Location

Heron Hill is a sought-after residential area located on the outskirts of Kendal’s town centre. Its level setting makes it easy to walk to local amenities, including a Spar convenience store, GP surgery, and Heron Hill Primary School.

Description

The property is approached via a concrete driveway bordered by a neatly kept lawn and well-established planted borders, filled with a variety of mature shrubs and flowers that provide colour and interest throughout the year.

Stepping inside, the front door opens to an inviting hallway where oak flooring flows through much of the ground floor, lending a warm and cohesive feel to the home.

At the front, a light-filled and generous living room is centred around a charming wood-burning stove, complemented by a recessed alcove ideal for displaying books, photographs, or treasured ornaments. To the rear, the kitchen/diner offers a practical and welcoming space, fitted with a range of cabinetry and a three-sided worktop that provides excellent preparation space. A one-and-a-half bowl sink with drainer and mixer tap is set within the worktop, with space provided for a cooker, fridge, freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine. A useful cupboard houses the boiler.

From here, a doorway opens into the adjoining conservatory, a versatile reception space that enjoys lovely views over the garden and direct access to the outdoors.

Returning to the hallway, you will find two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying a different outlook over the garden. Both rooms offer ample space for freestanding wardrobes, drawers, and a vanity or dressing table.

The modern bathroom features a charming claw-foot bath with handheld shower attachment, WC, and a wash basin set within a vanity unit providing useful storage beneath.

From the hallway, stairs rise to a developed loft space, thoughtfully divided into two functional areas. The main area is carpeted, includes a window, and offers an ideal setting for home working, hobbies, or a quiet retreat. A corridor then leads to a partly boarded loft, providing extensive storage.

Outside, the surrounding gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to offer a mix of spaces for growing, relaxing, and entertaining. An area of lawn sits at the heart, flanked by two patios – one perfectly positioned for alfresco dining, and the other covered to provide sheltered seating whatever the weather.

Raised and low-level planted beds bring seasonal colour and interest adding a productive touch. Along one side of the property, a dedicated potting area provides space for gardening enthusiasts to nurture plants and prepare for the next season’s growth.

To the front, a gate from the driveway leads to a single garage located on a block, with a private parking space directly in front.
