House For Sale £575,000
Description: This listing really is a one off and quite a privilege to sell. The current vendor had this property built to his very own specification in 1978 and it has been owned, much loved and enjoyed by him and his family ever since. With some degree of sadness, Bankfield is now offered for sale to a lucky new family to hopefully enjoy for the next 40 years or so!
Well presented and in good, well-maintained condition, Bankfield is light and sunny throughout with spacious, well proportioned rooms and excellent views from every window! To the front stunning, open views towards the Yorkshire Fells and Pennines can be enjoyed, the rear is not at all over looked and has super country views.
The glass double front doors open into the pleasant Entrance Porch with ceramic tiled floor and then into the Hallway. The spacious Hallway is 'L' shaped and provides access to the Ground Floor Rooms. Off the Hallway is the Cloak Room, which is spacious, with WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
The Lounge is particularly generous (full depth) and enjoys a triple aspect. The front windows have wonderful far-reaching views of the fells in the distance, which, incidentally, appear to change from minute to minute, and the rear window to open fields. There is an attractive fireplace with a gas fire set into a polished stone surround. The formal Dining Room is also located to the front so as to enjoy more of those delightful views. The Kitchen is very workable with enough space for a breakfast table and enjoys a rear aspect. It is furnished with a range of wooden wall and base cabinets with inset stainless steel sink unit. There is a built in electric oven with cooker hood over the gas hob and space for under-counter fridge. A door leads to the Utility Room, which again is larger than the average, and which has an external door, a range of wall and base cabinets, stainless steel sink and plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher. Wall mounted gas central heating boiler and a door to Integral Garage.
The stairs from the Hallway lead up to the gallery style Landing which has a charming picture window from which to admire those superb views. There is also a loft hatch with pull down ladder. The loft is partially boarded with electric light and provides excellent storage space. The Landing gives access to all four Bedrooms and Bathroom. All 4 Bedrooms are doubles, two enjoy the rear aspect, one with built-in wardrobe and one currently used as a Study. The two front Bedrooms enjoy those superb far reaching, ever changing views. The Master Bedroom is especially large having been extended over the garage in 1999. This lovely room is more of a suite with Dressing Area and double sliding doors lead out onto the fabulous balcony which is a wonderfully inviting space, especially for morning coffee or evening wine perhaps or simply to just admire those stunning views! The En-Suite Shower Room comprises corner shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin on a large vanitory unit.
Externally the property is no less pleasing with well tended plants and shrubs and immaculately kept lawn to the front. The lawn is a good size with a very impressive mature rose border and superb rose bushes just outside the front door. There is a well stocked border with a variety of mature shrubs just across the entrance drive. The rear adjoins open fields and is paved for ease and is not overlooked - there is a lovely raised seating area and greenhouse.
The Integral Garage is accessed from the Utility Room and is well-proportioned with remote controlled up and over door. There is ample parking for 2/3 vehicles on the private driveway.
Location: This property is located in the popular and friendly Village of Lindale. Lindale is a small village within the Lake District National Park which has a lovely Primary School, Village Hall. Bowling Green and Public House/Restaurant.
Approximately 15 minutes from the M6 Motorway at Junction 36 and roughly 10 minutes from the base of Lake Windermere at Fell Foot. Lindale is conveniently situated to venture into the South Lakes with Grange-over-Sands only 2 miles away offering rail connections and more extensive shopping and amenities.
From the A590 travelling in the direction of Barrow in Furness, take the left on Lindale Hill towards Lindale, proceed down the hill and take the first right opposite the Royal Oak Public House. Bankfield driveway is the seond drive on the right hand side.
