Nestled in the heart of the village of Overton is this charming three bedroom barn conversion. Formerly

the barn to the local farmstead, the original building is believed to date back to the 1700s and was

converted into a lovely family home in 1986. With the picturesque setting and good connectivity to

nearby Lancaster city and further afield the property makes for a great lock up and leave. Parts of the

property have been recently modernised by the current owner including new bathrooms and underfloor

heating in the cosy dining kitchen. There are a total of three double bedrooms on the first floor, of which

one benefits from an ensuite WC, and a contemporary house bathroom. The neat flagged stone

courtyard to the side of the property is the ideal spot to enjoy the setting and proves low maintenance.

This could also be utilised for parking if required.

The picturesque village of Overton is perfect for those looking for convenient access whilst not

compromising on the village idyll. With an abundance of scenic walks right on your doorstep, the village

also benefits from a primary school, village hall, church and a pub, whilst nearby Heysham provides a

wealth of practical everyday amenities. Both Morecambe and Lancaster are within 5 miles and the new

Bay Gateway provides quick access to the M6.
