There is a large open plan living area with modern kitchen and peninsular units defining both areas, offering a range of oak wall and base units with wood effect worksurface incorporating a single drainer stainless steel sink unit. There is a an integrated oven, fridge freezer, slimline dishwasher and 4 ring electric hob and extractor hood over. The Living area has an abundance of character with beams and wooden floorboards throughout. Double glazed sliding doors lead to the garden area. Adjacent is a shower room with WC, vanity wash basin, walk in shower with Mira electric shower over and chrome heated towel rail. Tiling to walls. Steep space saving stairs (which may be difficult access for some) lead to the first floor which has limited headroom to roughly 50% of the floorspace but offers a landing area with under eaves storage and 2 small double bedrooms both with velux rooflights bringing ample natural light.

The current owners have always used the "two" units as one property and are available separately if desired.

They did however obtain planning permission for a change of use on the property in Dec 2023 so that the properties would effectively be two separate houses. The rear 2 bedroomed annexe becomes a holiday let for short term holiday letting only. More details on request or go to the Lake District National park planning website (ref 7/2023/5574).

There is also parking approximately 50m away allocated for 1 vehicle and there is a patio garden area to enjoy.
