Upstairs open countryside views stretch to distant hills and there are three double bedrooms, including a super principal room with views three ways. There are two attractively appointed shower rooms, one on each floor.

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Lune Valley hamlet of Claughton there are well-maintained gardens around the house including generous parking and an attached double garage. Readily accessible walks along the River Lune complete this appealing and well-served property that’s easy to reach by road and rail with local shops and services in neighbouring villages.

We’ve enjoyed life here as a family; it’s been a happy home for us. It’s a lovely house for entertaining, both the space inside and in the garden too. It’s easy to run too, which is always an advantage.

Claughton is a charming rural hamlet set in the heart of the sought-after Lune Valley, offering an ideal balance between peaceful country living and excellent connectivity. This is a location perfectly suited to those who value a quieter pace of life without feeling remote.

Despite its tranquil setting, Claughton is exceptionally well placed for work, schools, leisure and socialising. The popular market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and the historic city of Lancaster are both within easy reach, while M6 access is convenient at J34. Rail services are available nearby from Wennington (Morecambe to Leeds line) or Lancaster (main west coast line), together offering national connections.

Claughton itself benefits from a welcoming local pub, The Fenwick, within an easy stroll at the top of the lane along with a country store and garden centre just a short drive away. With everyday amenities and shopping, the neighbouring villages of Hornby and Caton make Claughton a highly appealing base for modern rural living.

It’s a quiet place to live, we’ve enjoyed being surrounded by the countryside, watching the seasons change. The next-door farmers have been great neighbours to us; incredibly helpful and their eggs are delicious!
