Location

Natland is a picturesque and highly sought-after rural village, located on the southern outskirts of Kendal. Set within a peaceful residential development, the property enjoys an enviable position with open views across adjoining fields towards The Helm and the surrounding countryside. Within easy walking distance are St Mark’s Church of England Primary School, the village Church, and the village hall, all contributing to the strong sense of community. The nearby market town of Kendal is just a five-minute drive away and offers a wide range of amenities, including superstores, Westmorland General Hospital, and Oxenholme railway station, providing excellent transport links.

Description

The property is approached via a sloping driveway leading down to an integral tandem garage, providing secure parking and additional storage. To the rear, there is further off-road parking on a gravelled driveway, offering excellent practicality for multiple vehicles or visiting guests.

A paved pathway runs alongside lush lawned gardens, complemented by well-established and colourful planted borders that create an attractive first impression. The pathway leads to the front door and continues up to a raised, balcony-style seating area, perfectly positioned to enjoy the peaceful setting and uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside.

A welcoming porch opens into a central hallway, providing access to the main ground-floor accommodation and setting the tone for the bright and spacious interior.

The lounge/diner is naturally bright and generously proportioned, offering ample space for both seating and dining furniture. An electric fire provides a cosy focal point within the lounge area, while a serving hatch connects conveniently to the kitchen. Glazed doors lead through to the conservatory, enhancing the sense of light and flow throughout the living space and creating an excellent additional area for family gatherings and entertaining.

The hardwood conservatory enjoys delightful views over the gardens and open fields beyond, with The Helm visible in the distance. Benefitting from a replacement solid roof installed within the last two years, this space remains comfortable and usable throughout the seasons.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of storage cupboards and complementary worktops, along with a matching breakfast table ideal for casual dining. Included within the worktop is a one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap and a four-ring electric hob. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven and grill, fridge, and microwave, with plumbing available for a washing machine. An external door provides access to steps leading down into the garden.

Located at the far end of the hall, the bedroom and bathroom accommodation is well laid out and generously proportioned. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden and offers a spacious double layout, complete with an en-suite and ample space for freestanding furniture. Bedrooms two and three are positioned to the front of the property, comprising a large double or twin room with space for wardrobes, and a comfortable double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The modern family bathroom is fitted with a bath, WC and wash hand basin set within a vanity unit providing useful storage. A cupboard within the bathroom houses the hot water cylinder and offers additional shelving for towels, linen and toiletries.

The gardens have been lovingly designed and maintained by the current owners over the years, creating a truly inviting outdoor space. Situated on a corner plot, the garden wraps around three sides of the property, offering a delightful mix of planting styles and landscaping. To the front and side, deep beds filled with mature shrubs and trees line the boundaries, surrounding a beautifully shaped and manicured lawn. Decorative features include an ornamental stone wishing well, paved paths, and steps leading up to a raised terrace that connects seamlessly with the house. At the rear, a patio and seating area adjoin the conservatory, with views over the field at the rear boundary, providing a peaceful and private retreat.
