THIS week's featured property is a spacious detached bungalow in a sought-after part of Kendal.

Applerigg is an attractive cul-de-sac on the north side of town, just off Burneside Road. Number 10 is on the market with Lancastrian Estates for £335,000.

The bungalow is just 15 minutes' walk away from the shops and cafes of Kendal town centre.

It is likely to appeal to a wide variety of buyers, from couples to families to retired people - in fact, anyone who is looking to update and put their own stamp on a property in a desirable area of Kendal.

At a glance, this neatly presented property offers an open-plan living space, two double bedrooms, a fully fitted Siematic kitchen with Miele appliances and Pergo floor, gas central heating and double glazing.

The loft has the potential to be converted to create extra rooms, subject to planning consent.

There is plenty of off-road parking, an attached garage with roll-up door and a useful, dry undercroft ideal for storing bikes and canoes.

The south-west facing back garden is the perfect spot for a barbecue, and there is also a good-sized front garden.

Making maximum use of space, the entrance lobby features two full-height cupboards, one for storage and the other for laundry, with plumbing for a washing machine.

The open-plan living room feels light and airy thanks to windows to the front and side, and a feature fireplace.

Both double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and windows overlooking the private back garden.

The estate agents say the loft has "fantastic potential" to create extra bedrooms and a bathroom, subject to the necessary planning permission from the local council.

The family bathroom has a four-piece Sottini suite including a low-level bath with chrome mixer tap, pedestal basin, large walk-in shower with sliding glass doors and Grohe chrome fittings, complementary tiling, and a toilet.

Behind the bungalow is the south-west facing garden with its lawn and large sculpted borders including mature trees, plants and bark mulching. It's the ideal place for children to run around and play.

A raised, full-width patio has been created from stone chippings, making a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the sun.

The undercroft space below the house offers useful storage, and to the front is off-road parking and a small garden, mainly lawned.

The agents sum up Number 10 Applerigg as "highly recommended to those seeking a larger than average bungalow in a fantastic setting close to local amenities yet very private".

They say it must be viewed "to appreciate the fantastic potential for a wide variety of purchasers".

The property is close to a bus stop offering a regular service to the town centre, and Oxenholme railway station is a short drive away, as is the Lake District National Park.
