Bankfield Road, Kendal

A beautiful three-bedroom maisonette, located within the desirable Greenside area of Kendal and offered without a chain. Set within the grounds of a former Inghamite Chapel, built in 1844 in the Georgian style on the edge of High Beast Banks, the building was known as Pear Tree Chapel and converted into apartments in the 1980s. The approach provides a grand sense of arrival, with access through two stone pillars leading into the residents’ car park, where each property benefits from an unallocated parking space. The impressive stone-fronted building sits behind attractive green lawns, complemented by a selection of mature specimen trees. A high stone boundary wall further enhances the setting, providing a private and exclusive environment.

The Maisonette is accessed from the first floor and compromises of an entrance hall, living room with space for dining, a kitchen, and a shower room on the first floor, and then on the second level there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. This property is ideal for first time buyers, downsizers and retires and perhaps also those looking for a second home with potential to include the furniture subject to negotiation. The heating is by electric panels and the windows are a mixture of double glazed units and some with quality secondary glazing.

The property is just a short walk away from Kendal town centre where you will find a wide range of independent shops, cafés and cultural attractions close at hand. And Kendal is perfectly positioned as the gateway to the Lake District National Park, offering immediate access to some of the UK’s most stunning countryside, fells and lakes. There is a mainline railway connection at nearby Oxenholme and the M6 is within easy reach by car.
