3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Roll Out The Shagpile Carpet! This sprawling modernist style bungalow is a fabulous 1970’s throwback. It needs updating, so you could bring it into the 21st century or be bold and make the most of the retro kitchen, glass doors and wood panel ceilings. 

This spacious three bedroom bungalow brings a little bit of 1970’s Californian single storey style to leafy Camerton.

It’s chain free and however you decide to update it, there’s quite a lot of work required - but with a property like this, isn’t that the exciting part?

You approach up a quiet, leafy lane that heads out of the village. A couple of tins of Sandtex Brilliant White would really make the two bold blocks of render ‘pop’ and would make the exposed exterior brickwork standout.

There’s parking on the drive infront of the built in garage on the ground floor. The garage has an up and over door that could be a much more exciting shade than the current brown…

There’s steps up to the main entrance on the first floor. Or if you’re the kind of person who actually parks the car in the garage, you can use the spiral staircase leading up from the garage / utility to the conservatory attached to the lounge.

The main living accommodation on the first floor is split into three main areas that you can see from outside the house.

Looking at it from the front, the right hand side has a spacious lounge, the conservatory and a separate dining room. Cool glass doors separate the rooms.

Placing the living room and conservatory here makes a lot of architectural sense as this gives you fabulous views over the rooftops towards the distant fells.

The middle section is home to the entrance (with a WC just off the hall) and the kitchen. Depending on your tastes you’ll either want to rip out the current units and bring the kitchen bang up to date or you could go all-in and make the most of the bright yellow fitted units and matching tiles.

If you were thinking of fitting a modern kitchen it may be worth considering knocking through to the dining room to make a more open, sociable space.

The three bedrooms and shower room are all on the left hand side of the house, on a slightly raised level accessed via a couple of steps from the hall. All three bedrooms are a good size and the shower room is the most modern and up to date in the house.

When it comes to outside space it’s all pretty low maintenance. There’s a paved terrace at the front and a private walled garden at the side, accessed through the utility room.

If you’re thinking that this could be an inspiring place to bring up the family, the ‘Outstanding’ Seaton Academy is only 5 minutes drive away.

Seaton is the nearest village - along with the village hall there’s a pub, a Chinese takeaway and a couple of local shops. 

It’s less than 10 minutes drive to Workington and only 20 minutes to Cockermouth. 

The unique styling and quiet village setting overlooking the fells would also make it a great holiday home or holiday let that would appeal to guests looking for a memorable place to stay.

With the work required this property project is certainly not for the faint hearted but you can’t fail to be inspired by the unique opportunity on offer.
