Mainsgate, Irton, Holmrook, CA19

Set within an exceptionally peaceful position in Irton in the Lake District National Park, this charming two-bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare blend of space, privacy and far-reaching views. Occupying a substantial plot of approximately one third of an acre, the property is surrounded by beautifully tended gardens and enjoys uninterrupted outlooks across open countryside towards the western fells.

Inside, the bungalow is deceptively spacious and filled with natural light, and also benefits from newly installed triple glazing throughout. A welcoming entrance hallway leads into a generous lounge/diner, where multiple windows frame the surrounding landscape and a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point during cooler months. The modern kitchen, complete with central island unit, is both practical and sociable, ideal for everyday living or entertaining family and friends. There are two comfortable double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room, all thoughtfully presented.

A door from the kitchen leads up to a large attic space, currently arranged as a home office and a snug. With some reconfiguration, this area offers excellent potential to create additional ancillary bedrooms or further living accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. Externally, the property continues to impress with a large barn offering superb storage or exciting scope for alternative use, a detached garage and generous off-road parking.

For those relocating to the area or seeking a peaceful retirement retreat, this is a truly special home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
