Description

Situated in the serene village of Kirkland, this detached dormer bungalow offers a prime opportunity for renovation and reconfiguration. Located near Ennerdale Water and the stunning Ennerdale Valley landscapes, this property sits on a spacious plot with well-established gardens, creating an inviting canvas for potential buyers. Having been under the same ownership for many years, it has been maintained with care but would benefit from modern updates to unlock its full potential. The bungalow features adaptable living spaces that cater to various needs, whether for families or individuals seeking a peaceful retreat close to local amenities and the Lake District National Park. The current layout includes an entrance hallway leading into a generous lounge with dual aspect windows, a flexible dining room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom or home office, and a kitchen that opens directly onto the outdoor gardens. With three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC, there's ample space available. The substantial outdoor area is ideal for children’s activities or entertaining guests. Notably, the attached garage and side space present excellent extension opportunities or could be converted to create ancillary accommodation—subject to planning permissions. With off-road parking available on the driveway, this property combines comfort with significant investment potential in one of Cumbria's most desirable rural locations.
