An exciting opportunity to own a dream home is about to become a reality.

A spectacularly-sized, five-bedroom house on Hawcoat Lane in Barrow that is oozing with character and charm will soon be on the market.

The grand exterior to the front of the house has a striking black door and window frames with contrasting white accents and ledges – a nod to the battle of traditional and modern that awaits those who go inside.

The property has a number of original features throughout, giving those who purchase the house the perfect opportunity to blend the traditional character of the home with modern features.

The home would suit those looking for a unique space for hosting family and friends in a place where design is sure to become a talking point, from the glowing, golden hallway and beautiful chandelier to the stained glass windows.

Privacy for the household is kept through fantastically-sized private gardens, fit for anyone with a green thumb who’d like to take on a challenge. The large garden means there’s plenty of room for everyone in the family to run about, tend to the plants or simply relax without tripping over toes.
