OVERVIEW
Positioned above the surrounding properties, this three bedroom detached house perfectly fits its name and is more than meets the eye. Owned by the present occupiers for 50 years, the property has undergone a transformation having been extended and reconfigured from the original cottage creating a generous and versatile home.
-----
The accommodation is over two principal levels and there are stunning bay and Lakeland fell views from many of the rooms. Hours can be wiled away birdwatching or simply looking at the ebb and flow of the tides - the sunsets are fantastic. The ground floor has a central lounge with further sitting room and dining room leading off. There is a study plus a ground floor bedroom and shower room. To the first floor are a further two large double bedrooms, a bathroom and separate wc - both bedrooms have a dressing area or study attached. Making the most of the views, the tiered garden has been landscaped throughout and there is off road parking and an integral garage.
A truly unique and special home - viewing is essential.
