Upstairs, the first-floor landing is light-filled thanks to a well-placed skylight, and connects each room with an easy, natural flow. The extension has created a striking master bedroom, a peaceful retreat with impressive triangular windows that frame views across the garden and the adjoining woodland included within the grounds. It is a room that feels both unique and restful, enhanced by its own beautifully finished ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms are all comfortable doubles, each thoughtfully decorated and generous in proportion. One enjoys its own modern ensuite with a double shower, making it ideal for guests or older children. The family bathroom has been renovated with personality and style, featuring a statement bath, twin sinks, WC and a skylight above, allowing natural light to soften the space throughout the day.
Throughout the cottage, careful attention has been paid to storage and layout, ensuring the home works effortlessly for family life while never compromising on charm. Every room feels considered, warm and immaculately presented. North Tilery Cottage offers a rare blend of character, comfort and individuality. It is a home full of heart, perfect for a growing family seeking the peace of rural living, yet only a ten-minute drive from the centre of Lancaster. Here, countryside calm and everyday convenience sit comfortably side by side.
Let's Take A Closer Look At The Area - Quernmore is close to the city of Lancaster and sits within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Quernmore is around three miles from the bustling city of Lancaster and the wealth of amenities on offer and is within easy reach of the University of Lancaster, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Williamson Park and the Ashton Memorial. For the commuting professional both junctions 33 and 34 are easily accessible and there are some stunning countryside walks available both in Quernmore and the neighbouring villages in the Lune Valley and the Trough of Bowland.
Let's Step Outside - Externally, North Tilery Cottage is just as impressive as the accommodation within, occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.34 acres and enjoying a wonderfully private, rural backdrop. A substantial driveway provides parking for up to five vehicles, ideal for a busy household or visiting guests and leads to a detached garage complete with power and water supply, offering excellent practicality for storage, hobbies or workshop use. One of the true highlights of the grounds is the superb summer house. Currently styled as a fully functioning bar, complete with electricity and wiring for a television, it has been transformed into the ultimate entertaining space, a perfect “man cave” or equally an additional retreat for the whole family to enjoy. With a covered veranda to the front and lighting, it’s a space made for long summer evenings, relaxed drinks with friends, and hosting memorable gatherings whatever the occasion. The garden itself is mainly laid to lawn, providing an exceptional area for children to play freely and safely. To the rear of the garden, a private stretch of woodland, included within the title creates a magical natural backdrop and a real sense of escape. There is also a dedicated wood store and a septic tank system in place, in keeping with the home’s countryside setting.
Altogether, the outside space offers versatility, privacy and a wonderful lifestyle opportunity blending practical features with areas designed purely for enjoyment. It’s a setting that truly embraces outdoor living, surrounded by nature and with ample room for both entertaining and everyday family life.
