Woodlands, Lodge Lane, Melling, Carnforth, LA6

Approached via a wide gravel driveway with ample parking for several vehicles, the house sits proudly behind established greenery and a charming front porch that hints at the inviting space within. The setting is truly special—private, quiet and wrapped in natural beauty from every angle.

Step inside and you are greeted by a bright, spacious hallway where wood flooring and neutral décor create a calm, timeless backdrop. From here, the home unfolds effortlessly.

To the right, the main lounge is a standout feature—an expansive room with dual-aspect windows that frame leafy views and draw light across the space. The contemporary inset fireplace offers a stylish focal point, making this a cosy retreat on winter evenings while still offering a wonderful scale for entertaining.

Across the hall sits a dedicated study, an essential space for home working, hobbies or quiet reading. Whether you’re a remote worker or simply need an organised area away from the main living zones, this room provides desirable flexibility.

Stretching the full depth of the house, the generous kitchen/breakfast room is truly the heart of Woodlands. Sleek white cabinetry, granite worktops and high-quality integrated appliances combine to create a contemporary yet welcoming environment. A central island provides both additional workspace and a natural gathering point for family and friends.

French doors open directly onto the rear patio, allowing meals, conversation and moments of relaxation to flow naturally between indoors and out. With space for a large dining table and informal seating, this is a room designed for togetherness—ideal for busy weekday mornings, relaxed weekend brunches or hosting special occasions.

Practicality is seamlessly woven into the design, with a well-appointed utility room, ground floor WC, and direct access to the integral garage.

Head upstairs to find a bright and generous landing with contemporary glass balustrades—a detail that enhances the sense of openness and light, we also feel this location could be a fantastic second office if needed! The first floor offers four excellent bedrooms, each benefiting from garden or woodland views and ample natural light. Three of the bedrooms also benefit from fitted cabinetry. 

The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, offering a peaceful sanctuary at the end of the day. Three further bedrooms accommodate family, guests or a combination of uses, including dressing rooms or additional office space. Two well-presented bathrooms serve the upstairs, offering convenience and comfort for a busy household, the smart thermostatic showers are a particularly welcome addition! The layout is practical, balanced and designed with family life in mind.

The outdoor space at Woodlands is a true extension of the home’s appeal. Mature trees, established shrubs and an abundance of greenery provide structure, privacy and a spectacular seasonal backdrop. A large stone-paved terrace wraps around the rear of the property—ideal for barbecues, al fresco dining or quiet evening relaxation as you listen to birdsong from the surrounding woodland. Steps lead down to a generous lawn, bordered by hedging and dotted with planting that enhances the sense of seclusion. A garden shed offers additional storage for tools, bikes and outdoor equipment. For nature lovers, children, pets and anyone who values outdoor space, these gardens offer an exceptional degree of freedom and tranquility.

Woodlands is more than just a house—it is a lifestyle. A place where families grow, memories are made, and the surroundings become part of your daily enjoyment. With its generous living spaces, beautiful setting and strongly connected community, this is an opportunity to own a home that truly stands out.
