Within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Lake District, rural Churchtown lies between the cities of Preston, Lancaster and Blackpool. Lavender Cottage guarantees a fantastic break for a family up to four. Venture inside the property and feel the heat emanating from the toasty warm woodburning stove in the living/dining room before settling down to restful tranquillity or a cosy time in front of the TV. Pass by the original beams to the kitchen, a space enjoying solid wood fittings, where a wealth of appliances can be found to whip up a delectable meal. After a long enjoyable day out exploring remember the washing and drying facilities in the utility room if required. Climbing the wooden stairs, you will find two thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, with one hosting a double bed and the other home to a large bunk bed.
