West View, High Street, Burton In Lonsdale, Carnforth, LA6 3JP - Matthews Benjamin

West View enjoys an enviable setting in the heart of the thriving village of Burton in Lonsdale, where a strong sense of community meets some of the North’s most picturesque countryside. Nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and surrounded by beautiful walking and cycling routes, the village offers the perfect balance for a rural lifestyle: the shop and pub are both community owned, there are great sports facilities and easy access to the transport network and larger market towns; all combining to create a lifestyle that is both well-served and welcoming.

At the heart of this charming characterful property is a sociable living kitchen, where a breathtaking view of Ingleborough, one of Yorkshire’s most iconic landmarks, forms the backdrop with defined but connected areas for cooking, dining and seating. A series of five distinctive reception rooms provide flexibility for entertaining, home working and relaxation, while five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms provide room to spread out and accommodate overnight guests. At every opportunity, original period features blend effortlessly with modern comforts, creating a home of appealing warmth, character and flexibility ready to adapt as modern family life evolves.

Outside, the west-facing garden is a true highlight. Graced by uninterrupted views of Ingleborough, it offers space for children to play, family and friends to gather and dogs to explore. In all, c.0.33 acre.

With our three children all grown up, we feel it is time to step aside and provide another family with the opportunity to explore, grow and develop within this wonderful home and setting. It is a very special, happy place to live.

Rarely does a location combine such a strong sense of community and idyllic countryside surroundings with easy access to major road and rail networks, allowing residents to enjoy village life without compromising on work or social connectivity.

Tucked into the hillside above the River Greta, the Conservation Area of Burton in Lonsdale nestles on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. A picturesque and sought after village referred to as both “the first and last village in Yorkshire”, it offers what many villages don’t these days, a village shop with part time Post Office and a pub, both of which are community owned, a busy village hall and great sports facilities, all of which are valuable resources for the thriving local community.

For those who enjoy getting out and about in the great outdoors, Burton in Lonsdale is perfectly positioned to discover the spectacular landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and nearby Lake District. Excellent walking, cycling and riding routes can be enjoyed directly from the doorstep.

Despite its relatively rural setting, the village is well connected. The market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle and Ingleton are all within easy reach, offering a wider range of shops, cafés, restaurants and services. Access to the road network (particularly the M6 motorway and A65), is combined with local railway stations to offer convenient access to many larger towns and cities making this a viable location for commuters seeking a village lifestyle.

I never tire of walking from the village shop towards the house and seeing Ingleborough rise up majestically behind our home. It is a privilege to live in such close proximity to its beauty and grandeur.

West View is a wonderful place for dogs and children alike with great opportunities for outdoor adventure: climbing hills, exploring the Lakes, kayaking, ghyll scrambling, sailing, abseiling, caving. The proximity to the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales means there is always a new challenge waiting, and a new spectacular view to take your breath away.

Believed to date back to the mid-1700s and full of character and period features, West View offers an attractive range of beautifully proportioned rooms, thoughtfully arranged to provide both versatility and comfort for modern living whether you have a growing family to house, or are a couple looking to embrace space for home working, hobbies or entertaining.

What makes West View unique is the preservation of its original period features which are present throughout. Wide pitch pine floorboards, wall panelling, traditional panelled doors, window seats and period shutters, exposed beams and stonework, working and feature fireplaces, period cupboards, original wash basins and an enchanting assortment of nooks and crannies, collectively all emphasise the house’s period credentials and create a home of exceptional warmth, character and enduring appeal. Modern conveniences sit alongside these features and ensure that it’s also a practical and comfortable house to occupy and manage for modern life.
