Summary - DAMSON FOLD CROSTHWAITE KENDAL LA8 8HT
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Quiet Lake District location with large garden and garage, ideal for retirement.
Elevated countryside and fell views from main reception and bedroom
Set within the Lake District National Park, this traditional three-bedroom detached home sits on a large, private plot with elevated views across the fells. The house offers a thoughtful split-level layout with a generous sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, ground-floor double bedroom with ensuite, and two further double bedrooms upstairs. Low-maintenance terraces and a flat lawn below make the garden easy to enjoy, and a detached single garage plus parking for several cars add practical appeal.
The property has been well cared for by the current owners and benefits from double glazing, oil central heating and an available ultrafast 1Gbps connection via B4RN. The village of Crosthwaite has a lively community, an outstanding primary school and local amenities, while Kendal and Bowness are each about five miles away with good access to the M6 for commuters.
Important practical points: heating is oil‑fired and the property drains to a private septic tank, which will require routine servicing. Council tax sits above average (Band E) and the layout includes eaves/under‑stair storage rather than large built-in wardrobes throughout. Those seeking a lock‑up‑and‑leave second home or a comfortable retirement base will find this an attractive, low‑maintenance option; families will appreciate the village school and outdoor access from the doorstep.
Overall this house offers rural character, scenic outlooks and a generous plot in a peaceful hamlet. It suits buyers looking for countryside tranquillity with good digital connectivity and straightforward grounds, with the usual ongoing costs and servicing considerations of oil heating and a private sewage system.
