Description

The Property
A delightful relaxing semi detached bungalow which started life as a stable block. Totally renovated to a high standard just 18 months ago. Located in the seaside village of Allonby which is an outstanding area of natural beauty. The property benefits from a wonderful near seafront position and will suit families, professionals or retired. Currently it is used as a successful holiday let. Surrounded by the beautiful coastline and views of Scotland over the Solway Firth you will be able to while away the hours on the beach, or in front of the log burning stove enjoying a quiet read. In summer the courtyard garden is ideal for barbeques and evenings watching the summer sun disappear into the waves.
This is a delightful all year round retreat on the edge of the Lake district National Park. The nearby town of Maryport provides all transport links and Carlisle, Workington and Whitehaven are within easy traveling distance. The property provides light, bright and airy accommodation with an open plan living lounge/kitchen, 3 bedrooms and modern family bathroom.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a bespoke seaside residence.
The property has internet controlled gas central heating, double glazing to all windows and hard wired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
