Chain-free extended bungalow on a large plot backing open countryside — ideal for family renovation.
Chain-free extended detached bungalow on a large plot
This chain-free, extended 3-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a large plot in Gosforth, within the Lake District National Park. The house offers a practical layout with bedrooms grouped on one side and living spaces on the other, giving families privacy and flexible living. The rear garden backs onto open countryside, providing seclusion and attractive outlooks.
The property includes substantial scope to modernise: the rear extension provides a second reception room and a well-fitted kitchen that could be combined into an open-plan kitchen-diner (subject to planning). There is ample off-road parking with a large driveway and garage, and potential for a second driveway via an existing gap in the front hedge.
The bungalow is in need of renovation and has dated fixtures and single-glazed windows in places; updating heating, decoration and possibly some services will be required. These works present an opportunity to add value and tailor the interior to modern family life.
Location is a key strength — a semi-rural village with local amenities (bakery, pubs, restaurant) and good road links via the nearby A595. Seascale beach is about a 10-minute drive. The village benefits from low crime, fast broadband and good primary schools close by.
