SUMMARY "Dyer Dene" has been in the ownership of the present owners and sellers since 1970 and has been used as a second/holiday home.

It is believed that the original dwelling was constructed in the mid-1930's with cavity brick walls with a pebble dash finish under a double pitched slated roof. The owners, over the years, have carefully altered and improved the accommodation with the extension and provision of the garage with bedroom and bathroom above. Other improvements include the installation of upvc double glazed windows and the lovely sun lounge attached to the rear elevation overlooking the garden and paddocks with Whitbarrow Scar on the horizon. There is potential, if required, to further extend and alter the existing accommodation, with scope to incorporate the garage/games room.

Prospective buyers are recommended to make their own enquiries at the Planning Authority's Office, details of which are contained in these particulars.

One of the most frequently used expressions in the Estate Agency profession is location. This certainly applies to "Dyer Dene". Tucked away in the hamlet of Beckhead, being the mid-property of a cluster of three, the area is a haven for wildlife and, apart from the delightful vista towards Whitbarrow Scar, it is extremely well placed for the numerous walks available in and around Witherslack. The house is complemented by the pleasant, lawned gardens and grounds with a fine variety of flowering trees and shrubs. The trunk road between Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness, being the A590 is within a few minutes drive providing excellent links and the M6, junction 36 is approximately fifteen minutes drive.

Inspection is highly recommended.
