Cockerham Road, Bay Horse, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA2

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful country lane, Holleth Cottage is an exceptional detached period residence dating from circa 1885, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy the perfect balance of heritage, luxury and an enviable rural lifestyle. Surrounded by uninterrupted countryside, every window captures breathtaking panoramic views across rolling farmland, ensuring every season provides a spectacular backdrop to everyday life.

Beautifully extended and sympathetically modernised, the property seamlessly blends the charm and craftsmanship of its Victorian origins with the clean lines and practicality of contemporary design. Original character features combine effortlessly with bright, open-plan living spaces, creating a home that is equally suited to relaxed family life and sophisticated entertaining.

Extending to approximately 2,578 sq ft, the thoughtfully designed accommodation offers an impressive level of versatility, with under floor heating throughout the ground floor, generous reception rooms, a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, three / four well-proportioned bedrooms and flexible living areas that adapt effortlessly to modern lifestyles.

Outside, the lifestyle on offer is every bit as impressive as the accommodation itself. Wake each morning to birdsong and uninterrupted countryside views, enjoy coffee on the terrace as the sun rises over the fields, and spend long summer evenings entertaining family and friends in the garden while taking in spectacular sunsets across the Lancashire landscape. The surrounding quiet lanes are perfect for walking and cycling, while nearby coastal paths, the Forest of Bowland and the Lune Valley provide endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

Despite its idyllic rural setting, Holleth Cottage offers the best of both worlds. The historic city of Lancaster, the market town of Garstang and excellent transport connections via the M6 are all within easy reach, allowing effortless commuting while returning home each day to peace, privacy and open countryside.

The property benefits from a private driveway providing ample parking together with a substantial integral double garage, complete with a permanent staircase leading to a spacious first floor. This highly versatile space presents exciting possibilities as a home office, creative studio, gym, games room or hobby space, with potential for further adaptation subject to the necessary consents.

Holleth Cottage is more than simply a beautiful period home; it offers an exceptional way of life. A place where children can enjoy the freedom of the outdoors, where entertaining flows seamlessly between inside and out, where home working is accompanied by inspiring countryside views, and where every day feels a little removed from the pace of modern life.
