Description

This immaculately presented and extended detached bungalow has been comprehensively modernised throughout and finished to a particularly high standard. It enjoys a truly outstanding setting with uninterrupted panoramic views across the valley towards tree-covered hills, with a distant glimpse of the River Leven, creating a rare combination of refined living and natural beauty.

Approached via a gated driveway, the property offers excellent off-road parking for several vehicles and access to an integral garage positioned beneath the sun room and elevated terrace. The front garden is a private and colourful space, thoughtfully landscaped with established planting, winding paths, and patio areas that enhance the outdoor enjoyment.

The principal living accommodation is beautifully arranged and designed to maximise light and outlook. A dual-aspect lounge sits at the heart of the home, offering expansive open views and featuring a charming gas-fired cottage-style stove, providing a warm and inviting focal point. Flowing seamlessly from here is the highly glazed sun room, which frames the surrounding landscape and opens directly onto the sun terrace through double doors, creating an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the scenery.

The kitchen is open plan with a dining area, forming a sociable and functional living space. It has been fitted to an excellent standard with a twin plate AGA, granite-style work surfaces, and a sleek gloss finish to the cabinetry, complemented by integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. The design combines practicality with a contemporary finish, perfectly suited to modern living.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the larger benefitting from extensive fitted storage. The shower room is bright and stylish, fully tiled and finished with quality sanitaryware including a concealed cistern WC, vanity hand basin with storage beneath, and a generous walk-in shower. In addition, there is a separate WC accessed from the inner hallway, along with a useful laundry cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine.

A loft space is accessed via steep ladder-style steps and has been thoughtfully improved, being fully decorated and lit by a roof light, with additional low-level access doors providing further storage within the eaves. The internal layout is well connected via a central hallway, ensuring ease of movement throughout the home.

Positioned on the edge of the Lake District National Park, the property offers immediate access to some of the UK’s most celebrated landscapes, including lakes, mountains, and woodland—making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle with outstanding outdoor opportunities on the doorstep.
