Description

Occupying a enviable position at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully presented detached bungalow offers the perfect blend of peaceful residential living and everyday convenience. Just a short walk from Penrith town centre, the property enjoys sweeping, uninterrupted views across the rooftops towards the iconic fells of the Lake District — a backdrop that truly sets it apart.

Impeccably refurbished throughout, the home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise light and space at every turn. The bespoke kitchen and garden room create a superb heart to the home, while two luxury bathrooms — including an en suite — finished by renowned local specialists Town and Country, reflect the exceptional standard of finish found throughout.

Accommodation is both generous and versatile, comprising a welcoming vestibule and entrance hall, a bright lounge, kitchen/diner, utility room, garden room, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and en suite. Beneath the property, a double garage offers excellent storage and exciting conversion potential for those looking to add further living space.

Outside, the south-facing landscaped gardens have been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, without compromising on charm or kerb appeal. Generous in size and beautifully kept, they provide the ideal setting to soak up the views and make the most of sunny days.

A rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in one of Penrith's most desirable addresses.
