A Beautifully Refurbished True Bungalow in a Tranquil Lakeland Setting

Tucked away at the peaceful end of a quiet cul-de-sac and enjoying open views with a genuine sense of seclusion, number 18 Seedfield is a truly delightful and immaculately presented true bungalow. This stylish and welcoming home has been thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners and offers both comfort and elegance the moment you step through the front door.

Approached by a generous driveway with ample parking for several vehicles, the home is set behind lovingly maintained gardens. Mature planting provides year-round interest with seasonal bursts of colour; a lovely welcome for visitors and a reflection of the care and attention that has gone into the property.

Step inside through a small entrance vestibule, which provides the perfect place to leave muddy boots and coats after a walk through the surrounding countryside. From here, a spacious hallway opens up, tastefully decorated in soft almond tones with pristine white woodwork and stylish, modern panelled doors finished with brushed chrome handles. Above, a large loft hatch provides access to a substantial attic space, which could easily be boarded for additional storage.

Warmth is provided by a sleek anthracite column radiator, adding a subtle splash of contemporary style. Underfoot, luxury Karndean flooring, fitted in 2021, flows through the hallway into the lounge and complements the overall design beautifully.

From the hallway, you can access both double bedrooms, the spacious lounge and the superb modern kitchen diner. Let's begin with the lounge.

A deep square bay window frames the views and features another anthracite column radiator, continuing the home’s modern yet comfortable aesthetic. The soft, neutral décor continues here, creating a calming space to relax. At the heart of the room is a contemporary wooden fireplace surround, housing a stylish Montana living flame gas fire, installed in 2021, which offers all the charm of a traditional wood burner with the convenience of gas.

Adjacent to the lounge is the beautifully appointed kitchen diner; an ideal space for both quiet breakfasts and sociable evening meals. Fitted in June 2020 by Howdens, the kitchen features sleek cashmere-toned cabinetry and quality integrated appliances, including a Bosch slimline dishwasher, Lamona fridge and freezer, and a Bosch combination microwave alongside a fan-assisted oven, all cleverly housed within the stunning handleless cabinetry. a Bosch induction hob is neatly fitted into the work surface which completes the look beautifully. Striking granite work surfaces installed by Stoneworld, a composite granite sink with Franke mixer taps, sits under the window which gives views out to the private garden.
Warm oak-effect flooring, also supplied and fitted by Howdens, ties the space together and adds warmth to the stylish, functional design. Heat is provided via the tall column radiator in anthracite. A door from the kitchen leads to a rear vestibule with space for an overflow fridge and tumble dryer, and houses the electrical consumer unit.
A small utility cupboard within the kitchen houses plumbing for the washing machine, the Valiant combi boiler and offers handy pantry shelving.

At the head of the hallway, the family bathroom is a fresh, modern space, tiled to three-quarters height with crisp white tiles and an attractive mosaic glass border in black, white and grey tones. A splash of teal above the tiles adds personality to the room. The suite comprises a full-sized bath with a mains-fed shower over, ideal for either a relaxing soak or a refreshing start to the day. A low flush WC and a pedestal sink. A white radiator ensures the space remains warm and welcoming and the cushioned flooring underfoot is as beautiful as it is practical.

The room easily accommodates a super king-sized bed and large furniture, and includes a spacious cupboard fitted with rails and shelving.
