Description

Location: Set in a semi rural location on the outskirts of Bowness village. From the roundabout in the centre of Bowness proceed towards the Lake. Turn left onto Kendal Road, opposite St Martins Church, and continue for approximately 3/4 mile. Take the left turn onto Crook Road (signposted Crook/Kendal B5284). Squirrel Bank is a short way along on the right hand side. 

Description: A traditional detached true bungalow thought to have been built in 1903 by local builders G.H Pattinson. Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.5 acres with hedged borders to allow for privacy. With a versatile layout comprising 3 bedrooms (all en-suite), conservatory dining room, sitting room, dining kitchen and utility. The accommodation has been arranged to allow 2 of the bedrooms to be let on a bed and breakfast basis whilst still allowing privacy for the 'owners area', the current owners utilised the property like this from 2002 to 2009. Neatly presented and with gas fired central heating and all of the windows being double glazed.

The detached double garage was converted in 2005 to create a rather charming 1 bedroomed holiday cottage with its own separate gas fired central heating system and has generated an impressive income of between £12,000 and £15,000 per annum.

Outline planning permission was granted on 6th November 2017 to build a 3 bedroomed detached property within the grounds (as shown on the boundary plan marked in blue) subject to a local occupancy clause (planning ref 7/2017/5609) with full plans to be submitted within 3 years of this date. Whilst the current owners do not wish to sell the plot separately the new owners could if so desired, alternatively it could be developed and then sold on later.
