97 Valley Drive, Kendal, LA9

Welcome to 97 Valley Drive, a wonderfully bright and airy three bungalow located within this most popular area of Kendal.

Set back from the road and sitting in an elevated position, 97 commands a panoramic view to the front over the local countryside and beyond to Kendal Castle.

Looking back to the property, walk up the driveway and ascend the small set of steps until you reach the well-stocked front garden with its paved stone path leading up to the front door and beyond as it carries on wrapping itself around the property, leading the way to the side and rear gardens.

Stepping through the threshold into the internal hallway, make your way into the spacious l-shaped sitting room, stoke the fire in the multifuel burner, sit back and bathe in the warm glow while taking in the dual aspect view to either the front or to the rear garden.

From the sitting room, open the door into what has to be the jewel in the crown of this property and arguably the most important room of any home..... the Kitchen and the beautiful extension that it sits in. Featuring real stone veneers cladding the walls and a gorgeous blue Kitchen suite, it is handsomely equipped with a wide range of wall and base units with high quality appliances and fixtures from the likes of Bosch & Franke.

After smiling with approval, we move on from the Kitchen and enter into what has been nicknamed the “Lotus extension” on account that the funds raised from the sale of the owner’s former classic car, was reinvested back into the building to create this fantastic space. Flooded with light thanks to its triple aspect windows, large door to the rear, vaulted ceiling and enormous Velux window, it is the perfect place to sit down with friends, a glass of wine and enjoy the evening sun while you talk the night away. Before you leave however, just be sure to look out for the Lotus badge that’s been hidden in plain sight!

Heading back through the sitting room and into the hallway, the bedrooms and the recently refitted shower room beckon you to relax. With the choice of three bright bedrooms on offer, all with large windows to either the front or the rear, you have your pick on what view you prefer to wake up too. Generous in size, the master bedroom sits quietly to the rear, overlooking the rear garden and offering plenty of privacy, with the second bedroom also being a very good size and benefitting from that panoramic view and once more offering plenty of privacy thanks to the properties elevated position over the surrounding neighbours. The third bedroom, currently used as a home office, also benefits from the peaceful vistas over the garden and offers a multitude of uses depending on the needs of the owners. It can continue to be an office space, guest bedroom or if one was minded, could be incorporated into the master bedroom as either a walk-in wardrobe or converted into a most luxurious en-suite if required.

After inspecting the internal accommodation it’s time to appreciate the external elements on offer. So, head back through the property and exit through the extension door to the rear gardens and as you step out to the patio, formed from 18th century York stone reclaimed from the Liverpool dockyards, look upon the serene gardenscape that surrounds you. Made up of well-established flower beds, trees, shrubs and lawned areas, the garden offers a tranquil and well screened retreat that is easy to maintain which offers an explosion of colour in the spring and summer months. To the side, sits a further area of garden that features the charming summer house and a further area that could house a garden shed if required.

To the front of the property, a large array of well positioned and established flower beds, shrubs and bushes screen the front façade of the home and provide plenty of natural elements to look upon as you walk past or look out from the property. A private driveway provides off road parking before leading up to the garage, which could be expanded if required to provide additional spaces. Opening the garage door, you come upon the well-lit and dry interior that could continue providing a useful space for vehicles or alternatively be used as additional storage space. Going further, the garage and former dark room to the rear, could be utilised as a home office, gym or hobby space if required.

Offering a peaceful slice of Kendal living, with no onward chain, potential to improve or adapt the current accommodation, with the added bonus of a main bus route and the Lake District National Park on your door step, 97 Valley Drive should definitely be on your list to view if you’re planning on moving to Kendal and this much sought-after part of the county.
