Description

Set back from the main road and positioned in an elevated location, this property is approached via a tarmac driveway, flanked by a lush lawn garden with mature shrubs and a hedgerow boundary. A detached single garage, tucked behind a gate, offers secure storage for bicycles and garden equipment.

Entering through the front porch with terracotta tiled flooring, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the ground-floor accommodation and stairs rising to the first-floor landing.

The main reception room is an impressive open-plan lounge/diner, spanning the full depth of the property and creating a superb space for family living and entertaining. To the front, a cosy bay-windowed lounge overlooks the garden and features an open fire, offering a warm and inviting focal point. At the rear, the formal dining area seamlessly connects to the garden via glazed patio doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of storage cupboards and a three-sided worktop, providing generous preparation space. It includes a one-and-a-half sink drainer with mixer tap, a four-ring gas hob, an integrated electric oven/grill, and washing machine, with dedicated space for an upright fridge freezer. Plumbing and electrics available for a replacement dishwasher. Additional cupboards provide storage for dry goods and household equipment. A door from the kitchen leads directly to the driveway for convenient access, where a handy shed provides coal storage.

Upstairs, doors lead to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a generous, bay-windowed double, complete with built-in wardrobes and additional open storage, enjoying elevated views across Benson Knott and the Howgills, a view also shared by the adjoining single bedroom.
