The views are just as fabulous from the terrace and gardens as they are from the house, with the adjacent countryside framing vistas as far as the coast and the Lake District.

This is a home in which to lose yourself, an escape where you can stand in the gardens and breathe the sustaining elixir of the great outdoors, this is a home for a family to discover joy and contentment, to spend time together by open fires and run free in its plentiful rooms, it’s a home to wake to the golden dawn light and to stare out at the dreamy sunsets from its historic rooms, this is a home that evokes thoughts of yesteryear and a home where new memories are waiting to be made. Simply put, ’The Dawn’ is a home in every sense of the word, - it’s your own piece of Lancastrian history... wake up every morning and think, “what went right?"
