Set on the elevated fringe of Appleby-in-Westmorland, this recently extended and fully modernised semi-detached bungalow offers low-maintenance, single-level living ideal for downsizers or anyone seeking a compact, ready-to-move-into home. The 2023 works include a new roof, updated wiring, plumbing and a modern gas boiler and radiators, so major systems are fresh. Accommodation is practical: two double bedrooms (master with ensuite), living room, modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a useful garden room with power and lights.
Externally the plot is a genuine asset for the size — off-street parking to the side, a neat front lawn and a repaved rear terrace with a contemporary wooden outbuilding that makes a flexible home office, hobby room or snug. From the rear there are pleasant elevated views towards the hills. The property is chain-free and a short, level walk (about 10 minutes) from Appleby town centre and local amenities.
Be aware this is a small bungalow (approx. 571 sq ft) with the layout and footprint that suit reduced-mobility living or a quieter household rather than large families. Walls are standard cavity construction with no confirmed added insulation (assumed), and broadband speeds are average locally. The area records above-average crime statistics compared with national figures — buyers should satisfy themselves on security and local services.
Overall this is a tidy, modernised bungalow that minimises immediate maintenance and offers sensible scope for small improvements. It will suit someone wanting comfortable single-storey living close to town, easy access to the Lake District and low ongoing upkeep — viewing recommended to appreciate the internal layout and garden room.
