Here's an ideal family home extended to provide the contemporary open-plan dining kitchen that today's buyers are looking for, along with a spacious and high-spec bathroom.

The semi-detached property, which has been well-maintained, is in the centre of a charming village and is offered for sale with the benefit of good-sized gardens, off-road parking for several cars and an integral garage.

The living room is flooded with light from a large window overlooking the long front garden and warmed by a living flame gas fire in a polished stone hearth and wooden surround.

The adjacent kitchen diner, an excellent space at more than 16ft by 15ft, has country-style cream wall and floor units with attractive splashbacks enhanced by quality integral Bosch appliances of a five-ring gas hob with extractor, double oven and dishwasher.

There is a breakfast bar and the dining area, which offers ample space for a table, has several points of access - a door from the hallway, a door into the garage and French doors opening out to the back garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing, which is illuminated by a side window, has a loft hatch and doors to the three bedrooms and bathroom.

The bedrooms are configured as two doubles, one at the front of the property and the other at the rear, along with a front-facing single.

The extended family bathroom has a white four-piece suite featuring a whirlpool bath, separate shower cubicle, fitted mirrors and a ladder towel rail.

The integral garage is plumbed for a washing machine and has power, light and up-and-over doors.

The low-maintenance front garden has a long driveway with parking for several cars plus scope to add extra capacity if needed.

The enclosed back garden has a lawn, raised seating deck and a path leading to a patio seating area.

The house in Trinity Drive, Holme, near Carnforth, is for sale at £240,000 from Arnold Greenwood, tel. 01539 733383.
