5 bedroom house

A quite magnificent family home set within the picturesque village of Forton offering substantial living space set within a near 1/2 acre plot with a large outbuilding/double garage. The garage is ripe for conversion to annexed living quarters (subject to the relevant planning). Newstead Cottage has been tastefully and immaculately upgraded by the present owners and is sure to appeal to a wide range of aspiring homeowners. The ground floor accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway/snug along with three well proportioned bedrooms, the family bathroom, the utility room and a versatile room which could just as easily be a home gym or office as bedroom number five. The first floor hosts a gorgeous master bedroom with ensuite, a handy WC, a well designed and appointed lounge/dining room and a magnificent open plan kitchen/diner/breakfast area which incorporates a stylish SieMatic kitchen and a range of NEFF appliances. Externally the property has courtyard frontage and a sweeping driveway to the rear which is mostly laid to lawn. The double garage with space to the side and above for conversion completes the plot and the rear of the property has an open aspect view across green pasture land and this can be enjoyed from both the rear of the property as well as the garage/workshop/potentially annexed accommodation. Forton sits within easy access of Lancaster, Garstang and Preston along the A6 and is close to the popular Trough of Bowland and a wealth of neighbouring countryside walks. Junction 33 of the M6 is mere minutes away for the commuting professional. We anticipate a high level of interest, contact our office as soon as possible to arrange your internal inspection.
