With ample outdoor space and scope to extend, subject to any necessary consents, this delightful period home presents a rare opportunity to create a long-term family residence in a highly desirable coastal location.

Crag Bank is a highly desirable coastal village location, situated on the edge of the stunning Morecambe Bay and offering an excellent balance of countryside charm and everyday convenience. Residents enjoy easy access to scenic coastal walks, open green spaces and breathtaking bay views, while a range of local shops, supermarkets, cafes and amenities can be found nearby in Carnforth. For commuters, the area is exceptionally well connected, with J35 of the M6 motorway just a short drive away and Carnforth railway station providing regular services to Lancaster, Manchester, Preston and connections to London Euston. Crag Bank offers an attractive lifestyle in a well-connected Lancashire setting. Families will be delighted with the great choice of highly rated local schools, both for primary and secondary school aged children and there is a popular preschool in the village. There is also the added benefit of the proximity to the coastal town of Morecambe that hosts a wide range of annual events and attractions for all the family, including the planned Eden Project. The historic city of Lancaster is also close by, with a wider range of shops, services and entertainment on offer.

We love the beautiful local walks along the coast, we’re a short drive from the fabulous shoreline at Morecambe Bay with the impressive promenade and one of Europe’s most important Nature Reserves, as well as RSPB Leighton Moss and the Nature Reserves at Warton Crag and Gait Barrows.

We benefit from a super local infrastructure, there’s a good selection of supermarkets, a GP surgery, a number of highly rated veterinary practices and convenient bus links to Lancaster and Kendal.

Crag Bank is very well connected by road via the A6 and M6 and by rail from Carnforth station with direct trains to Manchester Airport and over to Yorkshire.

From the moment of arrival, this delightful period home exudes charm and character. A pedestrian gate, framed by mature English ivy, opens onto a flagged pathway leading to the front door cased within railway sleepers, a fitting nod to the property's 1910 heritage. Passing by the beautifully scented lavender garden, centred around a blossom tree, the approach creates an inviting welcome.

Alternatively, access from the block-paved driveway and detached garage leads beneath a charming arched garden arbour, with steps rising through to the landscaped front garden of the house. Whichever route you choose, the approach perfectly sets the tone for this characterful and much-loved home.

The front door opens into a practical vestibule, where the original door remains proudly in place, complete with its traditional brass letterbox. Beyond is a spacious entrance hall where original terracotta floor tiles lie beneath the current flooring, offering the opportunity to reveal and showcase another piece of the property’s history. Useful understairs and cloaks cupboards provide practical storage, while throughout the property, the original Canadian pitch pine doors have been painstakingly restored by the current owner, preserving the character and craftsmanship synonymous with houses of this era.
