Description

This well-loved family bungalow, which has been in the same ownership for nearly 45 years, presents a unique opportunity for new owners to reimagine its potential. With four versatile double bedrooms situated on the ground floor, this home offers ample space that can easily adapt to various needs—whether accommodating a growing family or hosting guests. The layout is largely open-plan, creating a flow from the lounge to the dining room and extending into a conservatory that boasts scenic views of the expansive garden and surrounding countryside. Set at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac in Bridekirk, this property benefits from an impressive plot size of approximately 1,500m² (over 16,000 ft²), featuring generous outdoor space perfect for recreational activities or serene retreats. The back garden is fully walled, providing privacy and security alongside a patio area ideal for al fresco dining. Conveniently positioned just minutes from local amenities in Cockermouth and with access to beautiful natural landscapes like Bassenthwaite Lake and the River Derwent, this home makes for an excellent base as you explore the great outdoors. While the property has been diligently cared for over decades, it does present opportunities for modernization and personal touch—be it through cosmetic updates or more significant renovations. With two functional bathrooms ensuring convenience during busy mornings, and a double garage equipped with power and electric door capabilities, there's solid infrastructure already in place. The time has come for new ownership to breathe fresh life into this cherished residence either by enhancing its existing charm or transforming it entirely. Given its spacious layout and substantial land offering, this bungalow promises significant investment potential for those willing to create their dream home.
