OUR property of the week is a three-bedroom townhouse tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Kendal town centre.

Number 3 Sleddale Gardens is on the market with agents Milne Moser for £244,000, who describe it as a “great property” which will appeal to a variety of buyers. The asking price has just been reduced and there is no onward chain.

Built in 2009, the house is near Gooseholme and St George’s Church, and has attractive views over rooftops towards Kendal Castle. Popular with families and first-time buyers alike, the neighbourhood has a mix of grand period residences, townhouses and quirky terraced cottages.

Stepping through the wooden front door into the laminate-floored hall, there is a handy built-in coat cupboard and a feature curved wall. The ground-floor bedroom is L-shaped and has a door leading to the patio garden, while the tiled en-suite is fitted with a white suite offering a shower cubicle, pedestal basin and toilet. There is also a heated chrome towel rail.

Up to the first floor, an arched double-glazed window overlooks the front of the house, and the curved wall continues. The lounge has lovely views over rooftops to Kendal Castle, and there is a gas point for a fire or stove.

Glazed double doors lead to the family dining kitchen, giving an open-plan feel, and there is space for a good-sized table. Pale oak-style wall cupboards contrast with dark worktops and tiled splashbacks, and there is an electric hob with canopy hood, electric oven, built-in fridge and freezer, one-and-a-half bowl sink with drainer. The kitchen has Karndean flooring.

The second-floor landing houses a generously sized built-in cupboard with shelves, and the first bedroom looks towards the church and the castle in the distance, while the second bedroom’s outlook is to the back of the house. The bathroom has a Velux roof window and a white suite with bath and shower over, pedestal basin, loo, heated chrome towel rail and wall-mounted cupboard.

The garage with its remote-control door can be reached from the hallway, and it has power, light, plumbing for a washing machine, and a water tap. There is off-road parking in front of the house, and the garden at the back is gravelled for ease of maintenance. However, it could be landscaped to create an urban courtyard-style space for sitting out and enjoying the sunshine in privacy.

Number 3 Sleddale Gardens is subject to a local occupancy clause. Following minor flooding in December 2015, a schedule of repair works has been completed with protection measures including floodgates, self-closing airbricks and non-return valves; plus platform storage and a step in the garage.
