Blue Ridge, set just off the main road between Windermere and Bowness, offers a bright and homely open-plan living space, three good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, an integral garage and a huge wraparound garden.

It is a beautiful home that is move-in ready but also offers an abundance of potential, with a chance to update fixtures and fittings, as well as the spacious garden allowing for plenty of scope to extend the current footprint. Get paper and pencil to start planning that dream family home!

From Windermere, head along the main road towards Bowness before turning left, just after the pedestrian crossing, onto the sweeping driveway with ample parking for three cars in front of the traditional Lakeland stone-built home dressed in crisp white render beneath a slate roof.

Set over two floors, this true bungalow is picture-perfect with a quaint cottage feel, creating a homely vibe from the first glimpse. Mature beech hedges hide the home from the road, encasing it in its own world.

Take the Lakeland stone steps up to the front door, where a small patio lies, and enter the home into the most useful vestibule. With access to the garage, garden and home, this is a convenient spot to hang up coats and doff your shoes and boots after muddy walks in the fells.

The large garage provides handy storage for gardening equipment, bikes, sporting goods and additional pantry items.

Making your way into the open-plan living space, be drawn forward into the capacious L-shaped room where cooking, relaxing and eating can be enjoyed in this heart of the home. Brilliantly bright and airy, large windows let the light flood in from all sides, and a door takes you out onto the patio to the far end of the room. Laminated flooring throughout is effortlessly low maintenance in this busy thoroughfare, yet sumptuous soft furnishings allow for cosy spots to hunker down.

Plenty of navy blue and white cabinetry provides places to store pots, pans, china and glassware in addition to there being spaces for a dishwasher, washing machine and a large American-style fridge freezer - this kitchen has room for everything you need.

A log burner takes centre stage between the kitchen and dining table, continuing the cosy vibes. Lush dark green walls define the lounge giving gorgeous views overlooking the garden. Spend time together after busy days at work and school, watching some family classics.

Blue Ridge is cosy and feels very family-orientated, yet large gatherings and family celebrations will not be out of place in this spacious set-up.

Take the full-height glazed and steel door, adding class, luxury and warmth into the rest of the home. Note the lovely continuation of the painted navy doors that open into each room. To the left, pop your head around the door and spot the large family bathroom with a corner tub, WC, and wash hand basin.

Across the hall is the master bedroom. A grand-sized room, decorated in Farrow and Ball with access to the garden, huge wardrobes and a king-size bed. Sit on the sofa, in the large window, admiring the scenery and watching the bees and butterflies flutter among the foliage. It is a haven you can relax in and escape to.

Adjacent stands another good-sized double room with wall-to-ceiling wardrobes along one side, a built-in bookcase and ample room for a bed and chest of drawers.

Return to the hallway and ascend the stairs to find the third bedroom, roomy and offering pretty garden views. Set in the eaves and open to the staircase, yet still private, this versatile area could be used as an office, playroom or snug if you did not need it as a bedroom.

Opposite, a large shower room complete with a WC, wash hand basin and walk-in shower, as well as heaps of storage, completes the first floor of the home, creating a fantastic space for visiting guests or older children who want an escape.

Blue Ridge is the ideal family home that can easily be moved into yet offers plenty of opportunity for you to extend if you wish to in the future.

Gardens and grounds
Blue Ridge is set on a large, peaceful plot that extends from the home, giving a wonderful sense of space and wrapping the home in serenity. Although a fantastic size, especially in its central location, the garden is well established and low maintenance. Simply spend a day or two a year pruning the shrubs and the odd weekend mowing the lawn, and you are set!

To the front, a sweeping driveway leads past the mature beech hedge and pretty planted borders up to the garage; there is plenty of room for 2-3 cars. Fencing ensures that the back garden is secure and private so children and pets are free to roam as they please.

Close to the back of the home, discover a beautiful suntrap in the form of a tiered patio, with slate chippings to the bottom level and Lakeland paving to the top, both allowing for large family gatherings, summer BBQs and lazy Sundays watching the children play on the slides at the bottom of the garden. It's a garden fit for a family!
A mature magnolia tree that blooms a multitude of pink flowers in the spring provides dappled shade on the manicured lawn whilst the fencing and hedging hide the plot away.

Space is in abundance, so for the keen gardener, why not create an allotment where you can grow your fruit and veggies before cooking up a storm, making jams and crumbles? Spot the piles of stacked wood - you will be set for years to come.

If you did wish to extend the home, the garden would still be a capacious family haven.
