This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, characterful home set within simply gorgeous, mature gardens, enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. The property boasts attractive and traditional architectural detailing and an inviting setting, perfectly complementing its period charm.

To set the scene and location, Kendal Town is known as the 'Gateway to the Lakes' and boasts a library, supermarkets, churches, banks and medical practices, as well as specialist artisan providers and independent traders.

A near perfect location for those requiring national and regional connections, with the M6 motorway and the mainline railway station at Oxenholme both within a short drive.

Inside, the property is filled with charm and original features that run throughout the home. There is a wonderful sense of character, enhanced by details such as stained-glass windows, original four-panel wooden doors, picture rails, ceiling roses and traditional shutters. This exquisite home showcases elegant architecture and an air of quiet grandeur, beautifully complemented by the exceptional gardens that surround it.

Approach to the property via the driveway from Sedbergh Road, where you will be welcomed by a private electric gate. Stepping through the front door, you enter the entrance porch, where there is a front aspect window and space for coats and shoes. A door leads through to the grand ground floor hallway, an impressive and welcoming space rich in period features and providing access to the principal rooms and staircase. The staircase itself is a striking original feature, finished in dark tones with carved spindles and a prominent newel post, forming a natural focal point. Above, a traditional candle-style chandelier enhances the classic feel. The hallway is filled with natural light from multiple aspects and features a period cast iron gas fireplace set within a wooden mantel with decorative tiled insert and hearth, offering a warm contrast of textures and colour. Beneath the stairs is a useful storage cupboard with a side aspect window, ideal for everyday household items.

A door leads through to the main living room, where rear aspect windows and an expansive side-facing bay window flood the room with natural light. The space blends traditional architectural features with a stylish rustic finish, centred around a characterful fireplace with a log burner set within a stone surround and hearth, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

Back through the hallway you will find access to the study, which enjoys front aspect windows overlooking the driveway, providing an ideal work-from-home space. Parallel to this room lies the snug, a cosy and characterful retreat featuring a cast iron log burner set within a rustic brick and stone chamber. The room benefits from rear aspect windows, fireside storage cupboards, internal alcove book shelving and an additional storage cupboard, making it both practical and full of charm.

The kitchen can be found at the end of the hallway, a spacious and beautifully presented open-plan kitchen and family space forming the true heart of the home. This room combines practical design with an inviting and sociable atmosphere, ideal for modern family living and entertaining. A stylish natural stone flagged floor runs throughout in a dark finish, providing both durability and a timeless, traditional feel. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base units set either side of a five-ring range gas cooker with extractor above and tiled splashback, with open shelving adding both character and additional storage. There is also space for a large fridge freezer.

To the rear, the room opens out towards the garden via patio doors, alongside a run of side aspect windows which flood the space with natural light. Beneath these windows sits a charming corner banquette-style seating area, creating an informal and highly sociable dining space, perfectly positioned to enjoy views over the gardens. Above this seating area, Velux roof lights further enhance the sense of light and space, bringing the outside in and creating a bright and uplifting environment. A contemporary vertical column radiator adds both warmth and a modern design feature to the space. The kitchen sink is positioned along the side wall within further base units, offering additional storage.

The back wall incorporates a highly useful internal pantry-style storage area, fitted with shelving and cupboards, ideal for keeping the main kitchen clutter-free. French doors lead through to a larger pantry/utility space, currently used for laundry, with plumbing in place for a washer and dryer. A further door from the kitchen provides access to a downstairs WC and an additional entrance area from the driveway, offering further space for coats and shoes. The WC includes a wash hand basin and wall-mounted mirror with an internal television.

Back through to the hallway, the staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where there is access to the bedrooms and house bathroom, along with a useful storage cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Bedroom one is a generous double room with side and rear aspect windows, offering lovely views across the stunning rear gardens and towards Kendal's rooftops. Parallel to this room is the house bathroom, a stylish and contemporary space featuring a four-piece suite. Marble-effect tiling to the walls and floor is complemented by panelled detailing, creating a refined finish. The bathroom includes a WC, wash hand basin, walk-in shower with overhead rainfall head, and a beautiful roll-top bath with handheld attachment, along with a heated towel rail and front aspect windows. The room is also installed with underfloor heating.

Bedroom three is a further large double room, benefiting from built-in storage for hanging and shelving, along with easy access to the loft where the property's boiler is located. Bedroom four is a smaller double room with front aspect windows overlooking the driveway. A door with steps leads down to bedroom two, another double room with side aspect windows, which also benefits from its own ensuite. The ensuite features a three-piece suite including a WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with overhead rainfall shower, with additional storage beneath. As well as the principal bathroom, the en-suite also has underfloor heating.

Externally, the property is set within truly exceptional, beautifully maintained gardens which wrap around the home, creating a private and picturesque setting that is a real highlight of the property. The grounds are bordered by mature hedging, trees and established planting, offering a wonderful sense of seclusion. The gardens are simply gorgeous, with expansive lawns providing ample space for outdoor entertaining, family life and relaxation.

Mature trees are dotted throughout, including a striking copper beech with a secondary beech nearby (both without TPO), and a silver birch to the rear with TPO. A charming, low-maintenance pond with an organic teardrop shape is edged with natural stone, adding further character to the grounds.

Positioned beside the pond is a delightful grillkota, a traditional Scandinavian-style structure designed for year-round socialising and cooking around a central fire, offering a unique and inviting outdoor feature.

Following the lawn around the side of the property leads to the rear garden, where a paved patio sits directly outside the kitchen-perfect for alfresco dining. Beyond this lies a generous lawned area, leading up to a tiered section with stepping stones guiding you to a further seating area nestled amongst trees and shrubs. The rear elevation of the property is beautifully softened by established wisteria climbing across the stone wall, adding a stunning seasonal display and enhancing the already idyllic setting.

A flagged pathway continues around the side of the property, returning to the main driveway, where there is a converted garage currently used as a home office, complete with side aspect windows and useful storage space. Adjacent to this are log storage areas and two additional sheds, providing further practical outdoor storage.

In conclusion, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully characterful family home, perfectly suited to a wide range of buyers. The property will particularly appeal to those looking to relocate closer to the Lake District, offering the perfect balance of town convenience and easy access to the surrounding countryside. With its generous accommodation, period charm and truly stunning gardens, it is ideal for families, professionals or those seeking a long-term home in a highly desirable location.
