Description

Set in the tranquil village of Kirkland and only a short stroll from the scenic Ennerdale Water, this detached dormer bungalow presents a remarkable investment opportunity with significant renovation potential. Having been under the same ownership for many years, the property has been well-maintained but would benefit from updates and modernisation to fully realise its appeal. This property offers a generous plot featuring established gardens, which could serve as an ideal backdrop for expansion or reconfiguration to better suit contemporary living needs. The quiet surroundings provide an atmosphere of privacy while still being conveniently located near local amenities and the stunning landscapes of Lake District National Park. The flexible layout currently includes a spacious lounge, separate dining room (which has potential as a fourth bedroom), well-sized kitchen leading to lush gardens, ground floor double bedroom, bathroom, and additional WC. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms are present. Externally, the property boasts attractive lawned gardens wrapping around it, offering ample outdoor space ideal for family activities or entertaining guests. The attached garage and adjacent side area open up exciting possibilities for extensions or conversions—perhaps to create a self-contained annexe subject to planning permission. With good off-road parking available on the driveway, this home combines substantial living space with abundant potential for growth in one of Cumbria’s most sought-after rural settings.
