The Orchard, 113 Hest Bank Lane, Slyne, Lancaster, LA2 6AH

Welcome to this exceptional detached double fronted dormer bungalow. Remarkably spacious, neatly presented and in a generous and private garden, it offers excellent potential on many levels.

Accommodation enjoys good proportions and is naturally well lit with both modern appointments and attractive period features such as the fire surrounds in the sitting room and the kitchen diner, both of which have been fitted with characterful wood burning stoves.

Off the central entrance hall are sitting and dining rooms, the well-appointed kitchen features sleek cabinetry, including a corner pantry, high quality appliances and a breakfast area that is perfect for casual dining. The kitchen flows into the garden room, the ideal space for appreciating the gardens or sitting back relaxing with a book.

The Orchard has three double bedrooms, the principal bedroom being located on the ground floor, adjacent to the family bathroom, along with the second bedroom. The upstairs is where you will find a further bathroom suite, a space that would be ideal for a home office or hobbies space and the third bedroom which has a built-in storage cupboard and another room that would be perfect for a dressing room.

The garden room was added fairly recently in 2018 and is a super addition to the accommodation with a roof lantern allowing natural light to flood in as well as commanding good views over the rear garden. The stylish kitchen has also been updated as has one of the bathrooms but there exists  great scope to continue this work and also extend further (subject to consent) to put your own stamp on the property to meet your individual requirements.

Outside, The Orchard is positioned back from the road behind a fence which creates a lovely private setting. The driveway wraps around the property and leads to the double garage and an extensive parking area.  

The front and side gardens are a mix of lawn together with established and varied planting. The back garden is a delight, large and private with mature planting and large, level lawns. There's plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. A large summerhouse houses the hot tub which is included in the sale.
