Property description

Location: Situated on the south side of the Market Town of Kendal being close to the Brewery Arts Centre and cinema, restaurants and Abbott Hall Park. The property can be found by way of Kirkland by turning left onto Gillinggate opposite the entrance to Abbott Hall Park. Proceed up the hill, pass the turning onto Anchorite Road and the property is the second on your left.  

Description: This splendid 1920's detached town house blends the original character of the period together with 21st century comforts offering a most generous and flexible layout, together with a well presented self contained one/two bedroom flat. The main part of the house with its welcoming reception hall with original oak panelling is complemented by the modern fitted and equipped dining kitchen together with the splendid drawing room and sitting room. Upstairs is a spacious landing and three double bedrooms, the master with an en-suite shower room and a modern contemporary four piece bathroom. The lower ground floor self contained flat offers clear potential for an income from either holiday lets or permanent tenants. There are fine southerly views over the well tended gardens and to complete the picture is a detached garage and off road parking. So if you are seeking a home for the family to spread out or perhaps even to work from, then the next step is an appointment to view.
