Set on an impressive 0.96-acre elevated plot, this three-bedroom detached bungalow delivers sweeping, far-reaching views across Kendal to Morecambe Bay and generous private grounds. The house sits well back from the lane behind a gated driveway and double garage, with mature landscaping, stone paths, rockery and a pond creating a secluded, country feel. An extensive basement/undercroft and the property’s layout provide clear scope to extend, convert or reconfigure to suit a growing family or to create additional accommodation.
Internally the bungalow is arranged for easy single-storey living with multiple reception rooms that take advantage of the panoramic outlook — a living room with log-burning stove, a dining room with balcony terrace, conservatory, sunroom and a sizeable central hallway with built-in storage. There are three generous bedrooms, two en-suites and a family bathroom, with a sensible opportunity to create a fourth bedroom or remodel the kitchen into an open-plan family hub.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is mid-century (c.1950s–1960s) with double glazing but would benefit from updating in places. Heating is by boiler with bulk wood pellets and there is a modest EPC rating (E). Broadband speeds are very slow locally, and council tax is high. These factors, plus the very large plot and basement, are important for buyers considering renovation or development and may affect running costs and future works.
This property suits buyers looking for privacy, significant outdoor space and long-term potential — particularly families seeking a single-storey home with room to adapt, or purchasers wanting to create a bespoke residence in a prominent Kendal position. Its proximity to Kendal town centre and Oxenholme station combines countryside outlook with convenient access to transport links.
