The hall has an understairs store cupboard and a cloakroom with a wash basin and loo. Step through into the welcoming sitting room where a media wall has a recess for your wall mounted TV and sound bar, beneath which is a long, low glass box housing the statement fireplace – don’t be fooled, it’s electric for maximum convenience at the flick of a switch. Either side of the fire are illuminated shelved recesses for stylish display. Spanning the back of the house is an inviting and sociable living kitchen with bi-folding doors out to the garden. There is room for a sofa or chairs in front of your wall mounted TV, space for a dining table and a breakfast bar which has room for three high level stools is fitted as part of the sleek kitchen which has silestone worktops. This is a room for cooking, eating and relaxing, all with a view out to the back garden, the bi-folds opening during warmer months to allow you to extend life out onto the deck. An equally smart and similarly fitted utility room connects the house with the garden and garage. Rising to the first floor and the main bedroom has a glamorous ensuite three piece shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, one of which has floor to ceiling mirror door wardrobes (available to purchase should you so wish) and is used as a dressing room. The fourth and final bedroom is a generous single room with a characterful dormer window. The contemporary house bathroom is well appointed and has a bath, separate shower, wash basin and loo.  The outdoor areas have been purposefully landscaped to require minimal upkeep but offer maximum enjoyment. The house is set back from the road by a hedged lawn garden. To the rear garden (gated and enclosed for children and dogs), a fabulous detached garden studio has been built; with a complete wall of bi-folding doors and kitchenette facilities with quartz worktops, this makes a super home office, guest suite or entertaining suite. On the deck is a bang-on trend outdoor kitchen with fitted slate worksurfaces having storage underneath and space to accommodate your own barbecue and pizza oven. The deck is so roomy there is plenty of space for a hot tub (available by separate negotiation). The deck is hard-wearing and no maintenance composite with inset LED lights and the grass is artificial so no need to mow!  In front of the integral single garage is a block paved driveway providing room to park two cars off road. Outside there is lighting (some on sensors), power points, a cold water tap and an EV charging point.  Location As a satellite village for the city of Lancaster, Halton is within the highly scenic Lune Valley and has a lot to offer, the beauty being that everything is within walking distance. There are a handful of local shops (a convenience store with Post Office and a butcher’s shop) as well as places to have a bite to eat or enjoy a drink (The Red Door Café, The Greyhound pub, a café at The Centre, the village Social Club and a Fish & Chips take away). In terms of services there is a doctor’s surgery and pharmacy, vehicle repair garage and playground. There’s lots going on in Halton, The Centre is the hub of village life with a community centre, café, playing field and skate park. Halton Mill is a business and arts centre which also hosts events and classes throughout the year and the village is home to historic St Wilfred’s Church. There is a primary school (St Wilfred’s CoE Primary School) in the village with children of secondary school age travelling into Lancaster where there are excellent grammar schools available.  Halton is a popular choice with those seeking the advantages of village life but in a location that is far from remote, indeed the accessibility of the village it a major plus point being only 1.5 miles (southbound) or 1.1 miles (northbound) from J34 of the M6. For those seeking the convenience of being able to pop into Lancaster for shopping and social events or the daily requirements of work or schooling, then the city centre is 3.6 miles distant. Lancaster is well connected and has a station on the main West Coast railway line as well as a Park and Ride facility just by J34 so it’s excellent for lift sharing either for work or days out. At Lancaster you’ll find the nearest hospitals (NHS and private) as well as the universities of both Lancaster and Cumbria.  Out of the village, the Lune Valley offers a great lifestyle with some fabulous country pubs and easy access to stunning open countryside, not only the valley itself with its undulating hills and footpath along the meandering River Lune, but the neighbouring Forest of Bowland AONB, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the nearby Lake District National Park, are all wonderfully convenient for days out. Just under 13 miles away is the Cumbrian market town of Kirkby Lonsdale which is popular as a destination with a great range of independent shops and some lovely cafes, pubs and restaurants.  The above journey distances are for approximate guidance only and have been sourced from the fastest route on the AA website from the property postcode.  Directions what3words foggy.jacket.flesh Use the postcode LA2 6FE on Sat Nav with reference to the directions below:  Driving into Halton from the south on Halton Road pass the church and The Red Door café, both on the left.
