2 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated in the ever-popular village of Forton, just a few minutes from Scorton and with excellent connections to Garstang, Preston, Lancaster and the Fylde Coast, this beautifully presented detached home is one that truly deserves early viewing.

Owned and enjoyed by the current vendors since 2014, the property is set in a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering both tranquillity and convenience. From the moment you arrive, the care and attention given to the home is clear. The front garden is a picture of neat lawns and carefully maintained planting, which in season bursts into colour. A generous driveway extends along the side of the house, providing ample parking and leading to a larger-than-average detached garage with its own workshop area.

On entering the home, the double-height hallway immediately creates a sense of light and space. The main living room is generously proportioned, with windows to two elevations ensuring the room is bright throughout the day. An electric coal-effect fireplace provides a focal point as well as an additional source of warmth. To the rear of the ground floor is a useful WC and laundry room, fitted with plumbing for a washing machine. This space previously housed a shower, which could easily be reinstated if desired.

A versatile snug, which once served as a ground floor bedroom, offers an ideal setting for reading, hobbies, home working, or simply relaxing. From here, the room opens directly into a lovely conservatory that stretches across the rear of the home and connects seamlessly with the kitchen. The kitchen itself is modern and well appointed, fitted with a range of white wall and base units, complemented by quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include a high-level oven and warming drawers, food waste disposal unit, electric hob and dishwasher, with space for a freestanding fridge-freezer. A breakfast table positioned by the windows makes this an inviting space for informal dining while enjoying views of the garden.

Upstairs, the property offers two spacious bedrooms, each benefitting from eaves storage which serves as both wardrobe and general storage space. The accommodation is completed by a stylish en-suite shower room comprising a corner shower, wash basin and WC, all neatly set within a full-width vanity cabinet.

The rear garden is as well cared for as the front, with established planting, neat lawns and a pleasant patio area, creating an ideal setting for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. Sunlight reaches different parts of the garden throughout the day, while two external cupboards provide practical storage, one housing the combi boiler and the other for general use.

This is a home that combines comfort, practicality and charm in equal measure. With its peaceful location, beautifully maintained gardens and light-filled accommodation, it is a property that will appeal to a wide range of buyers, and one we are sure the next owners will be proud to call their own.

Living in Forton offers a rare blend of peace and accessibility. Villagers enjoy a strong sense of community, with excellent local spots for evening meals and socialising. There is a well-regarded pub (The Holly) offering good food, independent cafés and ice cream parlours nearby, all within a short drive. The convenience of being so close to larger market towns like Garstang means that in addition to village-amenities you have wider shopping, restaurants and leisure options almost on your doorstep.

Scorton, just a few minutes away, has a particularly appealing character. It supports a primary school, local shops, post office, several churches and hospitality venues such as cafés, restaurant-bars and garden/gift centres. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Scorton is a destination. The Millennium Way route to Garstang provides scenic field and river walks; the climb up Nicky Nook delivers spectacular panoramic views across Lancashire countryside, the Lake District fells, Morecambe Bay and even (on a clear day) the Isle of Man. Fishing and open-water activities are available at places like Wyreside Lakes and Cleveley Mere; woodland and riverside walks are plentiful.

Garstang adds further attractions. The town is known as the first Fairtrade town, with a traditional market every Thursday bringing community life to the High Street. The Lancaster Canal passes through Garstang, offering towpath walks and opportunities to enjoy wildlife and riverside café culture. Family entertainment is not far off, from garden centre destinations with cafés and home décor, to heritage trails, local festivals, and scenic picnic spots such as Millennium Green in Garstang.
