Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Corner Cottage:
1. Georgian splendour - for many people Georgian architecture is a favourite, it is graceful, restrained and elegant. This delightful townhouse is a fine example, it's not a huge house and that's part of the charm.
2. Grade II Listed with fine character features the staircase, marble fireplaces, decorative tiled floor in the hall, sash windows and shutters, panel doors, stained and leaded top light to the front door, cornices and picture dado rails. There is also the original door bell on the landing.
3. Refurbished since the owners' purchase in 2019 with a new solid oak kitchen, updated bathroom, upgraded cloakroom to a shower room, installed a new boiler and secondary glazing creating a modern home for the 21st Century.
4. Well-proportioned and sun-filled accommodation over four floors 1905 sq ft (177.0 sq m excluding the cellar) with a four square layout. Come on in... to the staircase hall with large three piece shower room on the left with plenty of room for coats, boots and shoes. On the right is the dual aspect sitting room with Carrera marble fireplace and gas stove. The dining room, also on the right, has twin illuminated arched glass shelved recesses with cupboards under. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, granite worktops, pot sink and a built-in part glazed cupboard. There's also a useful shelved pantry with original slate shelving.
5. Sweet dreams - the attractive staircase leads to the first floor landing with linen cupboard; there's also space for a study area. There are three double bedrooms, two with fireplaces, and one with a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom is lovely and light with a free standing roll top bath, walk-in shower, marble topped vanity unit with twin wash basins and lovely rooftop views.
6. The second floor offers a fourth bedroom with skylight window, undereaves storage and en suite cloakroom, perfect for the children, grandchildren or for guests to be self-contained. This could also be used as a home office.
7. Good sized cellar rooms - from the entrance hall, stone steps lead to two rooms (353 sq ft (32.8 sq m) providing excellent storage.
8. Outdoor space - there's a flagged, west facing courtyard garden with raised borders, screened from passersby with high walls and evergreen hedging. To the north is an enclosed rear yard with pedestrian access onto the lane.
9. Parking - as with many properties in Kirkby Lonsdale there's no parking with the property, residents buy annual permits from Westmorland & Furness Council and use the centrally located car park in the middle of town. Easy.
10. Set in the heart of this award-winning town yet enjoying great accessibility to open countryside, the town also has excellent connectivity with links to road and rail networks.
