Bowland Gardens, Forton

When it comes to finding a generously sized family home in a highly sought-after semi-rural location, Bowland Gardens in Forton may just be the place-and this particular property could be the perfect match. Situated on an enviable corner plot, this beautifully presented home offers spacious gardens, ample driveway parking, a detached garage, and an abundance of natural light throughout.


From the kerb, the home boasts strong modern appeal. What was once an open porch has been cleverly enclosed by the current owners, creating a highly practical entrance area with built-in storage-ideal for muddy boots, coats, or even drying off the dog-before stepping into the main house.


Inside, the entrance hall immediately sets the tone with its stylish design. Doors lead into the cosy living room and the open-plan dining kitchen, while the staircase ahead takes you to the first floor. The living room is split into two defined spaces, offering a perfect set-up for relaxed evenings in front of the television, while the extended area at the rear provides flexibility for a variety of uses. Whether as a children's playroom, home office, formal dining area or a peaceful garden room, this light-filled space-with its quad-fold doors opening out to the private rear garden-truly brings the outdoors in. Notably, the extension was completed to full building regulations and constructed with upgraded footings, allowing for the potential to add a second storey above, subject to the relevant planning permissions.


From here, a door leads into the utility room, which also includes a ground floor WC, and continues through to the spacious dining kitchen. This sociable and thoughtfully designed space features a wide range of wall, base, and central island units. The layout allows for excellent flow-every room is connected, which makes daily life easier and is especially beneficial for those needing accessible, mobility-friendly living. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, including an oven and hob with extractor, fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. There's even a walk-in pantry cupboard, offering superb storage. The central island doubles as a breakfast bar, perfect for informal dining or chatting with friends over a glass of wine. The current owners have positioned a formal dining table to the front of the kitchen, though this space could easily serve as a second lounge or relaxed seating area thanks to wall-mounted TV points.


Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. There are four bedrooms in total, all well proportioned. The primary bedroom features fitted wardrobes and a private en suite shower room. The additional bedrooms, currently tailored to younger members of the family, are all generous in size and could easily be adapted for older children or visiting guests. A modern three-piece family bathroom completes the first floor.


Externally, the rear garden is a true highlight. With separate areas designed for relaxing, socialising, play, and planting, it offers something for everyone. As a corner plot, the garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and has been landscaped to provide a welcoming outdoor space, whether the next owners prefer low maintenance or more involved gardening. There is also access to the detached garage, which offers further storage or workshop options.


Forton itself is a well-regarded village nestled between Garstang and Lancaster, making it an ideal location for families seeking a mix of countryside living and excellent accessibility. The local area boasts good primary schools, the popular village of Scorton, and the scenic walking routes around Nicky Nook. For commuters, the A6 and M6 motorway provide straightforward links to Lancaster, Preston, and beyond, making daily travel or weekend escapes remarkably convenient.


This is a warm, versatile and modern family home in a brilliant location, with the added bonus of future development potential-viewings are highly recommended.
