Milnthorpe Road, Kendal, Cumbria

A grand Victorian Villa with an income! This is a large semi-detached property with two distinct parts, the first being the owners residency comprising of three bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, large kitchen/diner, lounge, and family bathroom. Then there is a five bedroom guest house with guest lounge, service room (could be a sixth guest room) with two of the bedrooms being ensuite, and the other three having shared bathroom facilities. All presented in excellent condition and enjoying an 8.7 'Fabulous' rating on booking.com. And if the new owner wanted to set the whole property to work as an investment, the current vendors have also utilised the owners accommodation as an 'entire' one bed lettable house via airbnb, achieving a 5.0 rating. The business has been running for several years as a bed and breakfast, and in 2019 was bought and renovated by the current owners who moved it to guesthouse (no breakfast) from 2022.

Known commercially as Sundial, the property sits in a row of large imposing villas and terraces, raised on a pedestrian promenade rising above the street level and opposite the well renowned Kendal College. With gas central heating and double glazing, the property also benefits from a car park to the rear with parking for multiple cars. There is a garage building ideal for storage (no vehicular door) and a handy outbuilding utilised as a laundry. To the front of the property there is an attractive low maintenance garden in the forecourt.

Ideally suited to buyers looking for a large house to live in whilst generating an income from the guest house. Also has potential for a larger, perhaps intergenerational family, who would seek to convert the commercial element back into a purely residential premises. Over the years, many of the villas along the row have done precisely this, creating a large statement home on the fringes of the desirable town of Kendal.
