Aldcliffe, Lancaster | A Private Countryside Home with Open Views, Land and Three-Storey Living

Location

Arna Wood Barn is tucked along a quiet country lane in the highly regarded village of Aldcliffe, forming part of a small and exclusive courtyard development. The setting feels settled and private, surrounded by open countryside and big skies, with uninterrupted views stretching across the River Lune. It’s the kind of place where life moves at a gentler pace, with minimal traffic, a strong sense of community and space for children to grow up outdoors, yet without feeling isolated.

Despite its rural feel, Lancaster city centre is just a short five-minute drive away, making day-to-day life refreshingly easy. Excellent local schools, shops, cafes and medical facilities are all within close reach, while the surrounding area offers scenic walks straight from the doorstep, including riverside paths and open farmland. The location works particularly well for families and professionals who want countryside living without sacrificing convenience or connectivity.

The Property

This substantial five-bedroom mid-barn conversion is arranged over three floors and has been thoughtfully laid out for modern family life. From the moment you step inside, the sense of space and balance is clear. The welcoming hallway leads to a ground floor WC, a practical utility room and a separate cupboard housing the oil boiler, keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away.

To the front of the home, the kitchen diner is a real hub of daily life. Finished with solid oak flooring, the U-shaped kitchen offers generous worktop space, integrated appliances and room for a large dining table, making it ideal for family meals and entertaining alike. The outlook across the courtyard adds to the sense of character and connection to the setting. To the rear, the living room provides a calm and comfortable retreat, easily accommodating a large seating area and opening directly onto the garden, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow together.

The first floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from their own en-suite shower rooms, alongside a well-finished family bathroom. The top floor is given over to a spacious fifth bedroom with built-in eaves storage and its own en-suite, previously used as a playroom but equally well suited as a guest suite, main bedroom or home workspace. Throughout the house, the presentation is immaculate, with upgraded fully tiled bathrooms, double glazing and a consistent, well-cared-for finish.

Outside, the property enjoys a private garden alongside an additional 0.5-acre field, offering space and views that is rarely found with a home of this type. A garage with power and lighting, along with ample parking both directly outside the property and within the courtyard, completes a home that works effortlessly for family life and hosting visitors.
