Detached two-bedroom bungalow set on a private road in an elevated position, offering pleasant surroundings and a garage with off-road parking. There is scope to update and modernise throughout, making it an ideal opportunity for someone looking to put their own stamp on a home. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular village of Arnside, the property is within easy reach of local amenities and the attractive countryside of the Arnside and Silverdale area.

This spacious and versatile home offers a wonderful opportunity to create a truly special property in a desirable setting. With generous room proportions, far-reaching views, and attractive gardens, the home provides a comfortable layout that would now benefit from some updating and upgrading to suit modern tastes and individual requirements.

You are welcomed through an enclosed porch, providing access to the garage on the left and the utility room straight ahead. The utility room is a practical space fitted with a stainless steel sink and drainer, work surfaces, and plumbing and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

From the porch, steps lead up to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktops over, a Bosch double eye-level oven, stainless steel sink and drainer, and a four-ring electric hob with extractor hood. A serving hatch connects the kitchen to the dining room, making this an excellent layout for family living or entertaining.

Off the inner hallway, the dining room is positioned to the front of the property and enjoys lovely views over the garden and beyond, with an additional side window allowing plenty of natural light.

The family bathroom is also accessed from the hallway and includes a bath, pedestal wash basin, WC, and part-tiled walls.

At the far end of the property, the living room offers a generous and welcoming space, filled with light from large windows to both the front and rear. The room's focal fireplace provides a cosy centrepiece, and with some modernisation, this could become a stunning main reception area.

The inner hallway also leads to a front porch, which opens directly onto the front garden. There is a useful understairs storage area with two built-in cupboards providing excellent household storage.

To the first floor, stairs rise to a landing that includes a built-in cupboard and loft access. There are two double bedrooms, both enjoying elevated views towards the Estuary and the Cumbrian Fells beyond. Each bedroom features ample built-in storage and eaves cupboards, making the most of the available space.

Completing the accommodation on this floor is a separate WC with pedestal wash basin and built-in storage cupboard.

Outside, the property enjoys attractive front and rear gardens. To the rear, there is off-road parking leading to the garage, and a well-screened garden mainly laid to lawn, with mature shrubs and flower borders. Access is available to both sides of the property.

The front garden is another highlight, offering a well-stocked space with pathways, rockeries, a greenhouse and a shed. The elevated position provides lovely open views, making this a tranquil spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Overall, this much-loved home provides an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a property with character, space, and potential - ready to be updated and personalised to create a wonderful family home in a sought-after area.
