The property boasts stunning views of the river and the Kentmere Fells, providing a peaceful rural setting on the edge of the Lake District National Park.

A door from the kitchen leads to a convenient cloakroom, equipped with a washing machine, a W.C, and a wash hand basin. This space is practical for everyday needs.

As you ascend the stairs, you reach a landing that provides access to a boarded loft, offering additional storage potential. An over-stairs airing cupboard houses the Valliant boiler.

The main bedroom is a bright and spacious double room, looking out on to the River Kent and across the Valley over to Potter Fell. The second bedroom overlooks the rear patio and seating area. This versatile space can be used as a single bedroom, a study, or even a storage room, depending on your needs.

The bathroom is tastefully decorated, featuring a modern three-piece suite, including a P-shaped panel bath with a shower overhead, a wash hand basin, and a WC.

At the end of the terrace, there is a carport, one of four available. Additionally, the property benefits from a parking space in the private, communal parking area at the front with a view overlooking the weir.
