Property description
Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the heart of Kendal's vibrant town centre, 1 Archway House presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the best of town living. With artisan shops, welcoming cafes, well-regarded schools, and the renowned Brewery Arts Centre all close at hand, as well as excellent transport links by both bus and rail; this is a home that combines practicality with lifestyle. Recently renovated to a high standard, the property is beautifully finished throughout and ready for its new owners to move in and enjoy.
Upon entering 1 Archway House, you're welcomed into a spacious and bright porchway, featuring an attractive timber entrance door with original fan light overhead. This characterful entrance sets the tone for the rest of the home, combining period charm with contemporary living. From the porch, you step into the inner hallway, where you'll find the ground floor cloakroom neatly tucked beneath the staircase-thoughtfully designed with tiled flooring, a WC and a wash hand basin with tiled splashback, ideal for guests and everyday convenience.
Flowing seamlessly from the hallway, you enter the heart of the home-a generous open-plan living room and kitchen. This light-filled space is designed for modern living and entertaining, with two large arched double-glazed bay windows to the front, fitted with elegant white shutters that offer both privacy and style. A third window at the rear brings even more natural light into the room. Contemporary anthracite vertical radiators add a sleek, modern edge to the space.
The kitchen area has been fitted to a high standard, with wood-effect flooring underfoot, part-tiled walls, and a range of attractive wall and base units offering ample storage. The white marble-effect worktops are beautifully illuminated by under-unit LED lighting and plinth lighting, while integrated Bosch appliances-including a four-ring induction hob, oven, extractor hood, dishwasher and fridge/freezer-make cooking a pleasure. There is also space and plumbing for a washer/dryer. An inset stainless steel sink and drainer complete the kitchen's functional elegance. A rear door provides access to a secure shared courtyard, perfect for bikes.
Moving upstairs, the first floor opens into a spacious and bright landing, from which three well-proportioned bedrooms and the house bathroom are accessed.
To the front of the property, Bedroom Two is a generous double room, featuring two large double-glazed windows that allow in plenty of light, along with a stylish vertical radiator. Adjacent to this is bedroom three, a bright double room with a front-facing aspect, making it an inviting and comfortable space. This room is well suited as a guest bedroom or an additional sleeping area for family. At the rear of the property, bedroom four is a bright single room, with two windows allowing plenty of natural light to fill the space. Though compact, it offers excellent flexibility, perfect as a dressing room, hobby room, home office or a quiet corner adaptable to the needs of its next owner.
The house bathroom is a standout feature, presented to a luxurious standard with complementary tiled flooring, downlights, and a modern LED-lit touch-screen wall mirror. The four-piece suite includes a large walk-in tiled shower cubicle with rainfall head, a double-ended freestanding bath with central tap and hand-held shower attachment, a pedestal wash basin, and a WC. A chrome heated towel rail adds warmth and style.
Ascending to the second floor, you'll find the expansive principal bedroom suite, a superb retreat with a vaulted ceiling, contemporary downlights, and a large, automated Velux roof light complete with fitted blind, flooding the space with natural light and ventilation at the touch of a button. A modern vertical radiator provides efficient heating, while the adjoining en-suite shower room is designed for relaxation and ease. It features attractive tiling, an inset display niche, a large shower cubicle with rainfall head, pedestal wash basin, WC, LED-lit mirror and chrome towel radiator.
Completing this luxurious top floor is a walk-in storage room with exposed beams and double-glazed window. This space also houses the efficient 35kW Worcester combination boiler. This generous additional space is ideal for clothing, linens and general storage.
To the rear of the property, accessed via a private side passage, is a secure, well-lit shared courtyard complete with bike storage and bin area.
This beautifully presented home is ready for immediate occupation and the prospective buyer is to benefit from no onward chain. With high quality finishings and fittings throughout, upgraded soundproofing that exceeds current building regulations and timeless attention to detail at every turn; don't miss the opportunity to make this property your next home or investment.
