Windermere Road is a highly sought-after residential area, located just a couple of minutes' drive away from the centre. Situated in an elevated location and bordering onto open farmland to the rear, the property boasts a lovely rural feel, yet within convenient reach of a variety of independent retailers, supermarkets and schools, as well as the Lake District National park and commuting links to the M6 motorway. 

Description

This fabulous family home is approached via a gently sloped tarmacked drive, with electric charge point, which extends all the way up to a detached single garage. Stone steps alongside an open lawn garden with planted shrubs and bushes leads to a tiled porch with arched window. The front door opens through to a bright entrance hallway, where there are doors leading to two reception rooms, the utility, a cloakroom and stairs ascending to the first floor landing. 

The first reception room you come to is the living room, which features a curved bay window, bathing the room in natural sunlight and allowing views over Kendal towards fells in the distance. Within the room is an open fire providing a focal point and warmth, and either side are built-in shelving for books and ornaments. The adjacent reception room offers a flexible space currently used as a sitting room, which provides the perfect space to relax of an evening around the gas fire or entertain in with, family and friends.

The sitting room seamlessly flows through to the kitchen/diner, expertly renovated and modernised in 2018 by the current owner. A range of soft close storage units and a granite worktop wrap around three walls with space to one side for an American sized fridge freezer.  Incorporated within the worktop is a stainless steel sink with mixer tap and a five ring gas hob, with twin electric oven/grill below. Underfoot, the beautiful slate effect porcelain tile benefits from underfloor heating. The room is flooded with natural sunlight from two rear aspect windows and a glazed roof light and there is space within the room for a dining table and six chairs.

A part glazed door opens through into the utility and boot room. The open plan, multifunctional room provides two distinct areas, one for laundry which has fitted storage units and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, whilst the other has direct access from the drive and garden and provides space to hang up coats, kick off muddy boots and wash in the Belfast sink. Completing the ground floor is the cloakroom located beneath the stairs, with WC and wash hand basin. 

Stairs from the entrance hall ascends to the first floor landing, where there are doors leading to three bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC. The two main bedrooms are spacious doubles with the front facing bedroom featuring a built in wardrobe and a curved window allowing outlooks towards fields and fells, whilst the second bedroom has a vanity wash basin and overlooks the rear garden and onto the adjacent field, which is protected from development by group ownership from neighbouring residents. The third bedroom is a large single/small double room, which has space for freestanding drawers and bookcase.

The bathroom includes a bath with wall mounted electric shower and pedestal wash hand basin. A cupboard within the room houses the hot water cylinder and there is shelving for towels and linen. Alongside the bathroom is the separate WC. Stairs from the first floor landing continue up to the developed, skylighted loft room, which provides the perfect space for home working, studying, crafting or even as a children's play room. 

To the rear of the property there is a large lawn garden with pond and planted borders, and a detached garage with electric light and power. Accessed from the drive there is a useful under croft, with areas of reduced head height.
