Surrounded by the local countryside, offering an uninterrupted view to the Lune estuary, this beautiful 5 bed detached family home offers light and airy accommodation that includes a modern dining kitchen and four separate reception rooms. Originally built in 1887, West Lodge was initially occupied by one of the agricultural labourers on the estate, later becoming the residence for the gardener. The property was sold for the fi rst time in 1954 and has since been extended in various stages to include the more recent extension of the garden room and beautiful ensuite master bedroom that offers the greatest view of the sunsets over the Lune estuary. The property has been within the same family for nearly 45 years and has been immaculately maintained and updated during this time. The surrounding gardens are surprisingly generous, offering a fantastic space for families to enjoy, complete with a large vegetable plot, various fruit trees and bushes and a lovely neat lawn that looks out over the rolling countryside beyond. There is also a private drive with parking and access to the detached double garage. 88462662-print-Pages.indd462662-print-Pages.indd 3 226/04/20216/04/2021 110:56:050:56:05 88462662-print-Pages.indd462662-print-Pages.indd 4 226/04/20216/04/2021 110:56:060:56:06 Aldcliffe is a popular hamlet located on the East banks of the River Lune, boasting a beautiful countryside setting that is surprisingly only 1.5 miles to Lancaster City Centre.
