Set within the desirable village of Slyne with Hest, this beautifully maintained detached true bungalow enjoys a well connected location just a short distance from Lancaster, the M6 and scenic coastal walks. Featuring a delightful natural garden extending to approximately 1/3 acre with an abundance of wildlife and offering a perfect blend of tranquillity and convenience.

The picturesque parish of Slyne with Hest is made up of Slyne and Hest Bank which are attached to one another. Located just 3 miles north of Lancaster, the village is known for its welcoming community, and offers a blend of the fabulous Morecambe bay coastal routes, beautiful countryside and urban convenience.

Excellent local amenities include St Luke’s Primary School, Ofsted rating Good; three well known pubs and a micro pub; a thriving Tennis Club, Village Hall, Village Store, Post Office, Pharmacy, Recreation Ground, and two Churches. Overall this is an ideal setting for those seeking a peaceful yet very well connected base.

Step inside the property and be welcomed by the bright and inviting entrance porch/sun room – a perfect suntrap and an ideal spot to sit back and relax. The home features a tasteful neutral décor and modern finishes throughout, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere. Continue into the well-proportioned living room, with an elegant bay window overlooking the front elevation and a focal fireplace, offering ample space to incorporate a dining area if desired.

A cream carpet flows throughout the property and leads into the inner hallway, which provides access to all rooms and includes loft access via a ladder. The loft space, complete with a Velux window, power, and lighting, offers excellent additional storage and potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The kitchen is well-appointed with classic cream shaker-style cabinetry, wood-effect worktops, and a range of integrated Bosch appliances including a hob, oven, extractor, integrated dish washer and fridge freezer. There’s also a one-and-a-half sink, complementary tiled splashback, and plumbing for a washing machine. Dual-aspect windows and a rear door allow natural light to flood in and provide access to the garden.

Adjoining the kitchen is a well-equipped garage, which houses the boiler and offers power and lighting – ideal for use as a workshop or, if preferred, could be converted to extend the kitchen and create a spacious kitchen-diner (subject to the necessary permissions).

The property offers three generously sized bedrooms, each presented as a blank canvas for personalisation. Bedroom one is located at the front of the home and features a bay window and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two, with patio doors opening onto the rear garden and a Stovax log-burning fire, could serve equally well as a formal dining room or second sitting area. Bedroom three comfortably accommodates a double bed, making it a flexible space to suit a variety of needs.

This property sits on a generous and well-positioned plot, surrounded by beautiful natural gardens that enhance the overall appeal of the home. On approach, a gated entrance opens to a spacious front garden, complete with a neatly kept lawn and colourful flower borders. A well-laid pathway surrounds the property, providing easy access and linking the front and rear gardens, with a gated side entrance adding further convenience.

Ample off-street parking is available on a large gravelled driveway, but the rear garden is the true highlight, ideal for keen gardeners. It features a variety of established planting, including fruit trees such as apple, plum, blackcurrant, and gooseberry, as well as mature Acers, Maples, and a rich mix of shrubs that provide interest throughout the seasons and attracting an abundance of wildlife.

The garden offers a range of spots to sit, relax, or entertain, including a dedicated patio area perfect for outdoor dining or enjoying the sun. Private and bordered by greenery, it provides a peaceful, secluded retreat from everyday life.

Tucked away at the bottom of the garden is a charming Cedar Wood Cabin, adding a versatile extra space-ideal as a reading nook, hobby room, or simply a quiet place to unwind and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
