Location

Whitelands enjoys a peaceful position in one of Halton’s most desirable residential pockets, set along the banks of the River Lune with uninterrupted views and direct access to the riverbank. Despite the tranquillity, the property is just a short walk from the village centre and only 4 miles from Lancaster. Halton itself is a well-served village offering a post office, primary school, community centre, and convenience store. A regular bus route connects to Lancaster, while access to the M6 is quick and convenient via Junction 34. Lancaster city provides excellent schooling options, two universities, and a busy train station with West Coast Main Line connections. For those who enjoy the outdoors, nearby cycle paths, woodland walks and the surrounding Lune Valley are right on the doorstep.

Property Details

A spacious riverside home with flexible living and further potential

This substantial three-storey home offers flexible living accommodation, ideal for families or buyers needing work-from-home space. On the ground floor, the layout includes two generous reception rooms: a front-facing lounge with wood-burning stove and French doors opening out to the garden, and a second living room which opens into a dining area set within a bright, vaulted extension overlooking the rear garden. The recently updated bespoke kitchen features a range of handmade beech plywood carcasses, modern shaker-style cabinets, integrated appliances, and quartz-effect worktops. A separate utility room and WC provide further practicality, along with internal access to the garage.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms on the first floor – two of which are generous doubles, including a bay-fronted room with elevated river views. The four-piece family bathroom has been modernised with a freestanding bath, contemporary vanity unit and large-format tiled walls. The second floor houses a fourth double bedroom with built-in storage and a large Velux window providing views towards the treetops and river.

There is also scope to extend the accommodation further. Beneath the existing home lies a generous undercroft space which could, subject to planning and consents, be converted to create a lower ground floor – ideal for additional living space, guest accommodation, or a self-contained annexe.

The rear garden is a standout feature, with a large stone-paved terrace, spacious lawn, and mature planting offering excellent privacy. Most notably, the garden leads directly to the River Lune, with no properties behind, offering a rare and highly desirable riverside lifestyle.
