Outdoor Living & Additional Spaces

The stunning private garden is a true highlight, which is mostly lawned and is enclosed with attractive stone walling, with sitting areas, stepping stones, a charming pond, numerous bird boxes, an abundance of well-stocked and established flowerbeds, shrubs and mature trees maintaining a high degree of privacy and forming a pleasant backdrop. Some of the seasonal flowering bulbs include snowdrops, daffodils, tulips, bluebells and crocuses, as well as hostas, wild garlic and clematis which grows up the majestic sycamore tree in May.

The detached garden room provides a year-round entertaining space, a personal gym, or a serene home office, complete with a log burner and full-length windows offering serene garden views. A separate detached stone building comprises a workshop, laundry room, and cloakroom with a WC, with the potential to be transformed into annexe accommodation for a family member or as a rental (subject to planning consent).

Other features include a glass-walled single garage, a charming gazebo, and attractive iron driveway gates leading to secure parking for several vehicles with a log store.

Location

Nestled within the Scorton Conservation Area, The Lodge enjoys a prime, central position in this charming village. Everything you need is within easy reach - an active local community, a welcoming primary school, children’s play park, church, and village hall. For daily essentials there’s a Spar shop, plus a gift shop, garden centre, and several inviting cafés, pubs, and restaurants. Scorton is a favourite destination for a leisurely drive out, afternoon tea, or an ice cream. Cyclists also love it as a mid-ride stop, thanks to the many scenic routes passing through.

Nearby Amenities

Just a short distance away, Garstang caters for your wider day-to-day needs with supermarkets including Booths, Sainsbury’s, and Aldi, alongside a vibrant high street full of independent retailers and a bustling weekly market.

When you’re in the mood for city life, Lancaster is close at hand, offering an impressive range of commercial and leisure facilities. Dine on cuisine from around the globe, shop in a largely pedestrianised town centre, and explore a rich cultural scene with theatres, cinemas, music festivals, and art events throughout the year. Lancaster is also home to two universities, major employers, and both NHS and private hospitals.

Outdoor Lifestyle

For those who love the outdoors, Scorton is a gateway to some of Lancashire’s best scenery. Several walking and cycling routes begin right in the village centre. The popular Millennium Way to Garstang is just one example, while to the east lies Nicky Nook - a rewarding climb offering a spectacular 360-degree panorama. On a clear day, you can see Morecambe Bay, Blackpool Tower, the Lake District fells, and even the Isle of Man. Scorton also sits on the edge of the Forest of Bowland (Bowland Fells), an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty spanning 32 square miles. Here you’ll find fells, deep valleys, ancient woodland, heather-clad moors, and an extensive network of footpaths, bridleways, and country lanes, perfect for walking, running, or cycling adventures.

Connectivity

Another of Scorton’s great advantages is its excellent accessibility. The A6 and M6 (Junction 33) are close by, making travel for business, family, or leisure straightforward. Lancaster train station, on the main West Coast line, provides direct connections to destinations across the country.
