Gillinggate, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9

OVERVIEW

Presented and maintained to a high standard, this lovely end terraced house is a wonderful example of Victorian charm seamlessly blended with modern fittings - ideal for up to date family living. Located within walking distance of the town centre, Brewery Arts Centre, Abbot Hall Park and a choice of Primary and Secondary Schools, the property is ideal for buyers looking to take advantage of everything Kendal has to offer. The accommodation is over three floors - the bay windowed sitting room is a calm and relaxing space and there is a vibrant dining room adjoining the kitchen. The current owners have reconfigured the extension off the kitchen creating a handy utility room and shower room - a must for busy households. Four double bedrooms are spread over the first and second floors - each with a pleasant outlook and there is a family bathroom with period inspired suite. A generous home with style and character in abundance.

ACCOMMODATION

Set back from the road, the property is approached over a gravel forecourt with path leading to the ornate period door with stained glass panes and traditional hardware. A vestibule provides space to shed wet coats and shoes and a further period glazed door leads into the hall. Wood style flooring runs through into the two reception rooms, unifying the space and the period features continue. The sitting room faces the front aspect - the deep bay window is a lovely feature and there is a Morso woodburner set on a polished slate hearth.

The dining room is at the rear of the house. Decorated in a vibrant yellow, the room has a homely feel and is perfect for everyday meals and entertaining. There is a second woodburner and a generous understairs cupboard (with light). Fitted with cream shaker style units and wood block effect worktops, the adjoining kitchen has a gas hob with hood above, electric double oven with grill and a traditional ceramic sink. There is space for an upright fridge freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. The boiler is concealed within a wall unit.

Reconfigured by the current owners, a utility room and shower room have been created at the rear of the house.

Once on the first floor, the well decorated stairwell continues to the second floor. The split landing has period doors to each of the bedrooms and bathroom and there is a generous built-in cupboard.
