High Meadows, Oxenholme Lane, Natland, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 7QH

Welcome to High Meadows, a charming three-bedroom detached residence occupying an elevated countryside position on Oxenholme Lane, just a short distance from the sought-after village of Natland and within easy reach of Kendal town centre. Set within generous gardens and surrounded by open countryside, the property enjoys an enviable sense of peace and tranquillity, while its elevated position provides particularly impressive views from both the front and rear. To the front, there are far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape towards Scout Scar and the wider Lakeland fells, while to the rear, the outlook extends towards The Helm and across the neighbouring fields. These wonderful views are enjoyed from a number of rooms throughout the property, creating a strong connection with the surrounding countryside and making the most of its elevated position.

While the property would now benefit from some modernisation, it offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, with three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms and excellent storage throughout. Combined with the generous gardens, garage and outstanding outlook, High Meadows presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to create a wonderful family home in a peaceful yet highly accessible location.

A welcoming entrance porch provides an excellent practical space for coats, shoes and outdoor belongings, with tiled flooring and glazed doors opening into the inner hallway. The hallway provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation, together with the staircase rising to the first floor. The downstairs shower room is situated off the hallway and comprises a three-piece suite including a corner shower with handheld attachment, WC and wash hand basin. A side-aspect window provides natural light, with tiled walls completing the room.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, together with a useful built-in table-level breakfast bar. There is space for a freestanding cooker and fridge freezer, alongside a sink with half bowl and drainer. Side and rear windows overlook the gardens and take full advantage of the elevated countryside setting and wonderful rear outlook. A serving hatch opens through to the adjoining dining room, creating a practical connection between the two spaces.

A door from the kitchen provides access into the integral garage, which benefits from an up-and-over door, power and lighting, together with excellent storage provision. Two further doors lead into separate useful storage areas, while a rear door provides direct access into the garden.

The dining room is a particularly light and spacious reception room, with expansive rear windows framing the beautiful views towards The Helm and the surrounding countryside. Built-in shelving runs along the length of one wall, providing excellent storage and display space. Double doors open through into the living room, while the living room can also be accessed directly from the hallway.

The living room is a generous and versatile space, benefiting from both front and rear aspect windows and therefore enjoying views in both directions. A fireplace with brick surround and slate hearth provides an attractive focal point, complemented by two fireside benches with useful storage shelving beneath. The dual aspect windows ensure the room enjoys plenty of natural light while making the most of the property's elevated position and surrounding scenery.

The staircase leads to the first floor landing, where an accessible stairlift is currently fitted. The landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom, together with a useful storage cupboard ideal for towels and linen, which also houses the property's hot water cylinder.

The family bathroom comprises a three-piece suite including a panelled bath, vanity wash hand basin and WC, together with front and side aspect windows.

Bedroom Three is currently utilised as a study but offers a versatile space that could equally serve as a single bedroom, nursery or hobby room. The room benefits from a rear aspect window overlooking the gardens and countryside, together with a useful double storage cupboard incorporating hanging space and shelving.

Bedroom Two is a well-proportioned double bedroom with a rear aspect window, again enjoying the elevated outlook towards The Helm and surrounding countryside. A further double storage cupboard provides useful additional storage.

Bedroom One is a particularly spacious principal bedroom, with windows to both the front and rear ensuring an abundance of natural light and providing exceptional views in both directions. Expansive fitted wardrobes extend along one wall, incorporating a built-in vanity unit. This room particularly benefits from the property's elevated position, with wonderful views both front and rear. Indeed, all three bedrooms benefit from the property's elevated setting and enjoy attractive views across the surrounding Lakeland landscape.

Externally, High Meadows continues to impress, with generous gardens providing an excellent amount of outdoor space and an appealing sense of privacy. A driveway to the front provides parking and leads directly to the integral garage. To the front, a flagged patio area overlooks the driveway and takes advantage of the elevated views, while a lawned garden is bordered by established shrubs and hedging, creating a pleasant degree of privacy.

A flagged pathway continues around the side of the property, enclosed by established trees and shrubs, before opening into the considerably larger rear garden. The generous rear lawn is bordered by a variety of established plants and shrubs and provides an excellent space for outdoor entertaining, family use or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The rear garden is perhaps one of the property's greatest assets, with wonderful elevated views towards The Helm and across the open fields beyond. Together with the mature planting, generous lawn and sense of seclusion, it provides a wonderful outdoor setting in which to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

High Meadows is likely to appeal particularly to families, couples or those looking to move away from the immediate hustle and bustle of town while retaining convenient access to Kendal, Natland and the wider transport network. The well-proportioned accommodation, generous gardens, integral garage and exceptional front and rear views offer an excellent foundation for creating a comfortable and individual home. For those seeking a property with scope to modernise and make their own, the combination of space, setting and outlook makes this a particularly appealing opportunity.
