This attractive cottage is located on the seafront of Cockerham Sands, a

rich heritage site of the former Cockersand Abbey, offering panoramic

views over the bay to Sunderland Point and reaching as far as The Lake

District Fells and Blackpool Tower on a clear day. The views are undeniably

breathtaking but the property also boasts a sizeable plot with lovely gardens

that back onto rolling countryside, looking out over the Forest of Bowland,

so this really is a picture perfect setting. The property has been in the

same ownership for 65 years and whilst in need of some modernisation

to suit, it has been immaculately maintained. Set across one fl oor, the

accommodation is versatile and suited to that of both families and those

looking for a peaceful retirement retreat. At present, there are three

reception rooms, a large breakfast kitchen, three bedrooms and a family

bathroom. Each of the rooms offers unique aspects whether it be over

the sea, countryside or immaculate gardens. There is also ample storage

space found across the property and a sizeable part-boarded loft.


Situated between Cockerham and Thurnham on the fronts of Cockerham

Sands, Crook Cottage enjoys a peaceful rural location set along the seafront.

There are a selection of countryside walks to be enjoyed right from your

doorstep and this area is a popular location for windsurfers. Despite the

seemingly secluded setting, the popular village of Glasson Dock is just 3

miles away and 2 miles to the A588 leading into Lancaster. A range of

local amenities, including a supermarket, can be found in Scotforth, an

approximate 15 minute drive away.

Approached along a private road stretching along the seafront, the gravelled

drive of Crook Cottage leads down to the sheltered lower gardens offering

plenty of parking and access into a large garage. Steps lead up to the side

patio, with an entrance into the sunny garden room. Fitted by Everest, this

is a lovely reception space to sit in and enjoy the lovely garden aspect.

Next you lead into the family sized breakfast kitchen offering generous

proportions and a range of units extending into a breakfast bar. A picture

window over the sink offers beautiful views over the rear, stretching across

the opening countryside to the Trough of Bowland. There is also a large

walk-in storage cupboard perfect for storing coats and shoes.


The homely sitting room is centred around the large Efel stove. Set within

a copper plated fireplace with a wooden surround and tiled hearth, it

creates a cosy atmosphere in the winter months. The aspect to the side

offers views over the bay to Sunderland Point and The Lake District on a

clear day. Double doors open into the dining room, a later dated extension

that continues into the lounge. The dining room offers ample space for

formal dining furniture and a lovely garden aspect. There is also access into

the storage cupboard of the kitchen and into the garden room. The lounge

is a versatile space, currently utilised as a more formal reception space, it

would also make for a sizeable master bedroom. A large picture window

gives an uninterrupted, panoramic view over the front of Morecambe Bay.

During the day the views stretch to the distant Lake District Fells, to Barrow

and Piel Island, across to Blackpool Tower and in the evening a number of

lighthouses can be seen shining across the sea.

From the sitting room there is access into a double bedroom with rear

views and the family bathroom briefly comprising a bath with electric

shower over and separate double walk in electric shower. An inner hall

within the original portion of the house passes a large storage cupboard

and leads into a single bedroom and the present master bedroom, both

boasting sea views.


The brick walled driveway leads down to the hidden and sheltered garden

of Crook Cottage. This beautiful and well kept garden is a haven for the

local wildlife and has been planted with a selection of seasonal fl owering

shrubs and plants for a lovely aspect all year round, with iris, foxgloves and

oriental poppies to name a few. A patio to the top leads to a lovely seating

area looking down over the lawn and rolling countryside beyond; a great

place to watch the sunrise. The lawn extends down past an oriental fi sh

pond with waterfall feature to the sheltered lower garden. Keen gardeners

and families will be delighted with the space and selection of productive

apple and damson trees and soft fruit bushes. There is a useful hidden

compost area and cold frames. The large detached garage benefi ts from

an electric operated roller door and there is ample space for private

parking.
