OVERVIEW
Having a deceptive external appearance, this unique detached house has charm and character with the quirky gambrel or 'Dutch barn' roof giving a twist to the traditional Lakeland stone exterior. The generous accommodation is over two floors with the welcoming living dining space being great for families whilst the separate sitting room has a more grown up feel and French doors to the garden. The first floor has three double bedrooms, one of which is ensuite and there is an additional playroom/study space. Externally, there is parking and turning space plus a good sized garage. The rear garden slopes up from the property and there are views to open countryside. Available with no onward chain. Ings is situated between Kendal and Windermere and lies within the Lake District National Park. Countryside walks are on the doorstep and there are good road links to the wider Lake District and M6 motorway.
