5 Fir Tree Close, Bolton Le Sands, Carnforth, LA5 8AZ

Tucked away in a quiet and peaceful residential area, this detached true bungalow has a large and neatly kept garden with westerly views providing fabulous sunsets over Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Fells.

The property has the benefit of already obtained planning permission for extensions to the building, if required, to maximise the generous size of the plot.

The accommodation currently provides a covered entrance into a hall with a cloakroom and coats cupboard. The hall also provides easy access to the loft space which recently has been substantially boarded and shelved with full lighting to provide maximum organised storage. The sitting room and dining room have been opened upand together provide a lovely reception space for family and having friends over, it’s a room that’s both light and spacious. A living flame gas fire in a marble surround provides an attractive focal point if you can take your eyes off the large square bay with its super views, connecting the room to the garden is a glazed door. The dining kitchen will enjoy the morning sun, extensively fitted it has under unit lighting, recently installed AEG oven, microwave/oven and induction hob together with Blanco sink and taps and incorporates a really useful breakfast table. Off here is a practical utility room and a versatile and useful home office or hobbies room which offers further storage and has a door to the back garden so it’s a handy spot to hang coats and store shoes and boots.

There are presently two bedrooms, both doubles. The property originally had three bedrooms, one of which was converted into the dining room but can be easily reconfigured if required. The main bedroom enjoys a west facing view over the garden and adjacent rooftops to the bay on one aspect and over the Lakeland Fells on the northwestern aspect. Extensive fitted furniture maximises space and provides excellent storage. The second bedroom has fitted wardrobes and looks east out to the neatly kept front garden. The shower room has a shower, vanity unit with fitted cupboards, WC and heated towel rail.

The well stocked gardens have been neatly maintained and are an absolute delight. Set back off the Close, the front garden features a lawn with curved shrub borders. The sunny back garden is extensive and includes a large west facing seating terrace and a lawn. A short flight of steps then leads down to a second lawn. Shrub borders are well stocked and neatly trimmed with a good selection of flowering shrubs which provide seasonal variation and colour. There is also a shed. The overall appearance is very pleasing and provides the foreground of the wider open views. The detached single garage has an up and over door, workbench, wall shelving and roof space storage. Attached to the garage are two useful garden stores. There’s space to park on the driveway, external lighting and two cold water taps.
