Property information

Right in the heart of Kendal, this beautiful Georgian house has a layout which gives an extended family or group of friends plenty of room to spread out and have their own private spaces. Within a minute's walk of Kendal's high street with it's shops, cafes and restaurants, Kentside House has two of those things rarely found in a central Kendal property, it's own private parking space and a fantastic, private courtyard. The Property: The entrance hall leads to a large lounge with original fireplace (not currently in working order) and smart TV, a door leads out to the private courtyard with planting and an outside dining area. The entrance hall also has a door leading into the dining room with seating for eight. A flight of stairs leads up to a king sized bedroom with a Westmorland window and an ensuite with drench shower, toilet and basin. From the dining room you can also access the office/working space and the fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, oven, gas hob, dishwasher and washer/dryer. A flight of stairs up from the entrance hall leads to a bathroom with a shower over the bath, toilet and hand basin. A door from the bathroom also allows access to the second king sized bedroom with another door to this bedroom from the hallway. A further flight of stairs leads up to the two single bedrooms which can be made into twin bedrooms. Both of these rooms have space saving stairs up to a carpeted loft space. The top floor also contains a bathroom with a shower over the bath, a toilet and hand basin. Please note that the property may not be suitable for those with toddlers and infants as it does not have a travel cot, high chair or stair gates. The stairs from the single bedrooms to the loft space are very steep and young children should not use them unattended. The house also has many period features including sash windows and parents with young children should ensure that they are supervised and/or the window locks are fastened.

Neighbourhood information

Just a few minutes walk will take you onto the high street and a few steps in the opposite direction will allow you to access the beautiful and quiet river side areas and Abbot Hall Art gallery and park. A short walk will take you up the hill to the ruins of Kendal Castle (owned by Katherine Parr's family, who was the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII) for panoramic views over the town and to the Lake District Fells in the North and West and to Morecambe Bay in the South. Other Things To Note: Please be aware that as Kentside House is over 200 years old there are some quirks which come with this age of property. For example it has single pane sash windows which have warped with age so some don't open as much as they used to and may rattle in high winds. The house also sees periodic visits from harmless wood lice. They have been 'treated' but we have been advised that to eradicate them completely would involve tearing up the internal fabric of the house. If you have a phobia or concerns about such creatures then Kentside House is probably not for you! Additional Guests: The single beds each have a trundle bed underneath which pulls out to form a standard height single bed so a further two guests can be accommodated, with prior approval, for an additional fee. Please request this at the time of booking and ensure you receive confirmation that your request has been granted. Parking and Public Transport: The property has an off-road car parking space outside the property and there are also two SLDC car parks within 100 yards of Kentside. Dowkers Lane car park is an outside car park with 86 spaces and South Lakeland House is a multi storey car park with 194 spaces. Kendal Bus Station is a 6 minute walk from Kentside and Kendal Train Station is an 11 minute walk. Oxenholme Station with direct West Coast Mainline links to London and Glasgow is a 7 minute drive from Kentside.
