3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Welcome to a property that offers even the most discerning of buyers a great deal of potential. With deceptively generous accommodation, expansive gardens and incredible views, this property is well worth a visit. Enjoying an enviable position along a quiet road, home to only eight other properties and with the delightful Sandwath Syke beck running through the bottom of the garden, this is an idyllic yet conveniently placed home, with the bustling town of Kirkby Stephen only a short drive away.

The accommodation is currently utilised as a two bedroom dwelling, though the layout readily lends itself to being configured as a three bedroom home if desired. Entry is via an entrance porch which leads into a welcoming hallway, where excellent storage is provided by a double-fronted cloaks cupboard and a shelved airing cupboard, alongside a loft hatch for further storage access. From here, doors lead to the principal living areas, bedrooms, bathroom and utility.

Positioned to the front of the property, the kitchen enjoys a delightful outlook and is fitted with a range of wall and base units topped in a complementary worksurface with tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, oven and hob with extractor fan, while space is available for a freestanding fridge and a sink is positioned beneath the window. A breakfast bar provides casual seating and a door leads through to the dining room.

The dining room is well placed to capture the surrounding rural views and offers ample space for dining furniture. This versatile room could equally serve as an additional reception room or study and provides access to the hallway, the front sun room and a further flexible room currently utilised as an office but easily functioning as a third bedroom with attractive garden views.

The front sun room is a delightful addition and the perfect place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee, with views over the front garden towards the fells and the historic town beyond. To the rear, the generously proportioned living room provides a warm and inviting space centered around a charming wood-burning stove set within a brick surround fireplace and wooden lintel. Patio doors open onto the rear patio, while a further doorway leads into the rear sun room — another superb vantage point from which to admire the gardens and countryside.

A practical utility room is fitted with additional storage units, sink and space for laundry appliances and a fridge freezer. It also provides access to the WC, internal garage and the exterior. The garage is an excellent size, fitted with an electric up-and-over door and housing the oil-fired boiler and consumer unit.

The family bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and vanity basin, complemented by tiled flooring and partially tiled walls. The second bedroom is a comfortable double with fitted wardrobe, while the principal bedroom is particularly spacious, benefitting from a dressing room with integrated wardrobes and a private shower room en-suite.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The driveway provides ample parking and the plot extends around each side of the property with lawned gardens and an additional strip of land to the side, accessible from both the garden and gates to the front. To the rear, the grounds open into a delightful and thoughtfully arranged landscape featuring established flower beds, shrubs, fruit trees and a well-placed greenhouse offering the opportunity to grow your own produce.

As you meander through the garden, passing ornamental ponds, a wishing well and flagged patio seating areas, you approach the picturesque Sandwath Syke beck. A charming wooden bridge crosses the water to an expansive lawn bordered by established trees and currently carpeted with seasonal snowdrops, creating a peaceful and private retreat immersed in nature. This enchanting outdoor space offers an abundance of potential and a truly special environment ready for the next owners to enjoy.

A home of space, versatility and remarkable surroundings, offering a rare opportunity to create something truly special.
