Description

A well-proportioned three-bedroom holiday cottage in the heart of Bowness, ideally situated within easy walking distance of the village's popular bars, restaurants and shops. The property benefits from off-road parking and a garage and is offered with the potential to continue as a successful holiday let. Furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.

The property is entered via an entrance hall, providing a practical space for coats and boots. Off the hallway is a useful ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, also housing the gas central heating boiler.

The dual-aspect living room is bright and welcoming, with sash windows allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room.

The spacious, triple-aspect dining kitchen is another light-filled room, offering ample space for a dining table and making it an ideal hub for family meals or entertaining. Fitted with contemporary red wall and base units complemented by grey concrete-effect worktops, the kitchen features an inset stainless steel sink with mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a Neff four-ring gas hob with stainless steel splashback and extractor hood, Neff gas oven, Neff dishwasher and Neff washing machine, while freestanding Indesit fridge and freezer are also included. The room is finished with a tiled floor and recessed ceiling spotlights.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to the loft space, three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous dual-aspect double room and the largest of the three. Bedroom two is a further double room, currently arranged as a twin, while bedroom three is a comfortable single room, ideal as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece white suite comprising a WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a P-shaped bath with chrome shower over. Additional features include a decorative inset mirror with shaver light, a white heated towel rail, recessed ceiling spotlights and part-tiled walls.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking for one vehicle and a useful single garage with an up-and-over door, providing additional storage or secure parking.
