ONE of Kendal’s finest period terraces is the location of this week’s featured property.

Number 7 Airethwaite is on the market for £515,000 with Thomson Hayton Winkley.

This beautiful end-terrace house enjoys fine views across town towards Benson Knott from its elevated position, close to the town centre.

Laid out over four floors, the property offers fabulous family accommodation, with an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room and shower room on the ground floor; three bedrooms and a five-piece house bathroom on the first floor; two bedrooms on the second floor; and a workshop and store on the lower ground floor, both with light and power.

This magnificent property is completed by gardens at the front, side and back, and ample off-road parking. Meanwhile, traditional character features include fireplaces, deep skirting boards, cornicing and picture rails.

A timber front door with stained glass fanlight sets the scene, leading into the entrance hall with its Victorian tiled floor, cornice and alcove. The sitting room offers fantastic views through its sliding sash window, and a Victorian tiled open fireplace adds to the period feel, together with cornicing, a ceiling rose and picture rail.

The dining room has a cosy, living-flame gas fire set within a fireplace, and the kitchen is fitted with a good range of units, a white porcelain sink, built-in double oven, five-burner gas hob with extractor hood, plumbing for a dishwasher, and space for a fridge. Details include a picture rail, lighting under the wall units, and a tiled splashback.

A utility room supplies useful space for a freezer and washing machine, and also houses the gas central heating boiler.

The ground-floor shower room is equipped with a three-piece suite, comprising a basin, fully tiled shower cubicle and toilet, as well as a built-in cupboard, loft access and tiled walls.

Two bedrooms and a third bedroom/study are located on the first floor, all with picture rails and double-glazed sliding sash windows, and two with wonderful views. The family bathroom offers a five-piece suite in white with a freestanding cast-iron roll-top bath on ball-and-claw feet, with a mixer shower; a fully tiled shower cubicle; basin, toilet and bidet. There are recessed spotlights and a tiled floor, and the walls are partly panelled with tongue-and-groove to enhance the heritage feel.

The second-floor landing features a Velux-style window and exposed beams, and leads to two further bedrooms, one of which has a lovely cast-iron fireplace and scenic views. Both rooms have two double-glazed Velux windows.

Stepping outside, there is a garden at the front of the house, while at the side are raised grounds offering tremendous views, established trees and shrubs, and paved patio seating areas. At the back is ample gravelled parking, with gated access, and a timber storage shed.
