8 Kents Bank House, Kentsford Road, Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria, LA11 7BB

Description 8 Kents Bank House is a super property with more of a detached Bungalow feel than an Apartment! It has no neighbours above or below so almost feels detached. The current vendors renovated the property in 2017 and have created a most attractive, well presented property with neutral decor throughout and modern kitchen and bathroom fittings. Currently a very successful holiday let (figures available upon request), 8 Kents Bank House will appeal to the Investor market, the down-sizers, lock up and leavers or perhaps a young family.

Steps lead up to the wooden front door, from here stairs lead into the Dining Area. The floor throughout the Dining Area, Kitchen and Hall is a very attractive wood effect ceramic tile. The Dining Area has a side window (planning permission is in place to change to a patio door with direct access to the Garden if required) and 'Velux' roof window. Open to the Kitchen which is furnished with lovely, shaker style wall and base cabinets in a soft duck egg blue with contrasting grey work surface and inset sink. Integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. Built in 'Neff' appliances include oven, ceramic hob and microwave.

The Lounge is an impressive room with charming, twin, multi-pane sash windows providing delightful views over the communal grounds and towards Morecambe Bay in between trees. This is a lovely room bathed in natural light with cosy electric fire focal point.

The Hallway leads to the 3 Bedrooms, 2 Double Bedrooms both with side aspects (2 with fitted bedroom furniture) and the Master Bedroom, a well proportioned Double room with pleasant aspect into the communal Front Garden with glimpses of Morecambe Bay in the distance.
