5 bed detached house for sale

Burrow Heights Lane, Lancaster, Lancashire LA2

Rarely does the opportunity arise to acquire a home of such exceptional calibre as Burrow Cottage. This superb detached residence, nestled in idyllic countryside surroundings, offers the perfect blend of contemporary living and charming rural vistas. With extensive, beautifully landscaped gardens and a thoughtful design throughout, this property is perfectly proportioned to accommodate a large family home.

Upon entering, the double-height entrance hallway immediately impresses with its solid oak flooring and striking galleried landing. To the left, the formal lounge exudes warmth with its open fire, oak floors, and patio doors that lead onto a spacious entertainment patio—ideal for alfresco dining and gatherings.

At the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space. Double doors reveal this expansive area, featuring bespoke, hand-painted cabinetry, a large central island with a Corian worktop, integrated pantry cupboard, and high-end appliances, including a range cooker and space for an American-style fridge freezer. Bi-fold doors flood the room with light and provide seamless access to the outdoors, making this space both functional and inviting. Limestone flooring runs throughout, offering a sleek, easy-maintenance finish. Just off the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room with laundry facilities and a brand-new 2024 boiler. It should also be noted that there is underfloor heating throughout the property, on both floors.

The ground floor also hosts a home gym, a convenient downstairs WC, and a versatile home office/snug that could easily function as a formal dining room. Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a sociable yet cosy atmosphere with top-quality fixtures and finishes throughout.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four generous bedrooms, each offering stunning views of either the open fields or neighbouring countryside. A fifth single room has been expertly converted into a luxurious walk-in closet, featuring floor-to-ceiling hanging rails, ample storage, and a dressing table—every fashion lover’s dream. The master suite stands out with its dual-aspect views, private dressing room, and en-suite shower room, creating a retreat of pure luxury.

The family bathroom is equally stylish, boasting a four-piece suite that includes a freestanding contemporary stone resin bath, a walk-in double shower, WC, and floating hand basin. The master bedroom, main bathroom and dressing room are equipped with an integrated sound system, as are the entire ground floor rooms, and the ground floor living area features cinema-quality surround sound for an enhanced entertainment experience.

Outside, the garden is a haven for both relaxation and recreation. Expansive lawns offer plenty of space for outdoor activities, while a landscaped vegetable plot, hot tub area, and large patio provide the perfect spots for unwinding and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Sunsets are particularly stunning from the hot tub, and the property’s scenic rural views, especially during lambing season, only add to its unique charm.

The gated entry keeps Burrow Cottage private and secluded, and the gravelled driveway can easily accommodate five vehicles. The detached, stone garage doubles as storage and entertainment space - there is a cable/Sky connection point, and the current owners enjoy a game of pool on occasion. Being part of the friendly Burrow Lane community adds a real sense of connection and despite its tranquil setting, the property is perfectly located with easy access to the motorway and within close reach of Lancaster’s vibrant city centre, with its shops, restaurants, amenities, and theatre. Additionally, Lancaster University is close by, offering excellent sporting facilities to enjoy.

Burrow Cottage offers a rare blend of luxury, practicality, and rural beauty—truly a home where contemporary living meets countryside charm.
