Hatlex Lane, Hest Bank, Lancaster, LA2

Situated right in the heart of Hest Bank, one of the most desirable villages along the Bay, this is a home that wraps you up the moment you step inside. It’s a place where children can grow, dogs can roam, and memories form naturally in the spaces created with family life at their core.

Set back from the road with an exceptionally spacious driveway, the front of the property makes an impressive first impression. Whether you have multiple cars, visitors arriving often, or teenagers soon needing a spot for their first set of wheels, parking will never be a problem here. There’s also a lovely stretch of front lawn and planting that softens the approach and hints at the care that the current owners have poured into their home. They’ve invested heavily — not only financially, but with heart — to transform this property into something wonderfully stylish and practical.

Step inside and you’ll find a bright hallway leading into a beautifully updated home. To the front sits a cosy bay fronted lounge, perfect for film nights or a quiet retreat from the bustle of family life.

But it’s the rear of the home that truly steals the show. The owners’ vision has created a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, flooded with natural light from skylights and wide sliding doors that frame the garden. The herringbone flooring, contemporary lighting and elegant cabinetry come together to form a warm, sociable heart to the house. It’s a space designed for gatherings – birthday breakfasts, homework at the table, Sunday cooking with friends drifting in and out to the garden.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into a separate utility room, a brilliant practical bonus for families. There’s masses of storage, space for laundry, and direct access to the integral garage. In the garage you’ll find a built-in dog bath – ideal for muddy paws after a beach walk, (if you don’t have a dog… well, it’s also perfectly sized for washing football boots. or small children. But we didn’t officially say that). A handy downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs offers four inviting bedrooms. The master bedroom is a true sanctuary – spacious, peaceful, and opening onto a private balcony overlooking the garden with long-range views stretching out towards the Lake District. Watching the morning light on the fells here feels like a little piece of magic every day. The master also benefits from a sleek, modern en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms, all well-proportioned and perfect for children, guests or a dedicated home office. A beautifully styled family bathroom serves these rooms with contemporary finishes and a three piece suite with shower over the bath tub. 

Step outside and the garden immediately feels calm and private. The lower patio area is perfect for summer meals, potted plants and relaxing in the sun. A few steps lead to the upper lawn which offers plenty of space for children to play, footballs to be kicked, and garden parties to be held. Raised planting and boundary fencing create interest and shape, while still offering lots of room to make the outside space truly your own.

1 Hatlex Lane is more than a property. It’s a beautifully crafted family home in a village that truly offers the best of North Lancashire living. Thoughtfully extended, stylishly modernised and perfectly situated, it has everything a modern family could ever wish for. If you’re searching for a home where your family can grow, flourish and create years of cherished memories, this is the one that will stay in your heart long after you’ve viewed it. A rare opportunity — and one not to be missed.
