About this property

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, yet located literally in the heart of the beautiful village of Hornby, this impressive detached residence offers the best of both worlds—peaceful, spacious living just steps from village amenities, scenic river walks, and historic Hornby Castle. Lancaster centre, including the well regarded grammar schools is also just a 20 minute drive away, making this an option for a wide variety of buyers.

This is a home that delivers on lifestyle and practicality. With generously proportioned rooms throughout and the ability to live comfortably on one level (if required), it’s an ideal option for buyers looking to future-proof their next move—whether that means being closer to shops, pubs, tearooms, and bus routes, or simply enjoying a rural pace of life without sacrificing convenience.

The ground floor layout is both flexible and functional. A stone-fronted entrance opens into a spacious living room, featuring stripped wooden flooring, a high-quality wood-burning stove, a charming bow-bay window, and a glazed door to the rear garden. From here, step into the breakfast kitchen, a sociable space with plenty of room to cook and entertain. An inner hallway leads to two additional rooms, currently used as a dining room and home office, but equally suited as ground-floor bedrooms. A stylishly appointed bathroom with four-piece suite including a large walk-in shower completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, you’ll find two enormous double bedrooms, both enjoying dual-aspect windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and offers wonderful views across the rooftops and surrounding greenery. A second bathroom on this level provides extra flexibility for family and guests. Completing this floor is another immaculate bathroom.

Outside, the home boasts a substantial garage and a large driveway with space for multiple vehicles—or even a motorhome or caravan. The property’s frontage showcases its historic charm, with the original stone façade of the Old Smithy still proudly on display.

With its unbeatable location, generous proportions, and adaptable layout, this is a truly rare find in a sought-after village. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or simply seeking a special home in a beautiful community, this property is not to be missed.
