2 Fell Side really is a super property that offers so much. The deceptive dimensions, delightful views, versatile layout, modern Kitchen, Garage with extra storage and even climbing wall, super Conservatory and recently created, delightful, rear Patio space are just a few of the many positives this property has to offer. The property has recently had solar panels installed, cavity wall insulation and an 8kw heat pump – which heats the radiators and hot water. This lovely home will have a broad appeal but we imagine in particular it will appeal to families particularly with the excellent transport links to Ulverston, Barrow and the South Lakes. There is a local Primary School within easy reach - in fact a picturesque, safe walk (under the A590) makes it a very safe journey!
The first impression is the very attractive, modern, navy blue door - lovely! The leads into the Porch - a very useful space for wet coats and muddy boots and door into the Integral Garage. Attractive, original door into the Hallway with wood effect laminate flooring, stairs to First Floor and doors to Ground Floor rooms. The cleverly created Study is snug but makes a perfect Office for the Home Worker and importantly does not use up a valuable Bedroom! This well placed room has an internal window, built in desk and shelving. The Kitchen is furnished with a good range of attractive high gloss, sleek, off white wall and base cabinets with matching worktops and inset 1½ bowl sink. Plumbing for washing machine and space for under-counter fridge. Fabulous recessed Range cooker and side door to undercover walkway which leads to the Utility Room with power and light and provides ample space for washing machine, dryer and freezers if required. Next to this is the ever useful ground floor 'loo'! External door to Rear Patio Garden and further access to the Integral Garage.
From the Kitchen there is open access to the super Sun Room/Conservatory which is currently used as a Dining Room. This lovely room is of course very light and sunny and also has open country field views. Open (access also from Hallway) to Lounge. The Lounge is full depth and spacious with charming wood burning stove and mantel over. The window to the front enjoys pleasing views into the Front Garden and to 'The Heights' beyond. Recessed shelving.
From the Hallway, stairs lead to the First Floor. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are both spacious doubles, both with recessed wardrobe (Bedroom 1 also has a separate storage cupboard and both enjoy delightful views over the village towards 'The Heights'. Bedroom 3 is a good sized single with rear aspect and charming country views. The Bathroom has a white suite comprising bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
Externally, to the rear is a delightful, recently created paved Patio area which is completely private and enjoys wonderful countryside views. Complete with lovely pergola, all ready for some fragrant climbing plants - this is a lovely outside space for entertaining or to enjoy peaceful outdoor dining and evening drinks.
The front has a sunny paved seating area and piece of level lawn with enough space for the children to have a kick around and some outdoor play. It is gated and enclosed by a hedge and has Parking for 2 cars in front of the Garage. There is a 7kW Myenergi Zappi EV charger on the outside wall on the drive. A 3rd car can be parked in the space in front of the garden as well as the 2 on the drive
