Two Acres is a substantial bungalow set in it's own private grounds with wonderful open views, generous internal space, and having the benefits of large double garages and a stable block. In it's current configuration, it is split into two dwellings, with the main house being a three-bed home and the 'Annexe' alongside being a two-bed bungalow which is currently used as a successful holiday let. The property is ideal for buyers looking for a home with an income, or perhaps those searching for property to support inter-generational living. Alternatively, there is the potential to convert the bungalow into one single large home.
The property was completely refurbished around 2015 to include a new roof over all the buildings, re-plastered internally throughout, new glazing, and re-wiring, so you know you are buying into a well sorted and cared for home.
The summary of the accommodation is: House One - Kitchen/diner, beautiful living room with vaulted ceiling and wide bifolds, three bedrooms with the master being ensuite, and a family bathroom. House Two (The Annexe) comprises of an entrance hall, living room, two double bedrooms with the master being ensuite, and a family bathroom. Heating is by oil-fired boilers and it is all fully double glazed.
Outside there are two large brick built garages (7m x 4m) and a stable block. To the front of the property is a large gravel courtyard facilitating parking for multiple vehicles and there are generous gardens to the rear with a patio, lawn and mature trees. There are views over open countryside from the boundaries of the property.
Two Acres is located down a country lane just off the A590 which is the main road leading to Barrow & Furness meaning you can hear some road noise from the gardens. Kendal is just 5 miles away and the Lake District National Park is just a short drive away as is the M6, which can be accessed at Junction 36.
