<p>Don't Judge A Bungalow By Its Block Paved Drive. Behind the neat front garden is one of the most surprising single storey homes in the area - with a vast open-plan kitchen and living space, a gorgeous spa bathroom with a freestanding bath and a secret office hidden off the sitting room. Property ref: KD0516</p><p>The outside gives nothing away. A neat detached bungalow, a well-kept front garden, a wide block-paved drive. Then you get inside - and what someone has done here, from the kitchen to the bathroom to the hidden office most visitors never even find, stops you in your tracks.</p><p>The heart of it is the kitchen-diner, and it really is something special. White gloss units run the full length of the room, with a large island at the centre seating four, integrated appliances and a proper chef's tap over the sink. A roof lantern pulls light down into the space, and bi-fold doors open the whole room onto the rear composite decking. It's the kind of kitchen that changes how you spend your weekends.</p><p>The open-plan layout flows from the kitchen through to the main living area, where a wood-burning stove sits against a full-height slate feature wall. There’s a neat little dining snug with its own lantern roof, banquette seating and a wall-mounted TV - just off to the side of the kitchen.</p><p>The sitting room at the front is spacious, stylish and has a secret worth knowing about. Set off to one side, hidden behind what most visitors take for a wall unit, is a study - with enough space to shut the door and work or read in peace.</p><p>The main bedroom is a good size, with French doors opening directly onto the back garden and a crystal chandelier that sets the tone. Bedroom two has its own ensuite shower room - ideal if you're regularly having guests to stay. A third bedroom and a separate dressing room with fitted gloss wardrobes and a Hollywood vanity mirror complete the sleeping accommodation.</p><p>The four piece family bathroom doesn’t disappoint. A freestanding white bath sits centre-stage, with a separate glass-screened shower enclosure tiled in dark slate-effect panels, a heated towel rail and recessed spotlights throughout. </p><p>Outside, the back garden has been designed to be enjoyed. A large composite deck runs across the back of the extension, with a lawn and a fully fitted garden room at the bottom, complete with rattan seating, a projector and its own heating. </p><p>The front has a wide block-paved drive with space for several cars and access to the integral single garage. There's an electric car charger already in place.</p><p>Little Corby is a quiet village on the outskirts of Carlisle - close enough to the city for everything you need, far enough away to properly switch off when you get home. It’s less than 10 minutes drive to the motorway and only 15 minutes to the centre of town.</p><p>And if you’re heading further afield, it’s less than an hour down the A69 to Newcastle and less than half an hour down the M6 to Penrith and the North Lakes.</p><p>Foodies will love having the best steak pies and scones so close by - Steve Wilson’s butcher just round the corner and Sally’s tea room is in nearby Warwick Bridge.</p><p>This is a truly surprising home that looks like a typical bungalow from the street and lives like something else entirely once you're inside - and all on one level so it works for life now and for years to come.</p><p>I’m expecting real interest in this one - get in touch to arrange your viewing before someone else gets there first.</p><p> </p>
