Property description
Tucked away down a well-maintained and characterful yard in the heart of Kendal, this exceptional three-bedroom duplex apartment offers a rare combination of modern style, period charm and town-centre convenience. Just a short stroll from local shops, cafés and amenities with stunning views of the historic Kendal Castle, this is a truly special home ideal for professionals, downsizers or anyone seeking a refined base in the Lake District market town.
Accessed via a smart communal entrance, newly updated with fresh paintwork and clean aesthetic carpeting, the shared hallway sets a welcoming tone before reaching the apartment itself. Two flights of stairs lead you to the distinctive burgundy front door of Number 3. Step inside to a light-filled and stylish entrance hall, where characterful engineered wooden flooring adds warmth and elegance. This flooring continues throughout much of the main level, unifying the space with its timeless appeal.
On the left hand side is Bedroom Three, currently utilised as a spacious and quiet home office. This flexible room enjoys a rear outlook and features an original fireplace that adds a touch of period character. Discreetly tucked away within the room is a deep under-stairs storage cupboard, fitted with built-in shelving, ideal for storing household essentials or office supplies.
Moving along the hallway, the home opens into a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living room; the heart of the property. Bathed in natural light from three front-aspect traditional timber sash windows, this impressive space offers spectacular, far-reaching views toward the historic Kendal Castle. The living area is arranged around a striking original stone mantelpiece with an open gas fire, creating a cosy focal point for relaxing or entertaining. The space is thoughtfully proportioned, allowing for a variety of furniture layouts to suit the new owner's style and needs. The kitchen, stylishly refitted in 2019, is both practical and refined. White marble worktops offer a clean, contemporary feel, complemented by a full range of integrated appliances including a NEFF four-ring induction hob, extractor, oven, microwave, fridge freezer,washing machine and inset sink with drainer. A glass-fronted display cabinet adds a touch of elegance.
Down the hall, you will find Bedroom Two, a spacious and inviting double room with a feature fireplace and a pleasant front-facing aspect. Next to the bedroom, the large walk-in storage room or pantry, a practical bonus offering extensive shelving and room for additional storage or household items.
Opposite Bedroom Two is the generously proportioned main shower room. This beautifully finished space includes a large walk-in shower with a waterfall-style shower head, a floating wash hand basin, a contemporary WC and a heated towel rail. Part-tiled walls and tiled flooring enhance the sense of quality, while a built-in linen cupboard conveniently houses the boiler and provides useful storage.
Ascending the stairs to the upper level, you are greeted by the principal bedroom, a truly charming and characterful retreat. The room benefits from exposed wooden ceiling vaults and dual-aspect roof lights that flood the space with natural light. Built-in triple wardrobes make excellent use of the space, and discreet under-eaves cupboards provide additional hidden storage. This serene bedroom leads into a private en-suite bathroom, complete with a jacuzzi bath and overhead shower, floating WC, wash hand basin and further under-eaves storage, ideal for linens or seasonal items.
The property also includes an allocated off-road parking space, offering convenience right in the centre of town. Additionally, a private shed provides secure storage for outdoor equipment, bikes, or tools.
This thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Kendal living, where historic charm meets modern comfort and where every window tells a story.
