Watermillock, Penrith, CA11

Enjoying an enviable setting overlooking the breathtaking beauty of Ullswater, and boasting the highly sought-after Watermillock postcode, this charming detached three-bedroom bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved home with exceptional potential in one of the Lake District’s most desirable locations.

Set along a private approach on this quiet road which in turn leads to the outward bound, the bungalow occupies a wonderfully peaceful position, offering privacy, space, and scope for enhancement to suit a new owner’s tastes.

The accommodation is arranged predominantly over the ground floor and is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall, which provides access to the principal rooms. To one side of the hallway are three bedrooms, including a front-aspect bedroom benefiting from an ensuite shower room, while two further bedrooms sit to the rear, enjoying a tranquil outlook. Off the second bedroom, a side hallway leads to an additional shower room and stairs rising to the first-floor landing.

Returning to the main hallway, doors lead to the family bathroom, kitchen, and living room. The kitchen is positioned to the front of the property and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, and tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an eye-level double oven and hob with extractor above, while a 1.5 sink with drainer and mixer tap sits beneath the window. Two integrated cupboards provide useful pantry storage, and a door leads through to the utility room.

The utility room is a practical and well-proportioned space, offering additional wall and base units, a serving hatch through to the dining room, space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and free-standing fridge and freezer. Windows provide natural light, and the oil-fired boiler is housed here.

To the rear of the property, the spacious living room is complemented by a delightful sun room, perfectly positioned to capture the truly stunning outlook over Ullswater and the surrounding countryside. This exceptional vista forms a constant and captivating backdrop. A separate dining room sits off the living room, with patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

To the first floor, a landing provides access to further attic space.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is a driveway providing parking for vehicles, alongside a lawned garden bordered by established hedgerows and shrubs. To the rear, the full splendour of the setting can be appreciated. The rear garden is largely laid to lawn, framed by mature hedgerows, and features a flagged patio an ideal spot to relax and take in the remarkable lake and fell views.

Much loved and now ready for its next chapter, this is a home that offers location, potential, and lifestyle in equal measure, presenting a rare opportunity to create something truly special in a wonderful setting.
