AN ATTRACTIVE detached bungalow with mature gardens and a paddock is for sale in the rural village of Heversham, close to Kendal.

Sundown is a spacious four-bedroom home with lovingly maintained flowering beds and a manicured lawn to the front, on the market with Armitstead Barnett for offers in the region of £425,000.

Behind the bungalow, a vegetable garden and orchard area are set among the sloping lawn, and a patio makes the ideal spot for sitting out on fine, sunny days.

Inside, the well-proportioned rooms have been recently upgraded in parts by the vendors, but there is still plenty of opportunity for buyers to add their own style.

The entrance vestibule leads to a roomy hall, with access to reception rooms and storage.

There's a bright and welcoming feel to the lounge, which is light and spacious, with bay windows overlooking the pretty front gardens and another window to the side.

The seating area is cosily set around a gas fireplace, with an open arch into another sitting area.

The L-shaped open kitchen/diner is ideal for modern family living and gatherings. Recently updated, it offers a good range of wall and base cabinets with contrasting wood worktops.

The kitchen is well equipped with a range cooker, gas hob, sink and drainer, and electric points for a dishwasher and washing machine. A tiled floor and glazed doors opening onto to the back garden complete this fantastic space, plus a door into the garage.

There is also an additional formal dining space, with access from the kitchen and a window to the side.

Sundown features four bedrooms, three of them double. The master bedroom at the rear of the bungalow has fitted cupboards to one wall and an en-suite shower room. One of the bedrooms is fitted with glazed doors into a conservatory, offering seating and access to the rear gardens - a lovely morning room for starting the day with coffee and the newspapers.

The family bathroom has a three-piece suite - bath with electric power shower, hand basin and toilet - and is finished with tiled flooring. The airing cupboard offers plenty of excellent storage space.

Outside, Sundown's large driveway gives ample parking space and there is also a car port, and a double garage with electricity and lots of scope for storage.

The bungalow's spacious plot extends to 0.67 acres, and beyond the gardens is a paddock enclosure, used as an extension to the garden and orchard, but with potential for a range of different uses.

Set back from the main road, the property is reached via a shared drive, leading to the private driveway. Heversham village is ideally placed for junction 36 of the M6 motorway and Oxenholme railway station, and is just a short drive from Milnthorpe, with its many shops and businesses.
