Location

The village of Aughton is in many ways a hidden gem. It combines a peaceful rural paradise complete with Lune Valley views and great accessibility. There is a junction to the bypass just south of the village of Halton connecting to the M6, meaning Lancaster, Morecambe or Heysham are within minutes making the village is perfect for commuters. Meet the mainline train station at Lancaster and you can be in the centre of London within a few hours. The Lakes are just a short drive north or the Yorkshire Dales so whether you are travelling for work, school for pleasure it is all close by. On the doorstep a short walk down hill takes you to the river, great for walks or canoeing. There are local primary schools and great access into Lancaster with several popular secondary schools including the grammars. Options to the north include QES and Sedbergh.

Aughton Old Hall

Built in 1670 and Grade II listed Aughton Old Hall has had a full renovation in recent years but you will find the character fully intact. A spa style en-suite to the master and a modern bathroom with free standing slipper bath complement perfectly with high open ceilings and exposed beams. The flagged floor in the kitchen is polished and the cream Aga (electric) matches the country style kitchen with Belfast style sink, stable door and French Doors opening to the garden. There's plenty of space for the kitchen table giving this split level kitchen a real 'Heart of the Home' feel. Lily of The Valley, Roses, Hellebores and climbing clematis create the perfect country garden. The main house has an entrance porch and two front reception rooms to either side. The living room has a solid fuel cast iron stove which is connected to the heating system. The combination of solar, solid fuel and oil make the heating both versatile and economical. The snug to the side has another stove in striking ceramic red. It's a perfect place for cosy winter evenings. At the rear the split level kitchen with dining area occupies the space and there is a ground floor cloakroom/WC. Upstairs you will find three double bedrooms and the bathroom. The master bedroom has an en-suite and the high vaulted ceilings create a real sense of space and light. The views to the front are simply idyllic and with window seats below you can sit and really breathe them in. The Annex is perfect for visiting family, teenagers or a granny annex. There is open plan living to the first floor and a large double bedroom with en-suite shower room to the ground floor. Across the courtyard at the front an outhouse has become a studio and offers a multitude of potential uses. There is side by side parking in the rear courtyard and finally that beautiful garden extends to the rear and sides creating the perfect back drop.
