Main Road, Bolton Le Sands, Carnforth

A Piece of Georgian History with Breathtaking Bay Views...

Nestled in the heart of the sought-after village of Bolton-le-Sands, this imposing six-bedroom detached Grade II Listed residence is steeped in history and overflowing with charm. Originally built in 1747 by James Bibby, the home has evolved over time, with elegant Victorian extensions adding depth to its character and enhancing its already grand proportions.

From the moment you approach, there’s a sense of presence. This is a home that stands proudly in its surroundings, with glorious views stretching out over the bay and beyond. Inside, you’re met with a wealth of space and beautiful period features, including high ceilings, original windows, and decorative details that tell the story of centuries past.

The heart of the home is the open-plan lounge and dining room, where large windows frame picturesque views of the garden, allowing light to pour in and adding a sense of serenity. The country-style kitchen/diner, with its charming Victorian extension, leads to the former scullery and a convenient ground-floor shower room. Below, the cellar rooms offer exciting potential, from a games room or children’s play area to a unique workspace. The old wash house and boiler room only add to the property’s narrative.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts three generous double bedrooms, a single room currently used as an office, a family bathroom complete with a cast iron claw-foot bath and a separate WC with original Victorian tiled walls. The second floor reveals two further large bedrooms, perfect for guests or growing families.

Outside, the magic continues. Sweeping lawns and a beautifully planted garden, carefully designed to reflect the seasons, create a peaceful escape. There’s a well-established vegetable plot and a delightful patio area from which to enjoy the spectacular views.

This is not just a house, it’s a home rich in history, full of soul and waiting for its next chapter to begin.
