Property description
Location: Travelling south out of Kendal on the A6 Milnthorpe Road, Lumley Road is the last turning to the right hand side before the open fields. Lumley Road is a private no through road and Number 8 can be found a short way up the hill on the left hand side enjoying a south facing aspect.
Description: Built in the 1950's this splendid detached family home stands on a large south facing plot that offers plenty of parking and turning and well tended gardens to all sides. Inside you will find a well balanced layout that offers potential for the new owners to alter and extend if required. On the ground floor is a spacious entrance hall, cloakroom, dual aspect sitting room and separate dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen with walk-in pantry and a large utility room. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a four piece bathroom and small shower room and a splendid attic studio/playroom and to complete the picture is a large attached double garage.
Note: Part of the garden on the easterly boundary remains in the ownership of The Leven's Hall Estate as it was intended as an access route to the adjoining field (soon to be developed). In our opinion it is extremely unlikely that this intend route will ever be used.
