The sale of Snowdrop presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious detached two bedroom bungalow with private parking, garage and  a generous mature garden and patio with superb views towards Coniston Old Man and the fells. Set just on the edge of Coniston village in the small hamlet of Haws Bank.

The sale of Snowdrop presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious detached two bedroom bungalow, originally constructed in the 1950s beneath a traditional pitched slate roof. Well planned and attractively presented throughout, the property has been carefully maintained and benefits from a new bathroom and kitchen, while still offering scope for selective modernisation to suit individual tastes. Subject to planning permission there may be an opportunity to develop the garage into the living accommodation.

Over the years, the bungalow has been thoughtfully extended, most notably with the addition of an excellent integral garage, double glazing, enhancing both practicality and versatility. The property enjoys a delightful south facing aspect to the front, while to the rear there are beautiful views across the attractive gardens towards Coniston Old Man, the surrounding Lakeland fells, and adjoining open countryside.

Snowdrop would make an ideal permanent residence, weekend retreat, or holiday home, combining peaceful surroundings with low maintenance yet very well stocked appealing gardens and private parking facilities.

Occupying a wonderful and manageable plot on the edge of Coniston village, the property benefits from a tranquil setting and an open sunny aspect. The gardens are attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance and enjoyment throughout the seasons.

Coniston itself offers a vibrant and welcoming community with a wide range of local amenities, including shops, cafés, a post office, churches, and bowling and tennis clubs. The village is renowned for its associations with Donald Campbell, John Ruskin, and the Lakeland poets, while the surrounding area provides endless opportunities for fell walking, countryside pursuits, and outdoor recreation. The shores of Coniston Water are also just a short stroll away along the nearby lane.

To the front, the property enjoys an attractive south facing garden featuring a variety of planted flower beds. Side access leads to the delightful rear garden, where an impressive selection of mature plants and shrubs are thoughtfully arranged across the sloping, tiered landscape. A charming combination of lawn and patio areas creates ideal spaces for relaxing and entertaining, with direct access into the lounge. Meandering footpaths guide you through the gardens, allowing you to fully appreciate the peaceful setting and surrounding scenery. The bottom of the  garden  borders a small stream and open field.  Beautiful fell and country views towards Coniston Old Man and the Coniston Fells.
