The sale of Windermere presents a unique opportunity to acquire a traditional detached dwelling in a highly sought-after location, with spacious accommodation across two floors, perfectly suited for family living. Internally, the dwelling would benefit from some sympathetic modernising and updating but allows a purchaser to renovate to their own personal taste.

An inner hallway presents access to a useful utility room, a pantry offering storage, a cloakroom with w.c, and a pleasant conservatory. Climbing to the first floor, the dwelling presents three good-sized double bedrooms, a wide landing lending itself to a study or reading area, and a family bathroom hosting a bath, basin, w.c, and an airing cupboard.

The property is pleasantly set-back away from the roadside, with a gated driveway giving entrance into a spacious yard area providing much parking for multiple vehicles with good access into the garage and outbuildings. Impressive lawned gardens and patio areas wrap around the dwelling, perfect for those who are green fingered, including planted borders, a rockery, and separate orchard and attractive pond area. A perimeter of mature trees offers a degree of privacy, with pleasant countryside outlooks.
Outbuildings and Land
Within the yard area, the property offers a range of stone-built outbuildings with huge potential for conversion whether that be for holiday or annexed accommodation to provide an ancillary living space, subject to all the necessary planning consents. Alternatively, the outbuildings provide opportunity to house small livestock, horses and/or be utilised as a workshop/general storage etc. A useful double garage presents a further outbuilding offering undercover parking and/or storage, with a small workshop to the side.
The land at the property comprises a paddock laying flat, locating to the west of the dwelling, suitable for grazing of small livestock and/or horses and mowing. The paddock is all down to grassland in good heart, bounded by dry stone walling and hedgerow, and of manageable acreage suiting those with hobby farming/equestrian interests, and who are seeking the amenity aspects of life.
