Outdoors

Garden

The garden faces east and catches the morning and afternoon sun. It backs onto half a mile of gardens and so is very tranquil and bright. The small patio has a BBQ and there is a garden table and chairs. 

Colour comes from various plants in the rockery, large pots with perennials and variegated bushes and garden flowers. It is a lovely setting to enjoy sitting out with others or enjoying a quiet coffee.

The grass lawn, small trees and plantings provide an enclosed, green and tranquil spot.

Parking

The drive will park two modest sized cars with the gate open. The driveway does taper, so care is required.

Roadside parking is almost always available immediately outside the house. This suits larger cars / people carriers.

Around the house there is roadside parking, please do avoid parking outside of our neighbours' houses if at all possible. The accommodation is community based and it is understandably tiresome for them if they lose their routine spot.

We strongly encourage larger or commercial vehicles to park 100 metres away in Sainsbury's car park (for a small fee). This prevents disruption to local parking norms.

7.2kWh EV Charging

Complimentary EV charging on off-peak Octopus GO is available between 00:30 and 05:30 during your stay.

7.2 kWh x 5 hours = approx 37 kWh (120 miles)

You need to request so we can open the schedule and help with a test charge prior.

Testing requires your car connected and your attendance. Remotely we will confirm the charger and car settings are working.

We do not guarantee charging, but after a successful test charge it rarely fails.

The  7.2kWh EO charger is untethered (please bring your own Type 2 cable).

Local Chargers

If you require an urgent standard rate charge, a faster charge rate, or to fill large batteries then we can quote or direct you to other local chargers, including our own 22 kWh charger within a mile which is just 20p kWh for 6 hours off peak.

The House

Beautifully developed and maintained

Lathom, our former family home, has been a rental since 2012.

Since constructed in the 1930's, the internal layout has seen change, including a double dormer loft conversion, removal of a chimney, bead cavity wall and internal insulation, space efficient radiators, oak flooring, new boilers, wood burning stove and more lately conversion of the small single bedroom into a modern shower bathroom.

We didn't plan this when the house was initially chosen. We were drawn to the strategic location, parking, south side-wall aspect, attractive garden size, views to Lancaster over half a mile of mature rear gardens and open aspect at the front which looks up the side road.

The house still retains its charm - warm, private, cozy, spacious, light and airy, quiet, in a lovely neighbourhood with excellent road links to the Promenade, M6 and Heysham.
