Offering versatile accommodation, refined interiors and the potential for a self-contained annex, Lowfell is an exceptional opportunity not to be missed.

Arnside is a sought-after and charming coastal village located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the southern edge of Cumbria, just a stone's throw from the Lake District National Park. Nestled on the banks of the Kent Estuary, Arnside offers breathtaking views, coastal walks, and a welcoming community atmosphere.

Whether you're strolling along the promenade, watching the tidal bore, or exploring nearby countryside and woodlands, Arnside offers a lifestyle rich in natural beauty and outdoor adventure.

For those who enjoy a walk short or long, there is an easily accessible pretty woodland and thence either down to the estuary for a beach walk, and maybe for a snack, homemade cake and a cuppa at the Bob In - or walk further to the top of Arnside Knott.
All in all a walkers' paradise!

Lowfell is a beautifully presented, detached family home that effortlessly blends timeless elegance with contemporary design. Tucked away in a quiet, leafy lane, the property greets you with striking brickwork, landscaped greenery, and ample private parking for three vehicles to the front, with the potential for a fourth space within the spacious double garage.

Upon entering through the welcoming porch, you are led into the heart of the home; a breath-taking open-plan hand painted Atlantis kitchen. Flooded with natural light, this space showcases sleek, neutral cabinetry, granite worktops, mirrored splashbacks, and not one, but two central islands complete with breakfast seating. This is a kitchen designed for entertaining and family life, featuring high-end Neff appliances, including an induction hob with integrated extractor, warming drawer, two double ovens, full-length fridge and freezer, and additional pantry storage. The Quooker boiling water tap adds a touch of everyday luxury.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the light-filled conservatory, providing a relaxed living area with views and access to the delightful rear garden. The ground floor also boasts a well-appointed double bedroom with en-suite, and two further versatile bedrooms, ideal as guest rooms, home offices or a snug, overlooking the garden. A stunning family bathroom features a freestanding bath, dual-headed walk-in shower, heritage-style basin and WC.

The formal dining room is perfect for entertaining, with front aspect window seating, while the spacious living room offers dual aspect views, sliding patio doors to the garden, and a cosy wood burner. A staircase leads to the principal bedroom suite, an elegant and serene space with garden views, generous wardrobe storage and a private en-suite with WC, bidet, vanity and basin.

The property's ancillary wing offers further flexibility, ideal for multigenerational living or conversion into a self-contained annex. This side includes a utility room, downstairs cloakroom, and internal access to the double garage.

The double garage itself is a superb feature, currently used for parking and as a workshop, it is equipped with light, power, two up-and-over doors, and sink. This flexible space could easily serve as additional parking, hobby space, or future development.

Upstairs in the ancillary wing are two additional double bedrooms, one currently used as a study with a Velux and feature round window, and the other offering built-in storage, sloped ceilings, Velux windows, and a modern en-suite with corner shower, vanity unit and WC. A large landing with integrated storage and another round window completes this wing.

Externally, Lowfell enjoys a stunning wraparound garden, a private and tranquil haven with a sun-soaked decking area, mature planting, lawned areas, and a picturesque rockery garden. To the rear, a shed offers additional storage, while a covered courtyard to the side provides a practical space for bins and garden equipment.
