Little Orchard, 4 Thornleigh Drive, Burton-in-Kendal, LA6 1NQ

Little Orchard is a delightful property on a generous plot surrounded by garden on all sides. It offers flexible light-filled accommodation over two floors, perfectly suited to families and retirees who thrive on indoor/outdoor living.

To the front of the property is a driveway with ample parking for up to three cars. A few steps lead to the glazed front door, opening into a bright and welcoming entrance hall. To the right, you'll find a cloakroom with wash basin and WC.

The kitchen overlooks the rear gardens and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, and tiled surrounds. Integrated appliances include a Bosch oven and grill, combi oven and microwave, and four-ring gas hob, with space for integrated dishwasher and undercounter fridge. A door leads to a terracotta-tiled passage with access to the utility/laundry room, attached garage, and back door leading to a gravelled kitchen garden area.

The kitchen leads to the impressive living/dining room-a spacious light-filled area that enjoys fabulous multi-aspect views across the garden. With ample space for armchairs, sofas and feature furniture the room is ideal for both entertaining and relaxation. A slate fire surround and gas fire creates a cosy focal point perfect for chilly winter evenings.

Leading off this room, through floor-to-ceiling glazed French doors is the sun-room, aptly named for its south-facing aspect. Picture windows with views across the lawns offer a garden-view sanctuary with a delightful connection to the outdoors. Sliding doors open onto a paved L-shaped patio area with room for outdoor furniture and access to both lawns.

Also on the ground floor is the principal bedroom, with built-in storage and a good-sized en-suite bathroom with bath/shower, basin and WC -a generously-proportioned haven that could easily be reimagined as a parents' suite with adjoining nursery or child's bedroom.

Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms. Bedroom two is a double with a spacious under-eaves wardrobe space, and there is also a shower room with wash basin and WC.

Outside, Little Orchard truly shines. The property is situated on a generous plot, with sweeping lawns, well-established borders laid mainly to flowering shrubs, raised vegetable beds, a pergola, and a stunning wisteria, all thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance and maximum enjoyment. The grounds offer a peaceful and private setting and present excellent potential for future extension or plot development (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

A rare opportunity to own a special home in an exceptional setting.
