Location

Ackenthwaite Court is an attractive cul-de-sac of just eight homes, with Number One enjoying a particularly peaceful position bordering open fields and farmland. This exclusive location is within easy walking distance of the town centre, which offers well-regarded primary and secondary schools, a doctor’s surgery, a variety of shops, restaurants, takeaway outlets and Booths supermarket. For those travelling further afield, excellent road links are close by, providing easy access to Kendal and Lancaster, the stunning coastline around Arnside and Silverdale, and the M6 motorway.

Description

On arrival, the front door opens into a welcoming hallway, with doors leading to two generous double bedrooms overlooking the rear garden and a family bathroom. A large fitted cupboard provides ample space for coats, shoes, and household essentials, and there is additional storage in a cupboard below the stairs.

The largest bedroom is a spacious double, with room for a range of freestanding furniture, while the third bedroom is currently arranged as a home office but could easily be adapted into a single bedroom. This level also benefits from an external door beneath the stairs, allowing seamless access round to the rear garden.

Continuing up the stairs, you arrive at a bright landing with doors leading into the open-plan living and dining area and kitchen. The living and dining space is beautifully positioned in front of two large windows, offering elevated views across open fields and farmland stretching towards Heversham Head. A gas fire provides a welcoming focal point and warmth, while an open arch seamlessly connects the kitchen, creating an ideal space for socialising and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of storage cupboards and a complementary three-sided worktop, providing ample preparation space. Integrated within the worktop is a stainless steel sink with drainer and mixer tap, and there is space for a cooker, upright fridge/freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine. A glazed door leads out to the balcony seating area, the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of tea while taking in the views.

On the second floor, you will find the master bedroom suite, featuring two Velux roof lights that frame stunning views over the surrounding farmland. The room benefits from a walk-in wardrobe with eaves storage access, and the bedroom itself also provides additional eaves storage. The bedroom is further completed by an en-suite shower room, which includes a shower enclosure with a wall-mounted electric shower, WC, and pedestal basin, creating a private and comfortable retreat.

To the front of the property, a tarmac driveway leads to a single garage with a remote-controlled door, alongside a walled planted bed featuring mature shrubs and bushes. At the rear, there is an enclosed, low-maintenance garden laid over two levels and finished with stone chippings. Mature shrubs provide a sense of privacy, creating a peaceful outdoor oasis that can be enjoyed as it is or tailored to suit the buyer’s own gardening ideas.
