Beyond is superb connectivity to rail networks via Carnforth and Lancaster, on to the West Coast Main Line with direct trains to Manchester and London Euston.

Until recent retirement the premises has been run as a successful family butchers. The residential accommodation above the shop premises was converted around 2016 and offers excellently presented, generous two bedroom accommodation on the first floor with views over the village. This opportunity is ideal for business owners seeking the convenience of both living and working premises or for those looking to generate dual revenue from the residential and commercial areas.
