Hall Carr Lane, Longton, PR4

Seclusion, serenity, security and space to breathe: discover sociable living, cosy retreats and gardens fringing fields and countryside, hidden along a leafy gated driveway within walking distance of Longton.

Toward the end of Hall Carr Lane, rurality meets with the convenience of cafes, supermarkets and wine bars all within walking distance, as homes give way to fields grazed by cows and sheep. Follow the long, conifer-lined driveway to discover Brook House, a home ready to evolve with family life.

Electric gates open to parking for six cars and interconnecting double and single garages, while a slate-roofed oak porch sets the scene, flanked by log stores.

Step into the broad, bright entrance hall, where stone flags flow into the kitchen and light falls from the landing above. Freshen up in the tiled cloakroom behind the central staircase.

Family spaces

Gather, to the right, in the spacious sitting room, where grey tones, wooden flooring and garden views create a cosy backdrop to family life. Light the log burner in its stone surround and curl up with popcorn, with room for an 80-inch television and surround sound bringing the cinema home.

Sunlight fills the kitchen, where ample worktops, handleless drawers and a full-height pull-out larder keep family cooking organised. A five-ring gas hob, separate oven and grill, microwave to cater for hungry households.

Flagstone flooring flows through dining and living spaces, where open French doors invite sunshine and fresh air indoors, perfect for summer brunches.

Opening up off the kitchen, children can play, do homework or unwind in the bright and cosy lounge while dinner cooks next door.

With scope to combine the two, the utility and adjoining boot room link the kitchen to the garages, offering ample storage, a second sink and plumbing for a washer and dryer.

Flexible living

Upstairs from the side entrance, the light and spacious playroom gives older children somewhere to gather with friends, away from the main living spaces and principal bedroom. With a WC off the landing, it could also serve as a hobby or games room, with annexe potential incorporating the garages below.

Off the landing, a large office (previously a large double bedroom) basks in garden views, sharing a Jack and Jill shower room with a nearby bedroom.

Spacious and bright, with walk-in shower, the Jack and Jill bathroom serves a large guest bedroom, offering leafy views and dressed in calm grey and white décor.

Across the landing a further spacious double bedroom awaits, within easy reach of the family bathroom, tiled in soft latte tones, with a double ended bath furnished with shower overhead.

Positioned over the handsome oak porch, a fourth bedroom, originally conceived of as a nursery, again offers ample space for children.

Tucked away on its own side of the landing, the principal suite invites mornings in bed gazing through the tall picture window over the garden to fields beyond. Trees frame the side window, while a fitted dressing room and spacious en suite with bath and shower complete the retreat.

On the top floor, two light-filled double bedrooms and a bathroom mean guests can settle in and stay after dinner. Both offer space for a king-size bed or could become bright home offices for those working remotely.

Outdoor escapes

Follow the sun from the side garden in the morning to the spacious patio beyond the French doors, where the granite-topped outdoor kitchen provides the perfect setting for evening entertaining, designed with space to add a barbecue and pizza oven. Catch the last evening rays on the rear decking at the bottom of the garden. Perfectly private and not overlooked, at the bottom of the garden runs a brook where ducks return with their broods while cows graze just beyond in the fields for a real sense of rural living.

Overlooked by the office, the side garden has space for football, a barked play area with slide and swing, and sleeper-built compost bays. Walls enclose three sides, giving children room to roam within the grounds.

Out and about

Experience the peace of country living with Longton’s shops, cafés, pubs and wine bars within walking distance, alongside Booths, a local Spar and schools close by. Walmer Bridge is also within easy reach, while Worden Park makes a favourite family outing for picnics and play not far away.

 A forever home ready to evolve with you, offering space for growing families, grandparents and home working, 65A Hall Carr Lane brings everyone together while giving each their own space. Private and secure, yet five minutes from village amenities, it’s a home where children can live the good life, playing to a soundtrack of birdsong and cows in the neighbouring fields.
