Set on a large plot within a quiet cul-de-sac in Orton, this detached three-bedroom house offers roomy family accommodation and strong outdoor appeal. The property sits in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and benefits from a three-car driveway, integral garage, patio and an extensive rear lawn with woodland — ideal for family life and wildlife lovers.
Internally the layout is straightforward and practical: entrance porch, generous lounge with French doors, open-plan kitchen diner, utility and ground-floor WC, with three double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The home is spacious throughout but shows signs of dated finishes (1980s/1990s decor) and will suit buyers willing to refresh cosmetic elements to their own taste.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is by electric storage and convector heaters with hot water from an immersion tank, broadband speeds are slow for the area, and there is a medium flood risk. Council tax is above average. These factors keep running costs and some future upgrade work on the checklist for interested buyers.
For families seeking village life with excellent local amenities — school, shop/post office, pub and regular farmers’ market — plus easy M6 access to Penrith and Kendal, this property represents a roomy, private base in a protected rural setting with genuine scope to modernise and increase value.
