Sitting within approximately one acre of mature gardens and private woodland, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion and tranquillity while remaining just moments from the amenities of the village.
A set of gateposts open onto a sweeping driveway with a turning circle that leads up to the property, providing ample parking along with a detached garage. From the moment you arrive, it is clear this home has been much loved and beautifully maintained by the current owners for over three decades. The landscaped grounds are a real highlight, with sweeping lawns, fruit trees, flowering shrubs and meandering woodland pathways that provide a serene and picturesque setting throughout the seasons.
The bungalow is entered via a welcoming porch leading into a spacious hallway that connects all the main rooms. To one side lie the bedrooms, while the opposite side of the home is dedicated to the living areas, offering a natural and practical flow. The accommodation includes three to four bedrooms and a home office, with one of the bedrooms currently used as a second sitting room and bar. The living room, kitchen, snug, utility and bar area are all well proportioned and filled with natural light, and as a true bungalow, the layout offers superb flexibility for reconfiguration or extension, subject to the necessary permissions. This allows the next owner to tailor the space to suit their lifestyle and vision.
Every window frames views of the surrounding gardens, and additional features such as a cold store and guest WC add to the home’s practicality. The gardens themselves are a true sanctuary, combining open lawned spaces with shaded woodland, well-established planting and secluded corners that invite you to relax and enjoy the peace of this idyllic setting. Whether enjoyed as a tranquil retreat or thoughtfully developed into a more contemporary home, the potential here is truly exceptional.
The location enhances the appeal even further. Churchtown is one of Lancashire’s most sought-after villages, known for its charming historic character, friendly community and peaceful rural atmosphere. Its pretty streets, open green spaces and period buildings create a timeless feel, while local events and nearby amenities ensure a welcoming and convenient lifestyle. Despite its tranquillity, Churchtown is perfectly placed for easy access to nearby towns and cities, making it ideal for those seeking both calm and connection. St. Helen’s Church, is a historic Anglican parish church, affectionately known as “The Cathedral of the Fylde”, a nickname that reflects both its impressive size and its architectural beauty compared to other rural churches in the region, mainly dating back to the 15th century, with some parts believed to date back to the 13th century.
Just a few minutes away lies the historic market town of Garstang, offering a vibrant mix of independent shops, traditional markets, cafes and restaurants, alongside excellent schools and essential services. The nearby village of Great Eccleston adds further convenience with local shops, pubs, and community events, all set within an attractive rural backdrop.
For those who enjoy the coast, the seaside towns of Lytham St Annes and Blackpool are within easy reach. Lytham offers elegant shopping streets, beautiful beaches, golf courses and relaxed dining, while Blackpool brings a blend of traditional seaside fun and modern leisure, from the iconic promenade to cultural attractions and family entertainment.
Within 45 minutes you can also reach Lancaster, Morecambe and the Lake District, each offering their own unique appeal—from Lancaster’s historic city charm to Morecambe’s sweeping coastal views and the breathtaking landscapes of the Lakes, ideal for walking, cycling and exploring nature.
Excellent motorway connections make travel and commuting straightforward, with easy access to the M6, M61 and M65, linking the region to Manchester, Liverpool, Preston and beyond.
This is a truly special opportunity to acquire a distinctive home set in outstanding grounds, offering both peace and potential in one of Lancashire’s most desirable locations.
