SUMMARY

Two frequently used expressions in the Estate Agency profession are location and potential. These certainly apply to Kern Knotts.

Located at the southerly periphery of Storth village, a community with local facilities including a primary school, village hall and inn, the site, which was carefully landscaped at the time of the original construction, has a high degree of seclusion and privacy, with a splayed entrance from Keasdale Road. Keasdale Road is between Storth and Carr Bank.

There are many local facilities and amenities at nearby Arnside, including a railway station and shops. Milnthorpe is between 5 - 10 minutes drive.

As regards potential, Kern Knotts was constructed by a builder for his own use and occupation, circa 1966, and bears a date stone.

The L-shaped bungalow was built to a high specification for the period and has a rendered external finish under double pitched slated roofs.

The bungalow which is located towards the northerly boundary of the site, has potential for modernisation, upgrading and alteration to suite individual needs and tastes. There is also scope, if required, subject to satisfactory planning consent, to extend the bungalow. Prospective buyers are recommended to consult with the Planning Authority, South Lakeland District Council, details of which are provided in these particulars.

Attached to the principal accommodation is a splendid, large garage, which could be incorporated into the accommodation with the potential to build a separate garage block, if desired, within the site. In front of the garage is a car port.

Surrounding the bungalow are the lovely landscaped gardens and grounds which would benefit from some improved management. These include lawns, borders, and a splendid variety of specimen hard and softwood trees.

Inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the attributes of Kern Knotts and the sale will be of interest to builders, developers and private buyers.
