Description

This well-maintained detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion. Owned by the same family for an impressive 70 years, it features a welcoming ambiance with sunny, spacious rooms that boast significant potential for transformation. The property's loft is already partially boarded and illuminated, offering a prime opportunity to create additional living space while the expansive garden provides ample room for extensions, subject to planning consent. Upon entering, the vestibule provides a practical area for coats and shoes, leading into a generous hallway. The lounge features a large bay window that bathes the room in natural light, complemented by a cozy living flame gas fire. Bedroom 1 mirrors this arrangement with built-in storage and another bay window, ensuring thoughtful use of space. The well-sized dining kitchen offers an attractive view of the rear garden and includes older-style oak cabinets alongside modern conveniences like an electric oven and ceramic hob. It also has direct access to the patio area, making it ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The second bedroom at the back of the home enjoys dual aspect windows, enhancing its bright feel. A recently upgraded shower room features contemporary fittings and useful high-level storage. Outside, the property boasts a spacious patio adorned with an arbor that leads down to a lawned area embellished with mature shrubs—offering an inviting outdoor space that could be further developed. Located in Cark/Flookburgh, this bungalow is conveniently situated right opposite Cark Railway Station and within walking distance to local shops, hairdressers, and pubs. The vibrant village of Flookburgh is just a short stroll away and hosts essential amenities including a doctor's surgery and primary school. Furthermore, the renowned village of Cartmel—with its celebrated eateries and annual races—is only five minutes away by car. For those seeking recreation or adventure in nature, both the Lake District National Park and South Lakes attractions are approximately 25 minutes drive. This property not only offers comfortable living now but also significant investment potential in terms of renovations or leasing opportunities—estimated rental income ranges from £750 to £800 per month—making it an appealing option for both homeowners looking for their next project or investors aiming to capitalize on its location and possibilities.
