Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious central hallway. To the right, the generous living room enjoys a wonderful triple aspect, allowing natural light to flood the space, whilst a cosy open fireplace creates an inviting focal point. Characterful features have been thoughtfully retained, including the attractive 1930s panelled ceiling, adding warmth and charm to the room.

Positioned to the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units incorporating worktop space with breakfast bar seating, an inset sink with double drainer, space for a freestanding cooker and fridge freezer, whilst also housing the boiler. A useful utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer together with shelving for additional storage. Within the utility, a linen cupboard houses the hot water cylinder. A door from the kitchen provides direct access out to the garden.

The house bathroom is well-appointed and comprises a panelled bath, WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

A corridor leads to the bedroom accommodation positioned along the left-hand side of the property, where there are three double bedrooms and separate shower room.

Bedroom One is a particularly spacious double room enjoying a triple aspect outlook and is currently utilised as a music room. Bedroom Two is another generous double bedroom positioned at the rear of the property, whilst Bedroom Three is situated to the front and again offers double proportions.

The separate shower room is fitted with a standalone shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

In addition, an intelligently designed open plan area has been created within the home, offering a versatile and practical space perfectly suited for home working, studying or creative hobbies, whilst making excellent use of the property's generous footprint. This area could also offer potential to be converted into a fourth bedroom, subject to the necessary planning permissions and any required consents.

Externally, the property boasts beautifully established wraparound gardens bordered by traditional Lakeland stone walls. The generous lawned garden is complemented by mature plants, shrubs and trees, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. A charming rockery sits at the bottom of the garden, whilst a historic well has been carefully maintained and sympathetically landscaped with Lakeland stone and flagging, providing a delightful focal feature.

The integral garage benefits from power and lighting, offering useful storage and sheltered parking for vehicles and outdoor equipment. The property also benefits from an undercroft running beneath the right-hand side of the bungalow, providing further storage potential.
