Location
As the address suggests Number 88 Main Street is situated in the heart of the village of Warton. Warton Crag is close by, great for walkers and close by, to the rear of the house you will find the allotments, great for keen gardeners! The village has a great history and is the famous birthplace of George Washington's ancestor, Lawrence. The village church, St Oswald's (a very impressive building itself) flies \"The Stars and Stripes\" every fourth of July and the flag it flies once flew above Capitol Building, Washington. The village is quiet and peaceful but has pubs and a Post Office. There's also active clubs in the Ladies's Club, Men's Club, Gardeners Club and, of course, the Cricket Club which was established in 1907. Close by is neighbouring Carnforth with train station, popular schools and plenty of shops both large and small. Warton is a great base with Lancaster a short trip south and Kendal a short trip north. The M6 is also convenient for commuting.
The Summary
Pine Cottage, 88 Main Street, is a traditional stone built semi detached built in 1867. The builder built two houses for his two daughters and the daughter at Pine Cottage loved her house so much she lived her all her life. Five years ago the current owners began their renovation of the property and the home that greets you today is a true credit to their attention to detail. Extended to the rear with French Doors opening onto a paved courtyard the property is bright, modern and generous. A soft, neutral colour scheme works throughout to highlight and complement the traditional features such as the exposed stone fireplace.
