The entrance hall has a useful cloaks cupboard and the staircase’s balustrade has a period banister rail. Under the stairs is a cloakroom with a loo and wash basin. Facing west on the front elevation the sitting room and principal bedroom above both have a striking five sided bay window, there is a formal dining room to the rear, with a square bay window and offering the opportunity to knock through and have a larger reception room stretching from front to back. As well as formal dining there is also room to have a table and chairs in the kitchen which is fitted with a

modern range of oak fronted base and wall cabinets, four ring gas hob and electric oven (both Gorenje), space for an undercounter fridge with plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher.

There is double glazing (either wooden or PVC framed) with internal secondary glazing and gas fired central heating as well as gas fires in both reception rooms and the two main bedrooms.

Location

Apart from offering a quiet and peaceful residential neighbourhood, the beauty of Lodges Grove is the sheer accessibility from a number of different directions. From here it’s a level walk into Bare where you’ll find a host of local services and shops on the attractive Princes Crescent as well as a choice of pubs and cafes for a drink or bite to eat. If the idea of a daily stroll, run or cycle ride on Morecambe Promenade appeals then this is reached less than half a mile from Lodges Grove. The train station in Bare is a great asset too for the area and offers regular connections to Morecambe and Lancaster City Centre where the station is on the main West Coast line. Lodges Grove is also highly accessible for the road network with the Bay Gateway allowing quick access to the M6 motorway; J34 is around 4 miles away, a little less into Lancaster city centre where you’ll find a wide range of services, excellent shopping, cinema and theatres. The airports at Manchester and Liverpool are 66 and 73 miles distant respectively.

The above journey distances are for approximate guidance only and have been sourced from the fastest route on the AA website from the property postcode.

Outside

Pull in off the Grove and there is a block paved area with space to park a couple of cars with ease. A detached sectional garage has an up and over door, a side personal door and window.

The main garden areas are to the west and north of the house, there are a variety of established shrubs along the front boundary and a laurel hedge fronting Mayfield Drive. The garden areas are laid with lawn and there are several mature trees which provide a degree of screening. A path leads round the back of the house to a small yard with a wooden garden shed and outside tap.
