17 Hill Place, Oxenholme, LA9 7HB

17 Hill Place is a two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow positioned in the heart of Oxenholme, offering an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own taste. The property provides a superb blank canvas for first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a lock-up-and-leave property within easy reach of the Lake District.

Located just a few miles from the vibrant market town of Kendal, Oxenholme is well known for its welcoming community and peaceful village setting, while still offering convenient access to a range of amenities. The village benefits from a MAINLINE railway station - offering direct links to London, Glasgow and Edinburgh, the popular Station Inn pub and David Willan's Food Hall, renowned for its excellent selection of local produce and freshly baked goods.

Steps from the road lead up to the property, where you are welcomed by a west-facing decking balcony enjoying elevated views over Oxenholme and Kendal towards Scout Scar. This pleasant outdoor space offers the perfect spot for garden furniture, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the evening sun and far-reaching outlook.

Entry to the property is via the side door into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a part-tiled splashback and a sink and drainer positioned beneath the side aspect window. The kitchen includes a Carrick four-ring gas hob with grill and oven, an undercounter larder fridge, Beko freezer, Aqua save dishwasher and Bosch washing machine. The room also houses the wall-mounted Worcester boiler and benefits from a front aspect window overlooking the balcony and views beyond.

An archway leads through to the main living area, where sliding glass doors open onto the front balcony, filling the room with natural light and making the most of the impressive outlook. A gas fireplace with wooden mantle provides a central focal point to the space.

From the living area, the main hallway provides access to the remaining accommodation. A useful storage cupboard houses the property's water cylinder and offers additional space for towels and linen. Bedroom one is a generous double room with a rear aspect window overlooking the yard and a built-in cupboard providing both hanging and shelving space. Bedroom two is also a double room, with rear aspect windows bringing in natural light. The wet room comprises an electric overhead shower, wash hand basin and WC, with a side aspect window providing ventilation and daylight.

To the rear, the property benefits from an enclosed yard arranged over several tiers, featuring a paved patio area, raised planting beds and timber retaining borders. This outdoor space offers excellent potential to be enhanced into an attractive seating and planting area, with elevated views towards The Helm. The property further benefits from off-road parking and a garage, complete with an up-and-over door and equipped with both power and lighting.
