Charming, original half glazed door leads into the Dining Kitchen which is 'L' shaped with walk-in Pantry Cupboard, shelved recess with cupboard beneath and space for dining table and chairs. Furnished with a range of off white wall and base cabinets with wood effect work surface and 1½ bowl stainless steel sink unit. Space for fridge freezer, plumbing for washing machine, built in electric oven and gas hob. External door.

From the Living Room stairs lead up to the incredibly spacious Landing area with exposed beam, recessed ceiling spot lights and window to the rear. This space is very versatile having most recently been used as a good sized Study. Both Bedrooms as doubles with Bedroom 1 being spacious and Bedroom 2 a little cosier! Both enjoy a front aspect with deep set window and window seats. Bedroom 2 has a quirky recess and wardrobe area. The Bathroom has a white suite comprising bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Airing cupboard housing the LPG gas central heating boiler.

Externally is the Rear Garden area. A real bonus! Quite private, split level and low maintenance being largely paved with a planted flower bed or two. The prefabricated concrete garage with folding front door, side door/window, power and light, possibly with roof sections constructed of concrete/asbestos but buyers would need to arrange their own checks. There is vehicular access in the deeds over the neighbouring driveway but not used for a number of years 

Location: Occupying a pleasant location off the main road in Backbarrow within the Lake District National Park. The property lies a short drive from the foot of Windermere Lake and provides easy access to the whole of South Lakeland.

The nearby facilities of Backbarrow include the Whitewater Hotel Leisure Club, Primary School and Doctors Surgery. The nearest town is the market town of Ulverston, approximately 15 minutes by car which provides a variety of independent shops and supermarkets.
