Park Avenue, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9

OVERVIEW

Within walking distance of schools, open green space and the town centre, this traditional terraced house is tastefully presented throughout and seamlessly blends old with new. Farrow and Ball paint colours have been used in many of the rooms and period features have been retained where possible. The ground floor has a lovely bay windowed lounge and separate dining room - both with fireplaces and there is a modern kitchen with access to the courtyard. The first floor has a generous double bedroom plus a single and a refreshed bathroom with four piece suite. A developed loft completes the internal accommodation. Externally, the owners have maximised the space available, creating a pretty forecourt garden with cottage planting at the front and a courtyard style retreat at the rear. Once the home of renowned Lakeland photographer, Joseph Hardman, this lovely home is a real find and viewing is essential.

ACCOMMODATION

Traditional railings and an attractive front garden set the scene perfectly when approaching the property. A traditional front door welcomes you into the hallway. The retained features begin to reveal themselves with cornicing, a dado rail and stripped wooden doors. The lounge leads off to the left. The traditional fireplace has pretty Art Nouveau inset tiles and a grate for an open fire. Cupboards are set to the alcoves either side and light streams in from the bay window. The dining room is at the rear of the house, again having a traditional fireplace with alcove cupboards but this time a woodburner provides heat. The floorboards have been exposed and there is a pleasant outlook over the rear courtyard. Unusually for a property in this location, there is a cellar beneath the dining room. Having limited head height, the space is perfect for storage and has a light.

There is a single bedroom at the rear with pleasant outlook between houses. The bathroom has been refreshed in recent times - fitted with a quadrant shower enclosure, WC, cast metal bath and a hand basin.
