Most of the principal rooms within the house are also equipped with Lightwave RF lighting, allowing programmable mood and scene lighting to enhance the atmosphere throughout the home.

Garstang Road sits within the desirable Bowgreave area, offering convenient access to the nearby market town of Garstang. The location is well regarded for its surrounding countryside, local schools and straightforward road connections to nearby villages and towns. Garstang itself offers a wide selection of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities, while the beautiful Lancashire countryside is easily accessible, making the area an appealing setting for a range of buyers.
