About
Dorchester Road is a well-established residential location offering an excellent balance between town-centre convenience, family living and access to the Lancashire countryside.
Garstang’s historic High Street, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and regular markets are all within easy reach, while everyday shopping is particularly convenient with Booths, Sainsbury's and ALDI nearby.
For families, the location is especially appealing.
Garstang Community Primary School and Garstang St Thomas C of E Primary School are both close by, with Garstang Community Academy also within easy reach.
The road is also well positioned for commuters, with convenient routes towards Preston, Lancaster and the M6, while still enjoying the more relaxed feel of a traditional market town.
For leisure, the Lancaster Canal, countryside walks and the wider Forest of Bowland area provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Why we like it: Dorchester Road gives buyers the opportunity to live close enough to Garstang to enjoy the town on foot, while retaining the feel of an established residential setting.
With schools, shops, countryside and transport connections all nearby, it is a location that can work equally well for families, professionals and those looking to settle in Garstang long term.
