If single storey living is the goal, then Banneriggs Foot may be the property for you. Add in splendid views, beautiful gardens, spacious and well-presented accommodation and a popular edge of village setting then this is a must see. Here are our highlights: It’s all about your position - check out the views towards St Bartholomew’s Church with a backdrop of the Barbon Fells. It is very special indeed. Space to enjoy - built in the early 1980s, but since their purchase in 2007, the current owners (using local and well regarded builder Andrew Mattinson) have substantially extended and remodelled the bungalow to create a spacious and light property with quality fixtures and fittings with an approximate internal gross measurement of 1783 sq ft (165.7 sq m) in a plot measuring c. 0.24 acres (0.10 hectares). All of the principal rooms and three of the bedrooms enjoy the lovely views to the east towards the church and fells. To the south is a dual aspect sitting room complemented to the north by a garden room with flag floor overlooking the main garden. The sociable kitchen enables you to chat to family and friends whilst you cook. The kitchen is attractively fitted with cream shaker style units with granite worktops, perfect for a country home, there’s a cream three oven Aga and integral appliances including a separate electric oven and gas and electric hob - this is a cook’s kitchen for sure. There’s also an ingeniously designed space saver spice rack and cupboard housing a food mixer which cleverly appears as if by magic - seeing is believing but we bet Mary Berry would love it! Sweet dreams guaranteed - there are three main bedrooms. The dual aspect master has a dressing area with built in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There are two further doubles, both with fitted furniture and one has glazed doors out on to a seating terrace. A craft/work room with fitted base units, sink unit and double glazed doors could be used as a fourth bedroom. The four piece house bathroom is attractively fitted. Storage - a loft hatch with pull down ladder allows access to a large boarded attic space providing excellent storage. Garaging and parking - the single garage with a wooden roller door, is now used as a workshop and utility room/laundry room, but could be easily reinstated to its original purpose by removing the de-mountable stud partition. A large gravel area to the front provides excellent parking. Offering privacy and seclusion is a Mediterranean style courtyard with water feature - a lovely spot for alfresco dining, entertaining family and friends or simply to sit and enjoy a quiet moment. We absolutely love this! The current owners have enjoyed developing the outside space with delightful, well-stocked and well-tended gardens which are situated mainly to the north of the property with level lawns, a pond, beautiful and aromatic rose covered pergolas, planted beds and fruit trees. There’s also a small wooden shed, greenhouse, works area and raised vegetable beds.

It’s ideal for commuters - highly convenient and accessible for the M6 and A65.
