About
Positioned within the highly desirable coastal village of Bardsea, Whitwood is an impressive four-bedroom detached residence occupying an elevated setting with breathtaking panoramic views across the coastline, surrounding countryside, and towards Morecambe Bay.
Offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home of character and potential in such a picturesque location, the property enjoys mature gardens to the front, side and rear beautifully established with an array of plants, shrubs, and patio areas designed to take full advantage of the stunning setting.
Approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking, the property also benefits from a detached stone-built garage and workshop/store with a traditional slate roof.
This versatile outbuilding offers excellent potential for a variety of uses including a home office, studio, workshop, or additional storage space.
Internally, the property provides spacious and flexible accommodation with excellent scope for modernisation and reconfiguration.
A workshop area adjoining the kitchen could easily be transformed into a substantial open-plan kitchen diner, subject to the installation of an RSJ and the necessary building regulations approval.
The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of base and wall units together with an integrated oven and electric hob, whilst enjoying pleasant views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.
Leading from the kitchen is a useful larder and pantry area, along with a convenient ground floor WC.
To the front elevation are two generously proportioned reception rooms, both designed to maximise the exceptional outlook through large picture and dual-aspect windows.
The first reception room, accessed directly from the kitchen, features a gas fire and enjoys stunning views across Morecambe Bay and the surrounding landscape.
The larger second reception room offers a gas-fired stove set upon a decorative slate plinth, creating a warm and welcoming focal point.
Subject to the appropriate consents and structural alterations, these two rooms could be combined to create an impressive open-plan living and entertaining space.
A central hallway links the reception areas and provides access to the front entrance together with the staircase rising to the first floor accommodation.
To the upper floor, Bedroom One is the master bedroom, created as part of an extension to the property.
This spacious room enjoys fabulous dual-aspect views and benefits from fitted wardrobes, with ample space to add an en-suite if desired.
The main bathroom comprises a bath with separate electric shower, wash hand basin with built-in cupboards below, and WC. There is also a useful storage/airing cupboard on the landing.
Bedrooms two and three are situated to the front of the property and enjoy views across Morecambe Bay and the surrounding countryside. Both are generous double bedrooms.
Bedroom Three is currently used as a home office and could be enlarged further by removing the fitted wardrobes.
Owing to the room's position within the property, there is also potential to install an additional window, subject to any necessary permissions, to take even greater advantage of the stunning bay and countryside views.
Bedroom Four is located to the rear of the property. Although currently presented as a single room, it is a comfortable double bedroom.
