Description: This four-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow is situated in the picturesque village of Levens and offers a truly elevated living experience. Step inside and be greeted by the spacious open plan style living room, perfect for relaxing and entertaining where the large windows flood the room with natural light, while offering breath-taking views of the Kent Estuary and the majestic Lake District fells.

The popular village of Levens is situated on the fringe of the Lake District National Park and boasts a pub with good food and a village store, whilst the bustling market town of Kendal with its independent shops, bars, restaurants is just six miles away. Set on an elevated site, the property boasts well-tended gardens and with no upward chain an early appointment to view is highly recommended. 

Location: Levens Village can be approached from either the A6 or A590 and enjoys a position on the edge of the South Lakeland National Park with easy access to the M6 motorway and road and rail networks. Levens enjoys a thriving community and still boasts a traditional village store, fine church, inn, village hall and primary school, and has easy access to the market towns of Kendal and Milnthorpe.

Entering Levens from the south, continue past the primary school and at the village shop, bear right into Main Street. At the junction continue straight ahead onto Brigsteer Road, following the road along taking the left-hand turn signposted for Brigsteer and Underbarrow. Continue along and just before the 30mph zone, take a right-hand turn up a shared private drive; take the first right and as the drive splits take the left fork signposted Erquy, where parking is available at the bottom of the drive or continue up to the top where a parking space can be found to the side of the garage.
