Location

Helme Lodge is a magnificent Grade II listed Georgian mansion, surrounded by a courtyard of terraced houses, communal lawns and leisure facilities. Built in 1824 for William Dilworth Crewdson, one of the founders of Kendal Bank, the site was developed in the late 1980s and converted into 12 luxury apartments within the main house and a courtyard of 21 cottages set within a 5 acre estate. The secluded location is conveniently placed for supermarkets, Westmorland General Hospital, a doctor's surgery and the mainline railway at Oxenholme. There is a bus route situated on Burton Road providing access into the town centre for a range of amenities and services.

Description

Tucked away in a private courtyard setting at the back of the development, a paved path alongside well-tendered communal grounds leads to a covered patio area and onto the attached porch. The porch provides space for coats and shoes and an internal door opens into the hallway. There are doors leading to the lounge and WC and stairs ascend to the first floor.

The lounge is a generous size reception room, which has free flowing access to the adjoining dining room and conservatory, creating the perfect space for socialising and entertaining with family and friends. The room is naturally bright from glazed doors leading out onto the private patio and communal grounds and a gas fire to one side, creates a focal point and warmth. The adjoining dining room can easily accommodate a family sized table and six/eight chairs, as well as additional free standing furniture, whilst the conservatory provides space the ideal retreat for reading or simply enjoying the peaceful outlooks onto the communal gardens. 

The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a wide range of storage cupboards and a complementary three-sided worktop. Fitted within the worktop is a one and a half sink drainer with mixer tap and a four ring gas hob with extractor hood over. Integrated within the units is an electric twin oven/grill, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. Completing the ground floor is the WC, ideal for families and guests. 

Stairs from the hallway lead up to the first floor landing, where there are doors leading to three bedrooms, a shower room and a storage cupboard which houses the boiler and hot water cylinder. The master bedroom is a spacious double room overlooking the communal garden. The bedroom benefits from a range of built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors and access to an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three have similar size double proportions and benefit from fitted wardrobes and enjoy views onto open fields. The shower room includes a walk-in enclosure with wall mounted electric shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, there are private front and rear patios, providing space for potted plants and an area to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Directly behind the property is a detached single garage, with electric light and access to off road parking. The property also benefits from the shared use of the beautifully landscaped communal gardens and grounds, a tennis court and leisure facilities which include a sauna, gym and billiard room.
