Birks Lea, 16 Briery Bank, Arnside, Cumbria, LA5 0EF

As you step into Birks Lea, 16 Briery Bank, you're welcomed by a bright kitchen-diner with a vaulted ceiling, modern appliances, and a practical range of base and wall units. The room enjoys plenty of natural light, complemented by tiled flooring and a neat tiled splashback.

The kitchen leads into a useful utility room with space for a washing machine, room for boots and coats, and direct access to the garden-handy for pets, outdoor activities, and everyday convenience.

Returning through the spacious study area you enter the central hallway. To the right are the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. All three bedrooms have pleasant views across Arnside and the Gait Barrows Nature Reserve.

Bedroom two is a comfortable double room with space for storage.

Bedroom three has space for storage and a single bed making it well-suited as a guest room, hobby room or home office.

At the end of the hallway is bedroom one, a quiet double room at the rear of the property with room for generous storage and a three piece en-suite.

Next is the three-piece family bathroom, fitted with modern fixtures, a heated towel rail, fully tiled walls and flooring, and a practical built-in airing cupboard.

At the opposite end of the hallway are the two reception rooms. On the left, the sitting room offers a multi-fuel stove, a small porthole window, and stained-glass bay windows with views of the estuary and surrounding fells.

Across the hall, the living room provides another bright space with stained-glass bay windows framing views over the estuary, Arnside, and towards Yealand. Sliding doors open onto the balcony with steps that lead down to the patio. Beneath the property lies a spacious undercroft, accessed directly from the patio area. This versatile space offers ample room for storage, a workshop, or the creation of additional functional areas, making it a valuable extension of the home's living and utility space.

Birks Lea sits within a generous wraparound garden and offers parking for a campervan as well as several cars. The rear patio provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, with far-reaching views towards the Lake District and the Kent Estuary. A charming summerhouse adds the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery with a cool drink in hand.

This chain-free property is deceptively spacious-a true Tardis-and benefits from high-speed network connections to most rooms, making it ideal for modern living. It offers excellent versatility and potential to expand, including the opportunity to convert the generous roof space (subject to permissions).

Well-suited to families, retirees, and anyone seeking additional space, the home combines practicality with a welcoming feel. Pleasant scenic walks are close by, while local amenities are within easy reach, providing an appealing blend of countryside surroundings and everyday living.
