Ideally situated on a quiet side road at the heart of the small Lakeland village of Chapel Stile, Oakdene stands in well landscaped gardens of about one third of an acre. At the front there is free standing parking for at least two cars and at the rear, room for a further three cars. To the side and rear of the accommodation are large attractive gardens. The beautiful open aspect enjoys splendid views of the surrounding fellside.

Constructed in the early 1970's by a local builder, the property was enlarged and completely renovated to form two luxury houses, one three bedroomed and one four bedroomed. Modern kitchens and luxurious bathrooms were introduced and both houses beautifully furnished to an exceptionally high standard. Each house has oil fired central heating and double glazing and is protected day and night by burglar and smoke alarms. Pay phones have been installed and garden furniture and a barbeque is provided for the use of guests.
