The Property
Cranewood is an exceptional contemporary residence, nestled on a private road in the idyllic village of Ashton with Stodday, just outside of Lancaster City Centre. Offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, this property perfectly fuses modern luxury with countryside tranquility. Meticulously designed and upgraded by the current owner, this home features high-end fittings throughout, including an eco-friendly Air Source Heat Pump and an Electric Vehicle Charging Point.

The house’s impressive stonework and rendered exterior are perfectly complemented by its welcoming interior, starting with a spacious, beautifully lit entrance hall which flows into a series of carefully designed ground-floor rooms. First, enter through glass doors to an exquisitely appointed lounge, complete with a multi-fuel stove set in a stone surround, and offering three large picture windows, framing views of the gardens and beyond. This fabulous room, tucked away from the busier parts of the home, offers a serene retreat, perfect for relaxation.

The centrepiece of the home is the German-engineered kitchen, featuring a central island with a breakfast bar and sleek glass ceiling-mounted extractor. Miele appliances include two ovens, one with dual control as a microwave, a warming drawer, induction hob, tall larder fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a Quooker tap for instant hot water. This state-of-the-art kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, where sliding doors open onto the outdoor terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The adjoining sun lounge, with floor-to-ceiling windows, further enhances the light-filled, open-plan feel and leads to a lower terrace that extends the outdoor living space. A versatile ground-floor bedroom has its own private entrance and an ensuite bathroom, making it ideal for guests or perhaps a work-from-home space. The utility room on this floor houses the Air Source Heat Pump control panel, hot water cylinder, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs, the Principal Bedroom Suite is an elegant space designed for luxury living. A glazed door opens onto a private balcony that overlooks the scenic countryside and the nearby Lancaster Golf Club. This suite also features a fully fitted dressing room and a sumptuous ensuite shower room with Villeroy & Boch sanitary-ware, including a spa bath, a walk-in shower, a washbasin set in a stylish unit, and underfloor heating for added comfort. The first floor also accommodates four additional spacious double bedrooms, each designed with comfort and style in mind. A separate shower room, WC, and family bathroom (en-suite to the fifth bedroom), complete the upper level, making it a superb guest suite.

Externally
The property benefits from a double garage with an electric door and a large tarmacadam driveway leading to ample parking areas. The outdoor space is truly a highlight, thoughtfully designed for entertaining and relaxation. Two large terraces provide plenty of room for seating, while the outdoor TV, bar, and glazed pavilion offer the perfect setup for social gatherings or quiet evenings watching the sunset. Additional features include a log store, wooden shed, and a private bin area, all blending seamlessly with the landscape. While Cranewood is set in a peaceful and private location, it’s just a short drive from Lancaster, offering access to excellent schools and Lancaster University, with transport links into the city only a one minute walk down the lane.
