Union Lane Cottage, Lancaster Road, Pilling, Preston

Escape the bustle of town living and discover your own tranquil retreat in the countryside at Union Cottage, nestled in the heart of rural Lancashire. This traditional, red-brick semi-detached cottage, with its two double bedrooms, is set upon a generous plot and enjoys panoramic views across rolling countryside-ideal for those who cherish the harmony of indoor and outdoor living.


Approach the property via a drive that accommodates several vehicles, passing through large side gates that open up the opportunity for additional parking, or even storing a caravan or motorhome with ease. Step through the front door into an entrance hallway, before entering the cosy lounge, where solid wood flooring stretches seamlessly into the dining room. A window at the front floods the space with natural light, while a traditional brick fireplace with a multi-fuel burner and solid oak mantel creates the perfect focal point for comforting evenings.


A single-storey extension to the rear transforms the space into a spacious, light-filled dining kitchen. French doors from the dining area open to the side, bringing the outside in, while a peninsula breakfast bar offers casual seating. The kitchen is fitted with solid oak cabinetry, including wall, base and display cupboards, and offers space for an American-style fridge-freezer. An electric oven, ceramic sink and hob with extractor provide practical cooking facilities, and more light floods in through both the French doors and a large rear window. A freestanding oil boiler sits discreetly beside the doors.


Upstairs you'll find two comfortable double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, with its front-aspect window and cosy wardrobe corner, offers restful seclusion, and the second bedroom - currently used as a home office and music room - looks out to the rear. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a four-piece suite, including a freestanding roll-top bath, inset shower cubicle, wash basin and WC, with a frosted window on the side for daylight and privacy.


Outside, the garden is thoughtfully landscaped to include a usable patio area and a lawn, giving room to develop further should you wish. A recently constructed garage provides valuable storage, and purpose-built kennels are ideal for working dogs or those requiring secure outdoor housing. Additionally, a brick outbuilding with plumbing offers laundry facilities, or could be converted into a home office or quiet den.


Union Cottage benefits from its location between the charming villages of Out Rawcliffe and Pilling. In this rural haven you can enjoy peaceful walks through fields and lanes, while just a short distance away guided countryside walks explore the riverbank and local footpaths. The nearby Pilling Sands provide a beautiful stretch of tidal marsh, making this a wonderful spot for bird-watching and exploring coastal nature. Despite its tranquillity, the property is within reach of surrounding towns and green landscapes such as Beacon Fell and Warton Crag, offering a rich variety of countryside experiences nearby.


Offered with no onward chain, Union Cottage delivers a rare opportunity to embrace country living - a peaceful retreat where every detail invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy the simple pleasures of rural life.
