Location
Nestled in the centre of Overton village, this semi-detached Victorian cottage offers an inviting mix of period charm and modern comfort. Overton is a rural location with a close-knit community, home to two welcoming pubs, a well-regarded primary school, and lovely countryside walks along the River Lune and coastal paths. The village enjoys excellent access to nearby Heysham and Morecambe for everyday amenities, while Lancaster is just a short drive away, making this an ideal base for both work and leisure.
Property Overview
This attractive home has been thoughtfully modernised, creating a stylish and practical living space that still reflects its original character. Step through the front gate and you’ll find a smart whitewashed exterior with a private walled courtyard garden to the front and gated off-road parking to the side.
Inside, the ground floor opens into a bright hallway leading to a welcoming lounge, complete with wood flooring, a feature fireplace and a log-burning stove — perfect for cosy evenings. The modern galley-style kitchen, fitted new in 2023, features sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and plenty of workspace. To the rear, a dining area flows into a light-filled sitting room with French doors opening out to the courtyard, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A separate utility area provides convenient storage and space for laundry.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both tastefully decorated and full of natural light. The main bedroom offers generous space, while the second enjoys open views across the village and surrounding countryside. The brand-new bathroom, completed in 2025, includes a contemporary suite with a large walk-in shower and separate bath, finished with modern tiling and fittings.
Outside, the rear courtyard is fully enclosed and attractively landscaped with planting beds, wall trellises and space for seating. There is also a useful shed for storage. To the side, secure gates open to a driveway area for parking.
