dual aspect sunroom with skylights overhead, this room could be an ideal home office with an extensive outlook over the rear garden area.

There are three spacious double bedrooms on the first floor, all of which have built-in storage and a modern family bathroom with a separate shower unit. While on the second floor there is an additional double bedroom with an en suite shower room, plus a study, which could be used as a further bedroom if required.

Accessed via the second floor is a two-storey barn (2) which can be also accessed from the ground floor lending itself to be incorporated into the main house to provide additional accommodation or ideal for conversion for a dependant relative or to create holiday accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The barn gives access to the 34 ft. workshop/studio, and further onto a garden room. A smaller barn (1) at the approach of the property has an outlook to the side and front and two further stores to the rear, together with a practical outside WC.
