Detached House
This unique three bed detached bungalow is situated on the highly sought after Fairladies estate in St Bees. Notably, it is one of only three bungalows on the entire estate and occupies a large corner plot with space around it to extend (subject to permission), and boasts far reaching views over the rooftops towards St Bees Head and the Irish Sea. It has been under the same ownership since new, presenting a rare opportunity for a buyer to customise and style it to their own specifications.
The interior provides generous accommodation, beginning with an inviting entrance hallway that leads into a spacious lounge and a separate dining area, complete with patio doors leading to an elevated decked patio at the rear (the decking was erected some time ago and may require attention). The modern kitchen is well appointed and provides access to the integral garage. The principal bedroom features an ensuite shower room, while two additional double bedrooms and a 4 piece family bathroom ensure ample space for family and guests.
Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking for 2 - 3 cars, in addition to a single integral garage. The extensive gardens to the side and rear enhance the appeal of this home, featuring terraces of lawn and an elevated decked balcony/patio with a useful undercroft, ideal for storage. This property represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in a desirable location, ready for personalisation and enjoyment.
