Property description

Location: Kentrigg is situated in one of Kendal's most sought after locations alongside the River Kent. Leaving Kendal on the Burneside Road continue under the Railway bridge, pass Kentrigg Walk on your right and then take the next right onto Kentrigg opposite the entrance for Briery Meadows. Follow the private road along bearing left at the junction with the lane that leads down to Kent Lea and continue to the far end, the property is last one on your left just before the footpath that leads down to Kent Lea and Burneside Road. 

Description: This 1930's detached traditionally built bungalow with rendered walls and a Welsh slate roof stands in an elevated location with fine views across open countryside to the distant fells beyond. The living space is spacious and well balanced with two reception rooms and three bedrooms, kitchen with walk-in pantry, bathroom and separate WC. The bungalow has been well maintained but is now in need of some modernisation with the loft space offering potential for conversion if desired. The undercroft space is ideal for those with hobbies and for storage and there is a detached garage, parking and well tended gardens.



Note: The road leading down to the property is a private road owned by the residents of Kentrigg who contribute £25 a year into a road association fund that goes towards repairs and up keep of the road.
