Turnkey single-storey living on a large private plot near Ennerdale.
Newly renovated, neutral contemporary interior throughout
A neat, modern two-bedroom detached bungalow set in peaceful Kirkland, offering a low-maintenance countryside base for downsizers or anyone seeking single-storey living. The interior is recently renovated and presented in neutral, contemporary finishes; the lounge benefits from a log-burning stove and there is a practical dining area adjacent to the kitchen. Outside, mature hedging and a generous plot surround the property, with a rear patio that suits outdoor dining and relaxed evenings.
Practical advantages include a gravel driveway, single garage, and ample parking for several cars. The property is freehold and comes chain free, ready for immediate occupation. Its compact footprint (about 592 sq ft) makes the bungalow economical to manage and straightforward to maintain, ideal if you want less upkeep and easy access to local walking and cycling routes around the Ennerdale Valley.
Notable considerations are factual: the EPC rating is F and heating is by electric storage heaters, which may mean higher running costs than modern gas or heat-pump systems. There is a single shower room and the accommodation is modest in size — buyers should expect bungalow proportions rather than spacious rooms. Broadband speeds are average and the property sits in a remote village setting, which suits those seeking tranquillity but may feel isolated to some.
Overall, the home combines a recently refreshed interior, private garden, and convenient parking with a peaceful rural location. It works well as a retirement residence, a lock-up-and-leave holiday base, or a first home for buyers wanting single-storey living near the Lake District. Budgeting for energy costs and any future improvements to heating or insulation is advised.
