Sellet Lodge is a charming detached Victorian property situated on the outskirts of the village of Stainton, approximately four miles south-east of the market town of Kendal. Located just off the A65, the property offers convenient access to Junction 36 of the M6 motorway. Set in an idyllic and peaceful rural position, it is surrounded by open countryside while remaining well connected, with Oxenholme mainline railway station-providing direct links to London Euston, Manchester and Glasgow-only a short drive away. Kendal's excellent range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and transport links are also close by, as are both the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales.

Lovingly owned by the current vendors for over 40 years, the property now requires modernisation but offers fantastic potential. Set within approximately 6.4 acres, Sellet Lodge benefits from off-road parking, a detached garage, front and rear gardens, a tennis court, and a large field, making it ideal for those seeking space, privacy or smallholding opportunities.

The room features an attractive open fireplace with a tiled inset and a built-in cupboard. An inner hall provides access to a walk in pantry, external access and leads down to the cellar, where a staircase descends to four rooms offering excellent storage and utility space.

The kitchen is fitted with base units and worktops incorporating an inset sink and drainer and houses an oil-fired Rayburn, with space for an under-counter fridge. A door leads through to the sitting room, another generous reception room featuring glazed door opening onto a balcony with glass panels, offering uninterrupted panoramic views.

The first-floor landing provides access to four bedrooms, the house bathroom and a separate shower room, along with access to the loft space and a useful linen cupboard.
