Set on an elevated plot in Ferney Green, this split-level detached house delivers versatile family living with a proven self-contained letting unit. The main level offers a bright lounge with bay seating, a large dining kitchen/conservatory and three bedrooms (two with en‑suites), while the lower ground floor provides a private flatlet ideal for holiday lets or multi‑generational use. Glimpses of Lake Windermere and surrounding fells give the property an attractive outlook without the maintenance demands of waterfront ownership.
Outside there are substantial gardens, patio seating areas, electric gated access, a sweeping driveway and an integral garage — plenty of space for cars and outside entertaining. The house is presented in good decorative order and the accommodation is adaptable, making it straightforward to retain as a family home while generating income from the flatlet if required; current holiday accounts are available on request.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the house dates from the 1970s and while well maintained, some buyers may want to modernise heating or services to current standards. Broadband and mobile signals are described as poor despite fibre being listed, and the property is in Council Tax band G so running costs will be higher than average. The wider area records higher crime levels, which should be weighed against the location benefits and income potential.
Overall this is a substantial, flexible home in a sought-after Lakes fringe location — suitable for a growing family who want room and outlook, or for an investor aiming for a holiday‑let income stream alongside personal use.
