Blackbeck, Egremont, CA22

Situated in the hamlet of Blackbeck, on the very edge of the village of Beckermet, this substantial, four bedroom, detached dormer bungalow offers an idyllic retreat with all the conveniences of modern living. Its prime location near the A595 provides easy access to neighbouring towns and employment centres, whilst proximity to the National Park offers the perfect base from which to explore the stunning natural landscapes, with remarkable views of Scafell, the western fells, and rolling countryside enjoyed from every elevation.

Occupying an extensive plot of approximately 0.75 acres (0.3 hectares), the external space features lush lawns, ample off-road parking, and a versatile outbuilding - which could be utilised for various purposes, from storage to hobby space. The large, integral garage, equipped with an inspection pit, opens up possibilities for conversion into a granny annexe or additional living quarters, especially with the convenient downstairs WC and store room located nearby. This flexibility renders the property ideally suitable for extended families or those seeking ancillary accommodation (pending the necessary permissions).
