Wilkins Estate Agents are delighted to present to the market this exceptional four-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a secluded and private position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the highly desirable village of Appleby Magna. Set within approximately 0.92 acres of beautifully maintained south-facing grounds, complete with a private lake formerly part of the historic Appleby Fishery, this impressive home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful countryside living without compromising on modern convenience.

Tucked away down a private driveway and surrounded by mature greenery, the property enjoys an enviable sense of privacy and tranquillity. Offering over 1,500 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed single-level accommodation, this immaculately presented home combines spacious and versatile living with breathtaking outdoor surroundings, creating a lifestyle opportunity rarely found within the village.

Internally, the property is entered via a wide and welcoming entrance hallway which provides access to all principal rooms. At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen diner, beautifully appointed with contemporary fittings, generous worktop space, integrated appliances and ample room for family dining and entertaining. Flooded with natural light, the kitchen benefits from double doors opening directly onto the rear patio and gardens, while sliding doors lead seamlessly into the adjoining conservatory, providing an additional reception space with panoramic views across the grounds and lake beyond.

The spacious lounge is equally impressive, enjoying a dual-aspect layout with a bay window to the front elevation and double doors opening onto the rear gardens, allowing natural light to pour through the room while creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. A feature fireplace creates a warm focal point, making this an ideal space for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests.

Positioned privately off the lounge is the superb principal bedroom suite, creating a peaceful retreat away from the remainder of the accommodation. This generous bedroom benefits from direct garden access via double patio doors, a walk-in wardrobe and a well-appointed en-suite shower room, offering a boutique hotel-style feel. The accommodation is completed by two further double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, an additional well-proportioned fourth bedroom and a modern family bathroom.

Externally, the grounds are truly a standout feature of the property and provide an experience in themselves. The bungalow is approached via a private driveway leading to extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles, including a substantial block paved driveway and additional gravelled parking area. The landscaped south-facing gardens wrap beautifully around the property and have been thoughtfully designed to create distinct areas of interest, relaxation and entertaining, whilst remaining manageable and well maintained.

Directly outside the rear of the property is a generous wrap-around patio accessed from the kitchen, lounge and principal bedroom, creating the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this lies an expansive lawn bordered by mature trees, established shrubbery and evergreen planting, ensuring complete privacy and a picturesque outlook throughout the seasons.

Undoubtedly the crown jewel of this remarkable home is the private lake, formerly part of the historic Appleby Fishery, providing a stunning natural backdrop and further enhancing the peaceful atmosphere of the grounds. Whether enjoyed for its scenic beauty, wildlife or simply the tranquillity it brings, it elevates this home into something truly special.
