OVERVIEW
A truly versatile property - the deceptive front appearance gives no hint as the size and layout of the accommodation on offer. Currently used by two generations, the property has been extended and updated - the original railway cottage is on one level with two sitting rooms, a dining room and bedroom. The rear extension is over two floors with a large semi open plan kitchen lounge dining space and two bedrooms (formerly three). There are two kitchens and bathrooms. Externally, the unexpected space continues with off road parking for a number of cars plus a carport, double garage, outbuildings and a good sized rear garden.
UPVC double glazed throughout and gas centrally heated, the property offers buyers the potential to holiday let a proportion of the property for additional income, have space for a dependent relative or combine the two spaces creating a substantial family home. The property is adjacent to Kendal to Windermere railway line and Burneside Cricket (truncated)
