Description
Deceptively spacious, this split level semi detached bungalow in the beautiful Great Langdale Valley is a real joy - perfectly located for ready access to the heart of the Lakeland fells it currently provides an excellent holiday home in a most popular location.
Enjoying lovely views, the well presented accommodation has characterful features including a vaulted ceiling with exposed roofing timbers in the sitting room. Additionally there is a separate dining room, a fitted kitchen, three double bedrooms, two luxury bath/shower rooms, easily maintained gardens and parking for three cars.
The welcoming entrance porch is lovely and light, having ample space for storing damp coats, muddy boots or dealing with soggy dogs. Making clever use of this space is an integrated utility style cupboard with plumbing provision for an automatic washing machine, all neatly tucked away, and also housing the Worcester central heating boiler.
The generous dining room has a beamed ceiling and is ideal for entertaining friends and family, or perhaps tackling a large jigsaw should the weather prove inclement. An open gallery overlooking the sitting room below gives a glimpse of the splendid sitting room with its imposing vaulted ceiling and exposed timber beams this room certainly has the wow factor. Having lovely views looking south and south west, this is a rather special room in which to relax after a hard day on the fells in front of the woodburning stove set upon a raised hearth - wonderfully cosy on those cooler evenings.
The stylish kitchen also has exposed timber beams, tiled walls and is fitted with attractive wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and a half with drainer and mixer tap.The drawers and cupboards are soft closing and there is ample storage space for the creative cook. Integrated appliances include a Beko 4 ring ceramic hob set above a CDA oven with extractor hood over, a Beko dishwasher, and a large CDA fridge freezer.
The primary bedroom is a generous and comfortable double, benefitting from an integrated wardrobe, whilst steps down lead to a luxury en suite shower room featuring a large shower unit, and wash hand basin and WC set within a vanity style unit. With exposed beams, tiled walls and a heated ladder style towel rail radiator ensuring a warm towel is always to hand.
There are two further double bedrooms both having views to the surrounding fells, and a modern bathroom with tiled walls and a three piece suite comprising a panel bath with Mira shower over, pedestal wash hand basin, and WC as well as having a heated ladder style towel rail.
From the inner hallway there is access to the very large loft space having potential for extending the living space (with necessary consents) which has been boarded out currently providing excellent additional storage space.
Outside are easily managed patio areas, providing a number of options when it comes to choosing where to enjoy that morning coffee, perhaps whilst deciding which of the Wainwright fells to tick off that day. Alternatively, what a great spot for an evening barbecue should the weather allow. Also having an outside tap and light point.
This property enjoys private car parking space for three cars.
This warm and inviting home in this fabulous location is sure to attract a lot of attention - don't miss out!
Location Christmas Cottage is ideally situated a short walk from the centre of the village of Chapel Stile, the local shop and the popular Wainwright's Inn. It occupies the perfect location for immediate access to both beautiful low level walks and to the dramatic high fells which surround the great Langdale Valley, here in the very heart of the Lake District National Park.
