Description

This excellent family home boasts a welcoming entrance, accessed via a gated and walled courtyard adorned with established planted borders and a striking purple wisteria. A solid wood door with original stained glass and leaded detailing opens into an inviting hallway, where split-level stairs lead down to the dining area and up to the bedroom accommodation.

To the left, a door opens into the lounge, a bright and cosy reception space featuring a charming box window that floods the room with natural light. Characterful touches include exposed timber floorboards and an open fire, adding warmth and personality to this delightful room.

The second reception room serves as a versatile seating and dining area, centred around a charming multi-fuel stove, perfect for entertaining family and friends. It offers open access to the adjoining kitchen and also features a door beneath the stairs leading to the cellar.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a variety of storage cupboards and a three-sided worktop, providing generous preparation space. Integrated into the worktop is a single drainer sink with mixer tap, alongside a four-ring gas hob. An electric oven/grill is built into the units, with designated space for a fridge freezer and dishwasher, as well as plumbing for a washing machine. An external door provides direct access to the courtyard seating area.

Up on the first floor, you'll find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. At the front of the property is a generously sized double bedroom, with far-reaching views across Kendal to the surrounding fields.

The second bedroom is currently arranged as a single but can comfortably accommodate a double bed along with freestanding furniture. The third bedroom is a single, also offering space for freestanding furnishings. The bathroom features a modern three-piece suite, comprising a bath with both wall-mounted and rainfall shower, a WC, and a wash basin with vanity storage below.

Stairs lead up to a loft room, offering a versatile space ideal for hobbies, crafts, games, or additional storage.

Outside, to the rear of the property, is a private courtyard patio garden, beautifully enhanced by established planting that offers year-round colour, along with a charming pond. At the top of the garden, you'll find a potting shed and a large single garage, providing secure parking or offering excellent potential as a workshop or additional storage space.
