Property Overview A typical apartment this is not! Elegantly spacious and endlessly stylish, 2 Oaklands is a delight from start to finish. Perfectly presented and now ready for new owners to enjoy.

Entering the property via entrance porch which has a fabulous, contemporary tiled floor, perfect for dealing with muddy boots, dogs or children, and leads seamlessly to the reception hallway which benefits from underfloor heating. Steps here lead down to the basement whilst a beautiful Victorian banister and staircase lead to the accommodation above.

The landing is wonderfully light thanks to the Velux roof light, and there is a real sense of spaciousness, setting the scene for the rest of this beautiful home.

Through to the beautiful open plan dining kitchen which has a characterful timber floor, modern white wall and base units including a dedicated pantry cupboard and featuring soft close doors and drawers, complemented with a Quartz worktop and an inset stainless steel sink with Quooker tap over. The jaw dropping views of Wansfell from the sink provide an excellent distraction whilst dealing with the washing up, there may be a fight over who gets to do it! Integrated Neff appliances include an induction 5 ring hob with extractor over, double oven, automatic washing machine and a dishwasher, everything one could need for modern day living.

Into the welcoming dining area which is ideal for family meals or entertaining, plus there are lovely views to Loughrigg from here!

The sitting room is truly magnificent boasting 3 large windows flooding the room with natural light and being an ideal place to sit and take in the views to Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe. With high ceiling and coving adding to the sense of grandeur, the Yeoman stove set upon its slate hearth with timber mantle over, making this a sumptuous room in which to relax and gather with friends and family, perhaps whilst planning which of the Lakeland fells to tackle next.

There are three double bedrooms, all en suite whether that be including a bath, shower or both. Bedroom one is especially lovely and light thanks to its dual aspect and has views to Loughrigg and beyond to the Fairfield Horseshoe. A truly peaceful and elegant room. The en suite has tiled walls and floor and a four piece suite comprising a panel bath, wash hand basin set within a vanity style unit, Bristan rainfall shower with separate hand attachment, and WC. This en suite also has a heated ladder style towel rail/radiator and underfloor heating - a real treat for bare feet!

Bedroom two is also a spacious double with high ceiling and characterful coving and views to Wansfell. The en suite has a three piece suite comprising a Bristan rainfall shower with separate hand attachment, wash basin set above a vanity unit, and WC. Additionally there is a heated ladder style towel rail.

The third double bedroom is filled with light from the two windows, side by side they give excellent views of Loughrigg. Again this bedroom benefits from a lovely high ceiling and coving adding to the sense of spaciousness. This en suite bathroom has a panel bath with Bristan rainfall shower over, wash basin set above a vanity style unit and WC.

Down to the basement on the lower ground floor; a huge benefit with masses of storage space or perhaps as a home gym if so desired.

Upon entering the basement area there is a dedicated cloakroom area with tiled floor, leading to further rooms the largest of which benefits from underfloor heating. This room has a utility area with stainless steel sink and drainer, fitted storage units and an integrated Beko fridge freezer - particularly useful as an overflow fridge/freezer when entertaining or at Christmas and an external door leading to the side of the property with pedestrian access to Millans Park.

Outside is a private electric car charging point, an allocated parking space, plus use of two further spaces for visitors available on a first come first served basis. (Additionally, if you are a full time resident an on street resident parking permit and one on street visitor permit is also available.)

The property enjoys well maintained communal grounds with attractive trees and shrubbery, and there is an external tap to aid car washing should you need it.

Whether you are seeking a successful holiday let, a peaceful weekend retreat or a comfortable family home, 2 Oaklands has everything you might desire, come and see.
