Description
Sedgwick House is a magnificent Grade II listed building set within extensive landscaped gardens. In the 1980s, the property was sympathetically converted into apartments, carefully preserving its grandeur and original architectural features while introducing the comforts of modern living. It is sited in the quiet South Lakeland village of Sedgwick, yet conveniently situated just five miles from the M6 and close to Oxenholme Mainline railway station. The owners have a share of the leasehold and each hold a share of the freehold - the property is managed by a resident-led team. Apartment 12 is located on the first floor and has been refurbished to a high standard. Large windows flood the rooms with natural light, while vaulted ceilings create an airy feel and offer delightful views over the extensive grounds and the Sedgwick cricket pitch. Residents of Sedgwick House benefit from an outstanding range of leisure facilities situated on the lower ground floor. These include two gym rooms, a pool room, table tennis room, showers, W.C., changing rooms, and individual storage lockers. A spiral staircase leads to a Victorian-style orangery, housing a fabulous swimming pool with seating areas and direct access to a sun terrace. Additional facilities include a tennis court for more active pursuits, and for quieter moments, a communal social room overlooking the front of the property with stunning views towards the Lakeland Fells. Sedgwick is a beautiful and peaceful village, boasting a fantastic cricket pitch close to the property and surrounded by scenic local walks, including routes along the picturesque River Kent. It is just 5 miles from the M6 (Junction 36) and conveniently located near Oxenholme Mainline railway station, making it ideal for commuters. The vibrant market town of Kendal is a short drive away and offers a wide range of amenities, including supermarkets, a leisure centre, and both primary and secondary schools.
