Fairview, Kirkby Stephen, CA17

Welcome home to Fairview, Kirkby Stephen...

Situated in the delightful market town of Kirkby Stephen, Fairview is a striking end property that exudes timeless charm and elegance. Displaying grand Georgian proportions and a wealth of exquisite architectural details, this Grade II listed home stands proudly beside the Victorian Temperance Hall, offering a truly unique blend of history and style.

From the outside, Fairview immediately captivates with its characterful façade and graceful symmetry. The current owner has spent the past decade transforming this former commercial building into an exceptional private residence, combining modern comforts with a deep respect for its original features. The result is a home that perfectly balances period beauty with contemporary living, a space certain to delight the most discerning of buyers.

Park in one of the public spaces nearby and step inside through the grandest front doors.

Upon entering, you are greeted by the sight of beautifully restored oak doors, deep dipped and stripped back to reveal their natural warmth, leading off a wide and welcoming entrance hallway. The magnificent sweeping staircase commands attention, its curve framed by a huge arched window complete with original stained glass and wooden shutters. Natural light floods the space, accentuating the craftsmanship and grandeur that define this remarkable home.

Before we ascend the beautiful staircase, let us explore the ground floor first.

To the right of the entrance lies Bedroom One, an impressive and captivating room where soaring ceilings are softened by elegantly painted cornicing, visually lowering the height and creating a more intimate feel. Double sash windows stretch almost to the ceiling, bathing the room in light and offering views across the charming town streets, perfectly reflecting Fairview’s central location.

Bedroom Two, slightly smaller in scale, offers a calm and restful retreat towards the rear of the home. Built-in cupboards provide excellent storage while maintaining an uncluttered and peaceful aesthetic.

Adjacent to this bedroom is the beautifully designed family bathroom, a sanctuary of relaxation and style. Here you can unwind in the freestanding claw-foot bath or enjoy a refreshing shower after a long day on the fells. Underfloor heating ensures warmth underfoot, while the heated towel rail keeps bath linens perfectly cosy. A deep-set ceiling window draws in light, brightening the space even on the dullest of days. Behind a discreet sliding pocket door lies a practical utility area, cleverly concealed yet conveniently positioned.

Ascending the sweeping staircase to the upper floor, we arrive at the heart of the home, a stunning open plan kitchen and dining area. Installed in 2020, the kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with navy cabinetry contrasted by crisp white work surfaces and finished with modern copper bar handles, creating a look that is both contemporary and timeless. The oven and hob are beautifully set within an impressive arched recess, painted in a complementary grey tone that echoes the original ceiling cornicing, tying the entire space together with understated elegance.

The generous dining area flows seamlessly into the lounge zone, where the eye is drawn to the original fireplace, currently housing an electric stove but easily reinstated to an open fire if desired. Tall double-height sash windows with original bolted shutters flood the space with light, enhancing the room’s sense of grandeur. This is a space designed for both relaxation and entertaining, where history and modern living meet in perfect harmony.

A conveniently placed WC with storage completes the upper floor accommodation.

Fairview is an exceptional home, a beautiful example of Georgian architecture reimagined for modern life, lovingly restored and thoughtfully finished throughout
