What If Your Last Move Could Be Your Best Move? Most people think of a bungalow as a step down…clearly this one didn't get that memo. Brand new with a show-stopping marble island at the heart of an open plan kitchen / lounge / diner and two ensuite bedrooms. Property ref: KD0516

There's a version of later life living that involves compromise - smaller rooms, lower ceilings, finishes you'd never have chosen yourself. This isn't that bungalow. This is a brand new single storey home built for people who know exactly what they want and aren't prepared to settle for less.

From the outside, it's a neat, modern white bungalow on the edge of the countryside - pleasant enough, but giving very little away. Inside is a different conversation entirely.

The open plan kitchen, lounge and dining space is the heart of the home, and it makes an immediate, lasting impression. The kitchen itself is fitted with rich walnut-toned cabinets, a mirrored splashback and integrated appliances - but it's the marble island that stops you. 

Full length, gold-tapped, with a waterfall edge in veined white and gold stone, it's the kind of top-spec kitchen you'd expect in a luxury five or six bedroom family home.

A sculptural pendant light hangs above it. Herringbone flooring runs the full length of the space and at the living room end, a wall-mounted electric fire sits flush in the wall. The whole room works as well for a quiet Tuesday evening as it does for a table full of friends.

Both bedrooms are doubles, have their own ensuites and are finished to the same superb standard as the rest of the house. The main bedroom has herringbone flooring and a vaulted ceiling detail. The main ensuite features a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower with a ceiling-mounted head, antique mirror tiling and gold fittings throughout - it’s a genuinely spa-like space. 

The second ensuite takes a different approach: bold black fixtures, herringbone wall tiling and a rainfall shower. A separate w/c completes the layout and ensures visiting friends and family don’t have to disturb your bedroom privacy.

As it’s a brand new home, running costs are kept low from day one with an air source heat pump and solar panels on the roof. 

There’s parking on the drive, and it’s only a five minute walk to the town centre - with its shops, cafés and regular market. 

The A596 and M6 are both easily accessible for anyone needing to get to Carlisle or further afield.

If you've been telling yourself that moving to a bungalow means giving something up, this one makes a rather convincing counter-argument. Moving here will feel like a genuine upgrade.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
