Description

Set in the charming Kentmere Valley, this two-bedroom detached bungalow presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and personalization. With substantial grounds of approximately three-quarters of an acre, the property is ideally positioned alongside the River Kent, offering a peaceful setting for rural living. Currently requiring considerable updates, this bungalow allows prospective buyers to tailor the home to their own specifications, making it an appealing project for those with ties to Cumbria over the past three years. The spacious interior includes a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove and an open-plan kitchen-dining area that leads out onto the garden, featuring picturesque fell views. Each of the two double bedrooms enjoys delightful vistas of the river, while the shower room is in need of modernization. The attic space provides additional storage or could be transformed into a hobby area. While outdoor spaces feature ample parking and a large lawned garden with private river access, potential buyers should note that Japanese Knotweed is present and will require professional removal. The existing private drainage system does not meet current regulations and would necessitate an upgrade shared with neighboring properties. Additionally, previous planning permissions for a two-storey extension offer further expansion possibilities if resubmitted. This property serves as an excellent canvas for creative renovation ideas in an enviable location, ensuring its future value can be significantly enhanced by thoughtful upgrades.
