This position is ideal for those looking to commute. The market town of Kendal is close by for a wide range of amenities and the smaller market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is set south east with a range of independent shops and eateries. For those looking to go further afield, the M6 motorway can be accessed via Junction 36 or alternatively Junction 37. For those with families there is an excellent choice of local schooling both primary and secondary and for those with a love for the outdoors the location is set on the edge of both the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The accommodation is well proportioned and arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading to a living room and into a dining room/second sitting room which was a later addition to the property in 1994, offering flexible reception space. There is a kitchen with adjoining utility area and a ground floor shower room, presenting clear potential for reconfiguration.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and a separate WC. The layout lends itself to updating and possible reworking to suit modern living arrangements. The floor area is generous enough to provide additional bedroom space should purchasers wish.
Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking and gardens to both the front and rear. Beyond the main garden lies an additional paddock area, enhancing the overall plot and offering further possibilities. The overall site extends to approximately half an acre, providing a rare degree of outdoor space in such a convenient location. The property and its grounds enjoy views over open countryside.
