"RARELY do properties in this location come onto the open market," say estate agents Milne Moser of this detached bungalow at Undercliff Road, Kendal.

Number 9 on this quiet cul-de-sac, near Fellside and Greenside, is on the market for £465,000, with no onward chain.

The three-bedroom property has lovely, open views over Kendal to the hills beyond from its L-shaped lounge diner.

The layout would be ideal for anyone looking to downsize, say the agents, but the bungalow's roof space also has the potential to be developed, subject to planning consent.

The kitchen has room for a dining table and chairs, and there is a fully tiled, modern fitted bathroom, plus a handy cloakroom.

The gardens are well tended, with lawn, chipped areas and a patio perfectly placed for admiring the view. A double garage and ample parking for three cars complete the picture.

Taking a more detailed look at number 9 Undercliff Road, a uPVC double-glazed sliding door at the side leads into the porch, and another glazed door opens into the entrance hallway.

Here, frosted panels let natural light through from the lounge diner, and there are built-in coat and storage cupboards under the stairs.

A large double-glazed window with a view of the 18th hole of Kendal Golf Club, the town and hills beyond makes a real talking point in the lounge diner. A living-flame gas fire is set into a fire surround.

The dining kitchen is fitted with mid oak-shaded base and wall units, with pale marble-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks. Fitted appliances include a fridge, double oven with grill, gas hob with extractor canopy and dishwasher.

The first bedroom is a good-sized double with built-in wardrobes and overhead storage. The second bedroom faces the side, while the third overlooks the back.

The bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite featuring a bath with shower screen and power shower, a range of vanity units with a basin, a loo, an inset mirror with vanity lights, a heated towel rail and a large cupboard with shelves.

The bungalow's attic space is reached via a staircase from the hallway. There is a Velux rooflight at the side, a ceiling light and access to more roof space.

Carefully looked after gardens surround the bungalow on all four sides, with a gently sloping lawn at the front and a patio to sit and take in the view. There is also a lawn and parking at the side, and a paved area at the back and side of the bungalow.

At the front, a generously sized block driveway gives access to the garage, and there is another parking space at the side.

The high-ceilinged garage has a double electric up-and-over door, mezzanine storage area, space for a freezer, plumbing for a washing machine, and a wall-mounted Vaillant boiler.
