The room is open to the dual aspect dining area with good views to the rear garden and a connecting inner glass door to the kitchen which creates a layout with good circular flow. With integral NEFF appliances, the kitchen has extensive fitted SieMatic cabinets with timeless cream shaker style panel doors and Corian worktops which extend into a neat breakfast table. A glass door opens to the conservatory – a lovely addition to the rear elevation with space for seating and views and a door to the garden.

Both rooms have attractive square bay windows and useful fitted wardrobes. The shower room is fully tiled and has a large shower cubicle, a wash basin and loo. 

The front elevation faces north and has fabulous open views over the field opposite across which runs a footpath to The Cove and Arnside. The bungalow is sat in generous gardens; the south facing rear garden is lovely and private with glimpses of Morecambe Bay through the trees and a paved area with space for garden furniture. Both front and rear gardens are well stocked and established with flowering shrubs (there is a super collection of hydrangeas in both the front and back gardens), heathers and herbaceous plants. A gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles to the side of the property. It leads to a single detached garage.
