For those that know the oldest part of Heysham, this is a landmark residence, and whilst it enjoys all the benefits of being so central, it is also a remarkably quiet and private setting.

We’ve lived in Heysham all our married life, when Carr Garth became available, we jumped at the chance to live in such a beautiful property. It had been neglected and was in a sad way, in need of some TLC. We’ve undertaken a lot of work whilst we’ve been here and made it into a comfortable family home; it’s characterful and quirky and has a lovely atmosphere, very relaxed.

Quaint and characterful, the former fishing village of Heysham lies on a headland on the northwest coast, south of the seaside town of Morecambe. Connected to Morecambe by an exceptionally popular promenade, together they offer a magnificent sweep of coastline and bay, looking across to the Lakeland fells. West facing, it also boasts some of the most stunning sunsets around.

Local legend has it that St Patrick landed at Heysham after crossing from Ireland and established St Patrick’s Chapel, now sadly in ruins but together with the charming St Peter’s Church they are both worth visiting.

For day-to-day essentials there are branches of Tesco Express and the Co-op as well as a traditional butchers, all within walking distance (c.0.3 miles) at the parade of shops and services known as Strawberry Gardens.

For families, there are primary schools within walking distance with older children travelling by bus to a choice of secondary schools in Heysham, Morecambe and Lancaster. Heysham has a Primary Care Centre and pharmacy, with Morecambe and Lancaster providing a further selection of health and care services.

Heysham is for those that prefer a quiet life, sea air, walks along the coast and nature. When the bright light beckons, Morecambe has fun things for the family (building work for the Eden Project Morecambe is hoped to start soon) and nearby Lancaster is one of England’s Heritage Cities, a busy and vibrant city with a captivating past, a cultured present and a full calendar of festivals and celebratory events throughout the year. There’s a wide choice of bars and restaurants, a range of national and independent retailers and two universities. There are hospitals in Morecambe (NHS) and Lancaster (NHS and private).

Whether you travel for business or pleasure as a small village, Heysham is accessible. By road, the Bay Gateway links the village to the M6. There is a train station on the main west coast line at Lancaster with a connecting branch line station at Morecambe, furthermore, there are ferry services to the Isle of Man from Heysham Port.
