The Property
Nestled at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac, Linden Lea is a charming three-bedroom detached bungalow with beautiful gardens and stunning views, located in a peaceful village within the Lake District National Park. While enjoying a serene rural setting, it remains close to local amenities with easy access to the picturesque market town of Keswick.

The accommodation is spacious and thoughtfully designed to make the absolute most of the location, an elevated patio area offers the perfect vantage point to enjoy sweeping views of the unspoiled Cumbrian countryside.

The entrance hallway with a built-in cloakroom cupboard grants access to the ground floor living areas and two double bedrooms. Off the hallway, a versatile room, currently used as a study, includes built-in bookcases and is perfectly configured as a dedicated home office. A modern open staircase leads to the first floor.

The traditional kitchen features abundant cabinetry for storage and there is ample space for a dining table and chairs. Dual-aspect windows fill the room with natural light and offer captivating views of Skiddaw and the garden. The adjoining utility room enhances the home's functionality with additional storage, a dedicated area for a washer and other white goods, and convenient access to the garden.

For a more formal dining experience, the dedicated dining room presents an elegant setting against the stunning countryside backdrop. This room seamlessly flows into the lounge, separated by a half wall and a charming archway. The lounge is a cosy retreat, featuring an electric log-effect burner nestled within a striking slate fireplace. Full-length windows offer panoramic views, and patio doors open directly onto the elevated patio area.

The ground floor is completed by two generously sized double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom, which features a separate shower cubicle for added convenience. The principal bedroom is a serene retreat, benefiting from built-in wardrobes and magnificent views out into the garden and the picturesque countryside beyond. Ascending to the first floor you will find a third double bedroom under the eaves along with ample storage space.

Externally
The property boasts a spacious driveway that allows off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a generously sized garage. The grounds are enclosed by mature hedging, offering added privacy and a sense of seclusion.

The outdoor space is a highlight, with several patio areas strategically placed around the property, each providing inviting seating spots perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. One of these areas is on an elevated level, offering unrivalled, unobstructed views of Skiddaw, Lattrigg, and Dodd Wood, with the tranquil River Derwent visible at the garden's edge.

The rear gardens are truly exceptional, featuring a vast, well-maintained lawn with mature decorative plants and three wildlife ponds. Three versatile outbuildings are situated within the grounds, offering ample storage space or the potential to be used as a dedicated workshop area. Gated access at the bottom of the garden leads to the riverbank, where a flat walking route of less than a mile takes you directly into Keswick.
