Description Entered via a large enclosed porch conservatory, a lovely light area in which to sit and relax whilst also being an ideal space for storing muddy boots and coat, and dealing with damp dogs. The property opens up into a lovely open plan space with distinct dining and kitchen areas providing space in which to cook, dine and relax after a day on the fells or a hard week at work. The newly fitted kitchen offers a good range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces, stainless steel sink and drainer, having an integrated electric Beko hob, and separate electric Beko oven with a Hygena extractor hood over and laminate flooring. The lounge area is cosy but with plenty of space to sit and relax.

The wonderfully light double bedroom has a large window with traditional shutters overlooking the courtyard garden area. Newly fitted modern three piece shower room comprising a walk in shower with glazed screen, wash hand basin and WC. Also having a heated towel rail. The apartment also has a mezzanine currently used as a further lounge area which would readily double as an occasional bedroom.

The property sits in beautiful communal wooded grounds which offer great privacy whilst giving direct access to the surrounding fells, as well as benefitting from a garden/ courtyard shared with one other property, and a shared lockable store.
