Shepherds Croft, Kirkcambeck, Brampton, CA8 2BQ.

Full Details

Shepherds Croft is a spacious and versatile three bedroom detached bungalow sitting on a plot of 0.25 acres, situated in the idyllic hamlet of Kirkcambeck with impressive views of the countryside. The bungalow features a flexible ground floor layout with two reception rooms, modern kitchen with integrated appliances, three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and scope for attic conversion. Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking which can accommodate several vehicles, a single detached garage and extensive gardens.

The Accommodation

The front door welcomes a bright porch with secondary door to the main hallway which leads to the kitchen, living space, three bedrooms and family bathroom. There is ample room in the hallway entrance for storage and a hatch allows access to the partially boarded loft where there could be scope to convert subject to the necessary planning consents.

The bungalow features a contemporary living and entertaining space with modern Karndean flooring, LED spotlights and multi-fuel built-in stove flowing nicely through to the separate dining room where there are sliding glass doors providing access to the patio and garden. The kitchen was upgraded approximately two years ago including new counter worktops, new dishwasher and induction hob. There is also a single oven and space above for a combination microwave, 1.5 bowl drainer sink with mixer tap and plenty of floor and wall fitted kitchen units. Off the kitchen there is a useful utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, further storage cupboard and a step to the the rear porch where the boiler is located. There is also a modern shower room off the utility which has been recently tiled and fitted with a new shower. A WC with fitted sink and vanity unit completes the shower room.

There are three generous double bedrooms at the back of the property as well as a spacious family bathroom which is perfectly useable but may require some modernising.

Externally, the property is accessed via a driveway from the main road through metal gates. The driveway continues past the bungalow to a single, detached garage at the rear with pitched roof and side door access. The garage with electric powered up and over door and a range of cupboards and work top fitted would make a great little workshop also. The gardens feature an extensive lawn as well as an array of different plants, bushes, potting shed and greenhouse, compost corner, and rear and side patio. The River Cambeck is accessible via steps from the main lawn.

There are solar panels with feed-in tariff on the roof of the front elevation and we understand these were installed in 2014.
