2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Burton Road, Kendal LA9

A wonderful home with beautiful extensive gardens tucked away behind a high stone wall and bordering onto the old Kendal canal. The property has pretty stone elevations and commanding views from the sun room over the large show piece garden that will be the envy of all your friends. Built in 1935, the house has only had two owners from new and the current residents have looked after the property meticulously. The accommodation comprises of an entrance hall, lounge diner, sun room, a well fitted kitchen and cloakroom whilst to the first floor you will find two double bedrooms and a large bathroom. With the benefits of double glazing and gas central heating.

Externally you will find a landscaped and fully stocked garden in a generous plot with an abundance of specimen plants and mature shrubs and trees. There are paths for access and a well kept lawn with deep borders. There are also a number of timber outbuildings and an aviary, plus a large woodland area that offers scope for further development, most obviously for the creation of off-road parking which is currently lacking from the property.

This is a truly charming and unique property and will suit buyers with a love for spending time at home in the garden with family and friends. There is plenty of potential to extend the living accommodation for those looking for bigger accommodation or to simply enjoy this superb home as it is.

The location is also ideal for Kendal town centre, which is to be found just a mile away and here you will discover a wide range of independent shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. Asda Supermarket is a 5 minute walk away as is Kirkbie Academy School. Oxenholme Station is a mile-away and connects you with the main West Coast Line, and the M6 is easily reached at junction 36. And for those looking to explore the Lake District, you can be in the heart of the National Park at Windermere in 15 minutes by car.

Gardens

Decades of planning, planting and nurturing has produced a breath-taking garden. At the front of the house the land slopes downwards towards the house and is adorned with plants and ornamental trees which can be admired from the path as you make your way to the front door. A timber gate to the side of the house leads to the side garden, which has hard standing areas and is a place for decorative pots and planters, as well as housing a more formal style of planting with shaped hedges, an arch and a patio area. You can access the timber framed aviary and a garden shed, and then behind some decorative trellis lies a green house. From the sun room and running down to the bottom boundary of the garden is a well kept lawn with deep planted borders.

Beyond the aviary is a good sized piece of unmade land which offers scope for the potential of creating parking and perhaps a garage, subject of course to planning permission.

Potential For Parking

The current owners did consult with the council about the creation of parking and this was considered positively. Documentation can be viewed by interested parties.
