3 bedroom house on the edge of the Lake District, 5 minutes walk from town centre
My house is Victorian in a quiet street with a little garden within a very short walk to Kendal's main shopping street with its restaurants, cafes, museums and very active music scene. Only 15 minutes from Windermere by easy bus route car or cycle, and onward to the wonderful lake district. By train we are 2.5 hours from London, Edinburgh, Glasgow (Newcastle 2 hours) and 90 minutes direct from Manchester Airport. We are 15 minutes drive from the M6 motorway
From the front door there is a lovely walk near the golf course with great views towards the peaks of the Lake district. Kendal has its ruined castle which belonged to one of Henry VIII's wives, Katherine Parr.
The river Kent is two minutes walk with many walks possible from the front door to the countryside above Kendal and its lovely views of the Lake District mountains ("fells"). My gym (riverside hotel) is ten minutes walk with a swimming pool. Guest passes are available at reasonable prices. I have an allotment garden where guests can pick seasonal flowers and vegetables.
