House For Sale £700,000
A property with a rich and fascinating history combined with an abundance of internal space and fabulous views. Built in 1865 and originally owned by Francis John Crossfield, the youngest son of John Crossfield. The Crossfield's were a well known boat building family residing in Arnside for many years. The property has also served as a hotel in the 1920's and has been a much loved family home since. Offering accommodation over three floors, the ground floor rooms are impressive in size and offer two separate living rooms, a dining room, a well equipped and spacious kitchen and a must have for every home - a ground floor cloakroom. The first floor currently has 4 bedrooms, a large dressing room and a bathroom while the second floor has 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property could be used a number of different ways, it could be a large family home with ample space for family and friends to stay over, it could be split up with self contained annexes or used as a B&B. Externally the front garden is laid part to lawn on one side and part raised and established flower beds. The wow factor that sets this property apart are the elevated views to the viaduct and estuary beyond and the garden provides the ideal place to sit, relax and soak in these beautiful surroundings with an abundance of different places to sit and take in these views. Mature trees are dotted around and soften the garden and a pathway leads up and round to one side of the property which is low maintenance and offers room for a shed or two for storage and a further place to sit and relax. A further 'walled' garden is located to the other side of the home and provides a secluded space for al fresco dining or entertaining. Arnside is a sought-after village and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a variety of amenities including: The famous 'Arnside Chip Shop', 2 grocery stores - one being 30 seconds walk away, a doctors surgery, pharmacy, a primary school, 2 pubs and a variety of coffee shops. There are good transport links from the village with a train station (with access to Lancaster, Manchester, Manchester Airport and the West coast). There is a bus service and the M6 motorway 15 minutes away. The village has a vibrant community with several local groups/societies, play groups, crown green bowling, tennis courts, a popular sailing club and both a football and cricket club.
