4 bedroom detached house

Description Southern Hey is an impressive Detached Family Home boasting some wonderful traditional features such as original leaded windows, period doors, parquet flooring, high corniced ceilings to note just a few. The Kitchen and Utility room have double glazing, all the other rooms benefit from secondary glazing which can be lifted out (to clean). Typical of the period, the rooms are spacious and bright and there are views towards Morecambe Bay from 2 of the Bedrooms on the first floor. Although some areas of the home are relaxed, comfortable and inviting, others have been well loved for many years and could now perhaps benefit from a little updating. Indeed, the current owners have gone to the trouble of having plans drawn up to make some exciting internal alterations. Currently, however, the fundamentals are certainly there! Well arranged accommodation, pleasing views, manageable outside space and super, convenient location.

The main Entrance door is covered by an impressive sandstone canopy with columns and a date stamp of 1923! This door opens into the Entrance Hall - so spacious that it is definitely an additional Reception Room. Original parquet flooring to the edges, leaded glass windows with lovely, 'art deco' style brick fireplace (not in use), under stairs storage, attractive staircase, wooden panelling and picture rail - a lovely bright, atmospheric room. The Lounge is a very well proportioned, sunny room with dual aspect. Original leaded glass walk-in bay window, corniced ceiling and 'art deco' fireplace housing the open fire.

The Kitchen is spacious and well laid out enjoying a rear aspect and is furnished with an extensive range of light 'wood' wall and base cabinets with breakfast bar. Inset stainless steel sink, built-in ceramic hob and electric oven, integrated fridge and dishwasher. Internal window and sliding door to the Utility Room. Very spacious indeed, in fact, the size of the average kitchen. Recessed shelved cupboards, base units and sink. The Rear Lobby, Boiler Room and useful Cloakroom can be found off the Utility Room. External side entrance door. There is of course the possibility to rearrange the configuration here to create a larger Family Room with Kitchen for example and still have a Utility Room and Cloaks - whatever works for you!

From the Dining Hall the attractive feature staircase leads to the First Floor Landing which is also spacious with lovely, original doors leading to all rooms. Bedroom 1 is a generous double Bedroom with original double leaded glass window which provides a delightful view towards Morecambe Bay and the fells beyond. Access to the undeveloped Attic Room. Partially boarded with power, light and window - needless to say, this provides further opportunities too! Bedrooms 2 and 3 are doubles and Bedroom 4 is a good sized single room. Bedroom 2 has a raised corner bath! and enjoys views towards the Bay. Bedroom 3 has a useful bank of built in wardrobes and along with Bedroom 4, has a pleasing aspect to the front. The Bathroom is tiled and comprises pedestal wash hand basin, bath with shower over and airing cupboard. The separate WC is next door.

Externally there is a single Garage with up and over door, power and light. Parking is provided for 3-4 on the brick set driveway and single space to the front of the property.

The Garden is to the side and rear and has an area of level lawn and some pleasant mature plants and shrubs including a productive apple tree. 

Location Located opposite the excellent Primary School, Grange over Sands also provides amenities such as Medical Centre, Post Office, Railway Station, Library, Shops, Cafes/Tea Rooms, the wonderful Edwardian Promenade and Ornamental Gardens. Approximately 20 minutes from the M6 Motorway and a similar distance from the base of Lake Windermere.

To reach the property proceed up Main Street to the mini roundabout and turn left along the Esplanade, just before the Fire Station on the left turn right into Fernhill Road. Follow the hill upwards and around to the left, where it becomes Fell Drive. Southern Hey can be found on the right hand side, opposite Grange Primary School.
