Online Auction - 17th to 18th March 2026

Detached Four Bedroom Lodge On Substantial Plot With Several Outbuildings

A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive timber Scandinavian Lodge constructed circa 1960, offering deceptively four-bedroom accommodation and set within a generous plot on Lower Lane, close to the heart of Freckleton village. The property is conveniently positioned within a short stroll of local shops and amenities, and within easy reach of Lytham St Annes, Preston and Kirkham, all benefiting from excellent transport links.

The lodge offers well-proportioned and versatile living space, with the added advantage of significant development potential. There is scope for enhancement or extension to the existing accommodation, potential conversion of the brick outbuilding (subject to the necessary consents), and further opportunity in respect of the adjoining paddock, which has previously benefitted from planning permission for two dwellings. In addition, there is potential relating to the adjoining ‘Crofters Cottage’ (circa 1750s), subject to all requisite planning and building approvals.

Accommodation An open porch leads to the entrance hall with timber-clad walls and access to loft space and cloaks/storage.

The principal lounge is an impressive reception room featuring a vaulted, beamed ceiling and bi-fold doors opening onto a sun terrace and the lawned gardens. A slate-tiled chimney breast houses a Spanish ‘Rofer & Rodi’ wood-burning stove with integrated convector system serving the bedroom areas. The lounge flows through to an open-plan dining room.

The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with laminate work surfaces, inset stainless steel sink unit, and a Leisure range cooker with five-ring gas hob and extractor canopy.

A separate study and a fourth bedroom (currently utilised as a study) provide flexibility for home working or guest accommodation. The cloaks/utility room incorporates plumbing for laundry appliances and a low-level WC.

The bedroom accommodation comprises three further bedrooms, including a principal suite with double doors onto a private timber-decked sun terrace and an en suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are well proportioned, with bedroom three currently arranged as a dressing room. A modern family bathroom with three-piece suite completes the internal accommodation.

The property benefits from electric underfloor heating throughout, supplemented by the wood-burning stove, and immersion heating for domestic hot water.
Externally To the front, a wide lawned garden is complemented by a stone double driveway providing off-road parking via gated access. A brick store offers conversion potential, subject to consent. A second driveway extends to the side, leading to a substantial timber and concrete garage (approximately 30ft x 16ft) with adjoining car port/store.

To the rear, the property enjoys extensive gardens including a lawn, sun terrace, timber decking area and a substantial rear paddock. The site offers clear potential for further development, subject to the appropriate permissions.
Summary This is a unique and versatile residential opportunity offering spacious accommodation, substantial grounds and significant development potential in a desirable village location. The property is considered ideally suited to owner-occupiers, developers and investors seeking to unlock the site’s full potential, subject to the necessary consents.
