Built in 1954, this double fronted true bungalow provides all of the practicality and convenience of single level living in a generous and immaculately maintained garden of 0.98 acres which offers the opportunity of extension. Modernised and exceptionally well maintained, Woodlands is tastefully presented giving new owners the opportunity to move straight in. The front elevation faces south west and so both property and garden enjoy a super sunny aspect all day long. If you have ever driven into Carnforth from the south you will no doubt have admired the eye catching colourful planting in the very striking rockery.

The front door is on the front elevation, although in reality, you’ll probably come and go via the side vestibule off the kitchen. The front door opens into a vestibule which in turn leads to the central hallway off which all rooms flow. Within the hall, the loft hatch opens to the roof space which has potential for conversion, subject to consent. The south west facing sitting room has a lovely bay window with a leafy green view of the front garden. An attractive fire surround houses the real flame gas fire. The dining kitchen is a super light, spacious and sociable space with a Karndean floor. Timeless cream panel fronted cabinets have laminate worktops and extend into a peninsula unit. There’s a Rangemaster Toledo range cooker with a double oven and grill, Bosch fridge freezer slots neatly into cabinets and is included in the sale as are the dishwasher, washing machine and microwave (all Bosch).

The principal bedroom also faces south west and has a bay window overlooking the garden. The second double bedroom enjoys the morning sun and looks out to the rear garden. The third bedroom is a single and would make a super home office or hobbies space if required. The smart and stylish shower room offers a large cubicle, vanity unit and WC. There’s good storage, an illuminated mirror and a Karndean floor. Throughout there are PVC double glazed windows (obscured glass in the shower room for privacy) and external doors, internal doors are oak, a couple being part glazed to enhance the flow of natural light.

Moving outside, if you enjoy a generous garden then Woodlands will not disappoint. There’s ample parking, a single detached garage, greenhouse and shed. The garage is probably a touch on the small side for cars nowadays but it makes an excellent store and home for garden machinery and tools. The rear terrace gets the morning sun so is a favourite place for breakfast, morning coffee or lunch. The large rear lawn has established planting; copper and green maple trees and a lovely white flowering magnolia. Paving continues round to the front of the bungalow and extends into a seating area outside the front door. Steps lead down to the extensive front lawn, either side of which is a limestone rockery. Along the road frontage trees and shrubs provide screening and privacy in the garden. If you like to walk, run or cycle then the garden gate which provides a handy short cut onto the tow path of the Lancaster Canal will definitely appeal.
