Description
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.

The nearby town of Maryport provides all transport links and Carlisle, Workington and Whitehaven are within easy traveling distance.
