THIS bungalow plot on the fringes of the Lake District National Park offers ample scope for anyone seeking out an ambitious project.

Located at Smithy Hill, with views over Lindale village, near near Grange-over-Sands, this three-bedroom property is ready for modernisation and is recommended viewing for purchasers looking to renovate or remodel.

Sungalow is on the market with Milne Moser for £450,000. Its sloping plot extends to the side and back of the bungalow, featuring mature trees on the boundaries and scenic, grassy slopes.

The estate agents describe it as "an exciting opportunity" with scope to "develop or reconfigure" the existing property - along with potential for adding new-build homes in the grounds.

Milne Moser say inquiries have been made to the Lake District National Park Authority and there are no existing planning permissions in place, leaving the site free for any potential buyers to tailor plans to their own requirements.

Any new-build homes would be subject to local occupancy restrictions.

The existing bungalow is laid out with three bedrooms and is mostly double-glazed, with gas central heating.

The large, sloping plot has open views over Lindale towards the Kent Estuary in the distance, and there is a level garden and terrace patio for enjoying the outlook over the village to hills beyond.

Double-glazed doors lead into the sun porch, which is glazed on three sides and has a polycarbonate roof.

The split-level hallway has a couple of steps leading to an upper area with access to the bedrooms, and there are two handy built-in cupboards.

A double-glazed window in the lounge has a pleasant view looking out over the front towards the village and beyond. There is a tiled fire surround, two ceiling lights and three wall lights.

The kitchen/diner has two double-glazed windows, base units, a double sink and space for a cooker. There are built-in cupboards and two ceiling lights.

A wall-mounted Vaillant boiler is housed in the side porch-cum-utility room, which has space for a washing machine.

The bathroom is fitted with a bath, pedestal basin and toilet, and has a ceiling light and a frosted window.

Garden views can be enjoyed from two windows in the first bedroom, looking onto the side and back. There are two ceiling lights and a built-in cupboard.

The second bedroom also has pleasant outlooks and features two double wardrobes and a ceiling light, while the third looks over the back and has a ceiling light.

Beside the bungalow is a parking and turning area with access to the garage, which has double doors, power and light, and outside lighting.

A level garden area and a terrace patio with open views complete the setting.

Sungalow has mains water, gas, electric and drainage.
