Delightful period property in Halton-with-Aughton near Lancaster has wealth of original features with four bedrooms and large grounds that contain a paddock, outbuildings and a stream

Original features include mullioned windows, window gables and octagonal caps to chimney flues with an amazing silhouette formed with the help of six identical castellated piers.

The property is approached via an imposing shared driveway from its former gate house.

The interior of Orchard House is as striking as the exterior with an arched front door opening to a galleried entrance hallway.

The magnificent drawing room has a box bay window with shutters, ornate ceiling mouldings with central rose and a feature fireplace.

The dining room is just as impressive with oak panelling from the famed Gillows family, plus a brick-set fireplace.

The ground floor also contains a kitchen and delightful garden room.

On the first floor the landing is spacious enough to provide an additional seating area while doors lead to a master bedroom and three further large double bedrooms, each with a period fireplace.

All are served by two bathrooms and a shower room.

Externally, the large plot contains outbuildings and a paddock.
