Location

Positioned within the well-regarded village of Hest Bank, Kirklands enjoys a peaceful setting with a strong sense of community and easy access to both countryside and coastline. The area is particularly popular with families and those looking to upsize, offering a blend of village character and everyday convenience. Nearby, you’ll find local shops, well-regarded schools and regular transport links into Lancaster and along the coast.

Hest Bank is also known for its proximity to Morecambe Bay, with coastal walks, open green spaces and views across the estuary all close at hand. The village sits within easy reach of the M6, making it a practical choice for commuters, while still retaining a quieter, semi-rural feel. This balance of accessibility and setting continues to make the area a consistently sought-after place to live.

The Property

Occupying an extensive corner plot, this detached home stands out for the scale and maturity of its gardens. The grounds wrap around the property and include established hedging, well-stocked flower beds and lawned areas, creating a private and well-defined setting. A driveway sits comfortably within the plot, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles alongside a detached garage.

The property itself dates from the inter-war period and was extended in the late 1960s or early 1970s, creating a more versatile layout. The ground floor offers two reception rooms, including a bright living space with a bay window and garden views, as well as a second reception room which could serve as a dining room or additional sitting room. The kitchen is centrally positioned and functional, with access through to a large rear porch/utility space. A three-piece bathroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, all capable of accommodating a double bed, along with a three-piece shower room. The main bedroom is particularly well-proportioned, while one of the additional bedrooms benefits from its own WC.

While the property is dated in presentation, it has been well cared for and retains character features such as stained glass detailing, making it an appealing opportunity for buyers looking to personalise a home in a prime village setting.
