Attractive Kirkby Lonsdale Apartment

Property Description

A delightful end-terraced cottage sitting in the hamlet of Preston Patrick. S80773 (say it quickly and it equates to 'This Is It' – you can't say it without smiling!) offers guests an ideal base from which to explore the Lake District to the west and Yorkshire Dales to the east. Built in 1865 the cottage enjoyed a former life as a sweet shop serving children from the local school, which is at the other end of the terrace. Cosy and full of charm, S80773 is ideal for couples looking for a romantic bolt hole, or families keen to enjoy a rural holiday but not feel too remote.

Lovers of the outdoors will no doubt appreciate the easy access to woodland, coast and mountains, whilst being secluded enough to find peace from the bustle of the central Lake District. The Lancaster Canal is accessible within a couple of minutes walk from the cottage, which provides a flat and picturesque walk with the possibility of seeing kingfishers, swans, ducks, as well as pike in the canal (fishing is permitted with a licence). A stroll along the local lanes provides some charming views of the local landscape, as well as the Howgills and Lakeland Fells. Local walks include Farleton Knott limestone pavement which is geologically significant, and spectators can catch sight of daredevils enjoying mountain biking, hang-gliding and power gliding from the top. The popular market towns of Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale offer a great selection of shops, tea rooms and traditional pubs serving local produce. Nature lovers will find the coastal village of Silverdale is well worth a visit including rspb Leighton Moss, as seen on BBC 'Autumn Watch', while Morecambe Bay estuary offers fabulous views over the bay to the Lake District mountains. Shop 500 yards, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
