Lynwood, Blindcrake, Cockermouth, Cumbria

Sat on a generous elevated plot (circa 0.97 acres), with wonderful far-reaching views over the Derwent River Valley towards the fells, an immaculate, detached 3 bed bungalow providing flexible accommodation with rare opportunity to extend or develop on a plot within the Lake District National Park.

Located in the heart of a peaceful village within the Lake District National Park, with easy access to Cockermouth to the South and Carlisle to the North, is a most interesting opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow which could be greatly enjoyed as a family home or, subject to necessary permissions, would make an ideal springboard for extension or redevelopment.

Found at the elevated head of the plot, the property, which has been greatly improved in recent years, sits nicely with accommodation comprising a decking veranda which leads to the main entrance hall, living room, which has a corner aspect and bay window to the front to enjoy the expansive views, a modern kitchen dining room, utility hallway and conservatory to the rear.

There are three double bedrooms, two benefitting from built in wardrobes, and a recently renewed shower room.

Externally, the grounds comprise gently sloping gardens to the front, with a curving driveway which leads to a parking / turning areas to the rear of the property, with a substantial wooden storage shed. There is additional vehicle access to the head of the site from an unclassified public road (U2098).

Development Potential:
Our clients have had pre-application planning advice relating to the site from the Lake District Special Planning Board who we are informed would look favourably on the replacement of the existing dwelling with a new property, and also on splitting the site to create an additional, local occupancy, dwelling on the lower half of the plot.

Directions
From Cockermouth head north on the A595 for approximately 2 miles taking the right turn signposted towards Redmain. Follow this road to reach Blindcrake and in the centre of the village the property is on the right hand side, just opposite the village green.
