Beautiful views surround Brownthwaite, a lovely home quietly tucked away within a hamlet in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and offered for sale with the benefit of planning permission to extend.

The whitewashed bungalow sits in large grounds in Kearstwick on the fringe of Kirkby Lonsdale.

It has a sitting room with multi-fuel stove in a feature fireplace and a dining room also warmed by a stove. This room could make a fourth bedroom.

The kitchen is charming with on-tend grey cabinets and polished granite floor tiles, appliances and four windows flooding the room with light.

Two double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and a single are off the hallway and they share the four-piece bathroom which boasts a walk-in shower with thermostatic shower, recessed spotlights, an extractor fan and tiling to walls and floor.

A separate cloakroom and utility room with Belfast sink, plumbing for white goods, fitted shelving and polished granite floor tiles complete the layout, along with a front porch.

Outside, a driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles in addition to a garage.

The gardens are not overlooked and have seating areas from which to take full advantage of the beautiful scenery.

They include lawns, mature trees, a greenhouse and a summer house.
