4 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Kendal, LA8 9AZ £750,000

To the left, the dining area continues the theme of natural warmth, its wood-clad vaulted ceilings complemented by modern industrial-style track lighting, forming a stylish setting for gathering and dining; complete with French doors leading to the balcony. Moving towards the rear, the home divides into two wings. On one side, the impressive breakfast kitchen makes the most of its dual aspect views stretching down the valley. With high-end integrated appliances, including a steam oven and grill, microwave combi oven, fridge-freezer, Bosch dishwasher, NEFF induction hob and concealed extractor. This kitchen balances functionality with timeless charm. Oak worktops, LED strip lighting and a reclaimed granite feature from the original home add character, while a door leads out to the patio and garden beyond.

On the opposite wing, three first-floor bedrooms and a shower room form a peaceful sleeping area. Bedroom Two is a generous double with dual aspect views across the front landscape and built-in sliding glass wardrobes. Bedroom Three offers exceptional versatility with its cleverly designed mezzanine bed level, making full use of the room's height and creating a unique, inviting space ideal for a guest room, studio, or child's bedroom. Bedroom Four, a comfortable single with a calming rear aspect, provides a cosy retreat that would suit a nursery or serve as a quiet study. The adjoining shower room is easily accessible to all three bedrooms and includes tiled floors, an electric overhead shower, WC and a vanity wash hand basin.

The detached double garage adds further practicality, fitted with one electric up-and-over door and one traditional manual door. Above, a wonderful purpose built upper floor provides a spacious games room or office, complete with French doors opening to its own private balcony. A peaceful, elevated space ideal for work, creativity, hobbies, or quiet relaxation.

Externally, the property enjoys a west-facing front lawn lined with mature trees, offering excellent privacy. To the side, steps lead up to the games room/office and the rear lawn. A patio accessed directly from the kitchen provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in the sun. Towards the rear of the gardens lies a peaceful woodland area, a haven for breeding owls and other wildlife, which borders open fields and offers far-reaching views up Long Sleddale.

The driveway, shared only at its entrance with a neighbouring property, gently branches into its own private approach, reinforcing the sense of seclusion. Despite the tranquillity, the home is just moments from the vibrant market town of Kendal, offering the perfect balance between rural charm and everyday convenience. This exquisite property captures the essence of Lake District living-a rare opportunity to enjoy inspiring landscapes, refined comfort, and the quiet luxury of life in Long Sleddale.
