Set in the sought-after Eden Valley village of Great Salkeld, this detached three-bedroom bungalow occupies a very large, private plot of around one third of an acre with mature wraparound gardens and countryside views. The single-storey layout includes a generous lounge, dining room, conservatory, fitted kitchen with oil AGA, utility room, principal bedroom with en-suite, and a boarded attic that offers clear scope for conversion (subject to consents).
The house is offered freehold and chain free, with a long driveway and detached garage providing ample parking and storage. The plot backs onto open fields, making it an attractive prospect for anyone wanting privacy, outdoor space and easy access to country walks while remaining just five miles from Penrith.
The property will suit buyers seeking a spacious family home or those wanting a renovation/refurbishment project to create a bespoke residence. Key positives include the size of the plot, scope to extend or convert the attic, and the peaceful village setting. Practical considerations include older double glazing, dated internal fittings and a need for general modernisation throughout.
Buyers should note the heating and services situation: an oil-fired boiler/AGA is present but other records reference electric storage heaters; prospective purchasers should verify heating specification and running costs. External stone walls are likely uninsulated and the bungalow will benefit from investment to improve energy performance and update finishes. Viewing is essential to appreciate the plot and potential.
