Levenside

About this property

Levenside sits in the heart of Garstang, a historic market town known for its independent shops, riverside walks and welcoming community feel. This semi-detached retreat offers a comfortable base for couples or smaller families who want a place to unwind while having plenty to explore right on the doorstep. Step inside and you’ll find a well-designed kitchen/diner with everything you need for home cooking, whether you’re putting together breakfast before heading out or settling in for an easy supper after a full day of exploring. The sitting room offers a warm, relaxed space to slow down in the evenings, with a woodburning stove adding that classic touch that makes a chilly night feel rather special.

Upstairs there are two well-presented bedrooms; a master king size room with sleigh bed and smaller second  room which can be set up as either a twin or king size (zip and link beds). The bedrooms provide peaceful places to recharge, both offering a calm style that suits the property’s traditional character. A bright bathroom with a bath and overhead shower serves the floor, giving you the choice between a quick freshen-up or a long soak. Outside, the enclosed patio is ideal for enjoying a meal in the open air or simply taking a breather with a cup of tea. With off-road parking for one car, you can come and go with ease, though many of Garstang’s highlights are right on the doorstep.

There are  local shops, pubs, bars and restaurants less than 200m and the town’s riverside and canal  pathways easily accessible, which are perfect for a gentle afternoon wander. For days out, you’re well placed. Lancaster and the Trough of Bowland are easily reached by car and offers plenty to get stuck into, from its imposing castle to its lively arts scene and historic streets. The beautiful Lake district national Park is accessible within a 50 minutes drive. Blackpool brings traditional seaside attractions, bright lights and a bit of nostalgic fun, while Morecambe’s sweeping coastline gives you wide-open views and bracing sea air.

If you’re keen on walking, cycling or simply taking things at your own pace, the surrounding countryside offers no shortage of routes and vistas. Levenside promises a relaxed, super-located stay in a town that makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

Garstang is a small town within the Wyre Borough of Lancashire, famous for declaring itself the world's first Fairtrade town. Known locally for its tasty home-grown produce, this small town offers a warm welcome and a wealth of specialist and individual shops where you can pick up a number of treats; don't miss the local cheesemongers for a wedge of fine Lancashire cheese! The street market is held every Thursday, another exciting shopping treat. Running right through the centre of the town is the peaceful Lancaster Canal, where you can watch the passing canal boats cruise by and enjoy the abundance of wildlife it supports. The nearby Millennium Green, an area situated on the western bank of the River Wyre, has actually been designated for wildlife conservation and events in the community. Admire the views over the Bowland Hills before enjoying a visit to the High Street, where you will find plenty of pubs, cafes, and restaurants in which you can enjoy the local hospitality, or visit the Braedens Pony Trekking Centre, which makes for great family days out. The surrounding countryside provides great walking opportunities, whilst the rspb nature reserves at Leighton Moss and Morecambe Bay are well worth a visit. The Trough of Bowland is nearby, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the many varied delights of Blackpool and Morecambe, as well as the towns of Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale, Kendal and Windermere and the stunning Lake District National Park are all within easy reach, making this a great destination for all the family.
