Description
Embrace a unique rural lifestyle at this extended three-bedroom detached bungalow, nestled in the idyllic Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). With gardens and a paddock exceeding four acres, this property offers endless opportunities for those seeking space and tranquillity, complemented by fabulous frontal views over the estuary.
Anthorn, a peaceful village on the south side of the Solway Firth, is approximately 13 miles west of Carlisle and 10 miles from Wigton. The property is situated off the main village road on an unadopted, no-through road, ensuring privacy and a sense of seclusion.
A driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the single garage. The garage features an up-and-over door at the front and a rear access door. This is connected to a charming garden room – a perfect spot to enjoy views of the gardens and paddock.
Inside the property you enter into a welcoming hallway that provides access to the home's main accommodation. The open-plan lounge diner is a bright and airy space, benefiting from dual aspect windows to the side and patio doors to the front, framing the estuary views. A central stove serves as the main heating source for the property, supplemented by electric storage heaters, creating a cosy atmosphere.
The kitchen, located to the rear of the living room, is well-equipped with a range of wall and base units with complementing worktop sand splashbacks. It includes an integrated eye-level oven, electric hob, sink with drainer and appointed spaces for a microwave, fridge, and freezer.
The bungalow features three comfortable double bedrooms, offering ample space for rest and relaxation. The spacious bathroom is designed with a corner bath, a walk-in shower, and a sink, alongside a separate toilet with its own sink for added convenience.
Externally, mature gardens wrap around the front and sides of the property, providing picturesque outdoor spaces. To the rear, a large paddock with its own separate gated access awaits. In addition to the garage and garden room, the property boasts two further outbuildings: a former pig shed with an adjacent store, and former stables. While these outbuildings offer excellent potential, they require some maintenance.
