There is a sofa and two arm chairs here, as well as a dining table for two.
The modern kitchen is well equipped, with a fantastic picture window to really make the most of the view - you'll be fighting over who gets to do the cooking or washing up and not the other way around! It is equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge (with ice compartment), and a washer/dryer.
Head a little further along the hallway to find the bedroom and bathroom. The lovely double bedroom is Again decorated in calming neutral shades, and with plenty of storage and hanging space.

At the rear of the bungalow is a delightful garden on several levels - there's a patio and garden furniture at the top with further seating on the lower patio further below down 15 steps. With stunning views towards some of Keswick's best known fells: Skiddaw, Catbells, Causey Pike, Seat How to name but a few. You're sure to feel inspired by this breathtaking panorama.

There is plenty of parking on the road by the property, or you have your own parking space in front of the garage.
