Description

Nestled in a peaceful residential area of Overton near the historic village of Heysham, this delightful 3/4-bedroom detached cottage offers the perfect blend of character and comfort. Built in the 1600's the property offers versatile living space, including spacious reception rooms, and a modern bespoke kitchen extending to garden room (added early 2000's), and flexible bedroom accommodation ideal for those seeking a home office or guest room.

Just a short stroll from the scenic Morecambe Bay coastline, this charming home benefits from excellent local amenities, well-regarded schools, and convenient transport links, including access to the M6 and regular rail services. Whether you're looking for tranquil coastal living or a base to explore the Lake District and beyond, this cottage presents a rare opportunity in a sought-after location.

Dining Room

This characterful space is finished with traditional slate flooring, along with exposed brickwork, beams to both the walls and ceiling, giving a rustic yet cosy feel. A log burner set within a stone backdrop forms the focal point of the room, while an under stairs storage cupboard provides a practical touch. Additionally, there is a secondary entrance to the outside, this is in addition to the main entrance which is  via the drive/garden into the kitchen.

Living Room

The dining area leads through to the living room where the character continues with exposed stonework and beams throughout. The room is centred around an open stone fireplace housing a gas fire, adding both atmosphere and warmth. French doors open directly to the garden/patio, allowing plenty of natural light to flow in.

Kitchen

The kitchen sits at the heart of the property and embraces a traditional, rustic style. It features an electric AGA with a separate gas hob, complemented by a central island, Belfast sink, and a combination of wall, drawer, and base units. The slate flooring ties the space together, while a door opens out onto the patio, making it an ideal set up for both everyday living and entertaining.

Garden Room

Added in the early 2000s, the garden room provides a lighter, more modern contrast. Designed with wood flooring, a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and bifold wooden doors, this is a bright and versatile space that connects beautifully with the outdoor areas.

Utility Room / Shower Room

Off the kitchen sits a useful utility room with plumbing and space for a washer/dryer, and housing the gas central heating boiler. From here, you access a downstairs shower room, tiled fully from floor to ceiling, with a double wash basin and WC.

Landing

Stairs lead up to a landing full of character, with wooden flooring, exposed beams along the ceiling and walls, and areas of exposed stone, continuing the rustic charm of the home.

Family Bathroom

A modern three piece family bathroom offers both style and practicality. It includes a double shower cubicle and tongue-and-groove bath, with floor-to-ceiling tiling, while traditional beams and exposed stonework add character.

Master Bedroom

At the end of the landing, the master bedroom is a generous double with a feature fireplace, wooden flooring, beams, and a mix of stone and plastered walls.
