***an individually built and deceptively spacious, detached true bungalow with spectacular lake views***

Situated on a generous, private gated plot, this deceptively spacious detached true bungalow offers a rare opportunity to enjoy flexible, modern living in an idyllic setting. Set within stunning landscaped gardens to the front and rear, the property boasts ample secure parking for numerous vehicles and enjoys complete privacy throughout.

The standout feature of this home is undoubtedly the breathtaking view across the lake, best enjoyed from the beautifully maintained rear garden that gently slopes to the water’s edge, complete with a tranquil seating area for peaceful reflection or alfresco entertaining.

Internally, the bungalow has been thoughtfully modernised and is immaculately presented. A recently fitted, contemporary kitchen offers functionality and style, while the spacious lounge provides a comfortable setting to relax and unwind. The accommodation includes two generously sized double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, plus a third bedroom, currently used as a study, that takes full advantage of the spectacular garden and lake outlook. An additional rear reception room, currently used as a sitting room, provides flexibility and could easily be utilised as a fourth bedroom if so required.

The property also benefits from two well-appointed bathrooms; one featuring a full-size bath, separate shower, WC, bidet, and hand basin, and the other with a compact bath & shower, WC, and vanity hand basin

Externally, the home continues to impress. There is a detached double garage with electric door. Separately there is a practical utility/wash room at the rear, accessed via a separate side door from the outside. To the rear of the utility area lies a magnificent entertainment room measuring 28'1" x 18'8", currently housing a full-size snooker table, with a bar area, and WC., making an ideal space for entertaining guests, or as a teenage retreat. A further outbuilding offers a charming sun room overlooking the garden, with an attached potting shed and workshop to the rear.

The front garden is laid to lawn with a hedge privacy border, while the expansive imprinted concrete driveway offers extensive off-road parking. To the rear, a patio area leads to the beautifully landscaped lawn bordered by mature shrubs and two striking willow trees, descending gently to the water’s edge. A paved bin storage area is located discreetly to the side of the garage, and a small paved courtyard area provides additional outdoor space to the rear of the snooker room.

Furthermore, this beautiful property is well located for local well regarded schools, amenities and travel via the motorway network and the A580; East Lancashire Road.

This unique home really must be viewed to fully appreciate the space, flexibility, and above all the unparalleled, serene lakeside setting it offers.

Cellar And Loft Space

A hatch located in the kitchen leads down into the cellar, which is of a standing height and runs below the majority of the footprint of the bungalow. The previous occupant was an avid wine-collector and as such the cellar is fitted with a vast array of clay-pipes for wine storage (no wine included)! The cellar also has a sump-pump, to prevent rising water and damage in heavy rain season.
