Full Description: <p>Nestled within the charming Monkwray Cottages in the highly desirable Kells area of Whitehaven, this beautifully presented two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers a rare combination of peace, privacy and convenience. Originally forming part of a row of former miners' cottages, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded feel, surrounded by beautiful gardens and woodland, yet is only minutes from Whitehaven town centre and its excellent range of amenities. Immaculately maintained throughout, the bungalow is ready to move straight into and even offers the option of purchasing the furniture by separate negotiation, making it an ideal choice for those looking to downsize, enjoy an early retirement or relocate to West Cumbria.</p><p>The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, featuring a generous lounge, a stylish contemporary dining kitchen, a conservatory perfectly positioned to take in the garden views, two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Outside, the property continues to impress. A quiet lane running along the front of the cottages leads to a substantial private parking area with space for three vehicles parked side by side. The extensive gardens are a particular highlight, offering several seating areas, an elevated patio overlooking the lawn and woodland beyond, and a further decked terrace creating the perfect place to relax and unwind. At the heart of the garden are two apple trees, a pear tree and a cherry tree, adding both colour and seasonal interest. The current owner has also installed a dedicated squirrel feeder on the garden wall to the rear of the conservatory, providing the perfect vantage point to enjoy regular visits from the resident red squirrels. These delightful visitors are especially abundant during the winter months, when family groups, including young red squirrels, can often be seen feeding daily, further enhancing the property's idyllic setting. Completing the outside space is a highly versatile outhouse, which already benefits from electricity and numerous double power sockets throughout, offering excellent potential as a utility room, home office, workshop, entertaining space or garden bar, subject to any necessary consents.</p><p>Enjoying a wonderfully peaceful setting with exceptional gardens, generous parking and versatile outdoor space, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that offers the best of both worlds; tranquil surroundings with the convenience of Whitehaven's shops, restaurants, transport links and coastline just a short drive away.</p><br />EPC Rating: D
