2 bed cottage for sale

St. Michaels Lane, Bolton Le Sands, Carnforth LA5

Location

Welcome to St Michael’s Lane, situated in the desirable coastal village of Bolton-le-Sands. Just ten minutes north of both Lancaster and Morecambe, the area is surrounded by open countryside and offers excellent walking routes, including scenic trails along the salt marshes and coastal shore. The Lancaster Canal also runs nearby, providing a pleasant route to Carnforth or Hest Bank. The local primary school is highly regarded and, along with the village playground and playing fields, helps make the area particularly appealing to families and those with young children.

The village enjoys a strong sense of community, supported by a local cricket club, crown green bowls, and a community centre offering regular events. There are three restaurants in the village, along with two popular pubs and a well-known fish and chip shop. Day-to-day needs are well catered for with a Co-op store on the A6, and a Spar and Essar garage on the coastal road.

The Overview

This attractive stone-built semi-detached cottage offers a spacious and characterful interior, set behind a mature hedged garden with a generous front outlook and private off-street parking. The home benefits from period features throughout, with thick stone walls, exposed fireplaces and traditional flag flooring, while also offering scope for cosmetic improvement.

The accommodation begins with a useful entrance porch which opens into the main living room. This space features a large log-burning stove set into a deep stone fireplace, along with built-in shelving and a wide window overlooking the garden. To the rear, the kitchen diner has its own substantial log burner and exposed stone wall, along with shaker-style base units, a Belfast sink and tiled splashbacks. A separate utility room sits just beyond, providing additional storage, worksurface space, and access to a ground floor WC.

Upstairs, the main bedroom features full-width mirrored wardrobes and two windows bringing in good natural light. The second bedroom is also a double, and the three-piece bathroom is fully tiled, fitted with a corner bath and pedestal basin. Floorboards have been exposed upstairs, ready for new flooring.

The garden is enclosed and well-established, offering a paved patio, lawned area and colourful borders. A timber shed provides garden storage, and a gravelled driveway offers off-street parking. A small stone-walled forecourt leads to the front entrance.
