Description

Set in a striking coastal location, this charming property offers a rare opportunity to create a tranquil retreat surrounded by natural beauty. Positioned near a local nature reserve, the home enjoys sweeping views across the Duddon Estuary and the distant mountain range beyond. A wooden boardwalk leads directly to the beach just moments away, inviting peaceful walks along sand dunes and open shoreline. Tucked away from the bustle of towns and cities, it’s an ideal escape for those seeking quiet, space, and inspiration.

Inside, the property presents a canvas full of potential. While it would benefit from modernisation and upgrading, it offers generous scope for transformation to suit individual tastes. The main living area is arranged as an open-plan lounge and dining space, where natural light frames the impressive views to the front, while a second window looks out over the rear yard. An open fireplace adds character and warmth, and an enclosed staircase rises from the dining area, enhancing the cosy yet practical layout.

The kitchen, situated just beyond, features fitted wall and base units with a dark oak-style finish, complemented by tiled work surfaces and a compact breakfast bar. It includes an inset sink with mixer tap, an integrated oven and hob, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a fridge freezer. Beyond the kitchen lies a heated boiler room, offering further potential for development. With patio doors and an additional access door leading outside, this space could be adapted into something truly special.

Upstairs, the split-level landing provides access to two bedrooms, along with a storage cupboard and loft entry. The front-facing double bedroom enjoys breathtaking panoramic views, making it a standout feature of the home. The spacious bathroom includes a four-piece suite with a separate shower cubicle, bath, WC, and basin, alongside useful built-in storage and natural ventilation.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a gated rear yard that leads to a shared access lane and a garage for secure parking. A detached garden, though currently in need of landscaping, offers excellent potential to create a private outdoor haven. With oil-fired central heating, double glazing, and no onward chain, this home presents an exciting opportunity for buyers with vision to craft a unique coastal sanctuary.
