A STUNNING sitting room with vaulted ceiling and balcony is among the many highlights of this superb family home in the Lake District.

Tall Pines, at Troutbeck Bridge, is on the market for £600,000 with Thomson Hayton Winkley.

Featuring four bedrooms and a spacious family dining kitchen, this detached property is close to the bustling town of Windermere with its shops, restaurants, bars and railway station.

Tall Pines is set in attractive, private landscaped grounds on a private drive at the exclusive Keldwyth Park.

The owners have improved and updated the accommodation to create an enviable, modern home, complete with a garage and ample off-road parking.

Setting the scene is a wood-floored entrance hall complete with built-in utility cupboard for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a cloaks cupboard. There is also a handy office area.

The sitting room is a fantastic, light and airy space complete with a multi-fuel burner, two Velux windows and double-glazed patio doors onto the balcony.

The family dining kitchen also has a spacious feeling and features double-glazed French doors, a good range of fitted units, sink, electric oven and grill, electric hob with extractor, built-in dishwasher and fridge, tiled splashbacks, recessed spotlights and engineered-wood flooring.

A double-glazed conservatory with patio doors also has an engineered-wood floor and features an electric heater and wall lights.

The ground floor is home to two bedrooms. Both are en-suite with white three-piece suites, featuring vanity wash basin, shower cubicle with thermostatic shower, toilet, part-tiled walls, tiled floor with underfloor heating, towel radiator and recessed spotlights.

The second bedroom features a dressing area with built-in wardrobe and has access to storage in the boarded loft.

There are two more bedrooms on the lower ground floor of Tall Pines, one of which offers a built-in wardrobe and built-in cupboard housing the gas central heating boiler and hot water cylinder.

A crisp white suite in the family bathroom features a vanity basin, bath with electric shower, toilet, part-tiled walls, shaver point and towel radiator.

Outside, the house is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, well stocked with mature trees, established plants and shrubs to give year-round colour and interest.

Lawns and patio seating areas are located to make the most of the sun, and there are two handy outdoor power points.

Tall Pines offers plenty of off-road parking and there is also a garage with up-and-over door, light, electricity and plumbing for a washing machine.

The house is located close to Windermere with its shops, restaurants, bars and railway station.
