Surrounded by beautiful countryside and generous gardens, the property provides a peaceful retreat while remaining within easy reach of the vibrant amenities of Bowness-on-Windermere.

Presented throughout in a contemporary neutral palette, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded to create bright, welcoming living spaces that are ready to move straight into. The stylish fitted kitchen and 4 bedrooms, provides an ideal setting for everyday family life and entertaining, complemented by modern, living room and well-appointed bathrooms finished to a high standard.

Steps lead to the composite front door and beyond into a split level entrance hall with open tread stairs to the upper and lower levels of accommodation. The upper level landing takes you to the main reception areas, the Living Room being an impressively light filled room having both a window to rear and UPVC double glazed door leading out to one of the property's standout features, the delightful rear balcony, where elevated views across the surrounding countryside create the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.

Adjacent the spacious, triple aspect kitchen dining area is a fantastic room for gatherings and family life. With defined open plan spaces for formal dining and cooking with underfloor heating and attractive wood effect flooring throughout. There is a range of contemporary high gloss wall and base units including pantry cupboard, granite worksurfaces including the peninsular breakfast bar area and matching upstands.
