Bank House is a deceptively spacious apartment situated in the heart of Kirkby Stephen.
Kirkby Stephen lies some 12 miles from the M6 at Tebay, J38 and 4 miles from the A66 at Brough, and provides a good range of everyday facilities including a supermarket, general shops, bank, hotels and public houses, primary and secondary schools and many sports clubs. Carlisle, Penrith and Kendal are within commuting distance, and the town also benefits from a station on the historic Settle - Carlisle railway line.
The property has been sympathetically renovated by the current vendors,
benefitting from gated driveway parking and a large garden.
The accommodation is spacious, located over three floors.
On the ground floor is an entrance hallway with understairs storage. On the first floor, there is a large dining kitchen, snug with open fire, formal sitting room, home office, shower room, utility room and guest bedroom. The guest bedroom and utility has the scope to be a self-contained annexe if required.
On the second floor, there is the master bedroom, with bespoke fitted wardrobes, a further double bedroom and the house bathroom.
Outside, there are three garden stores, one with power ideal for housing an additional freezer. The gardens are large, there are steps up to a lovely, enclosed private garden with long distance views and additional patio areas are strategically placed within the gardens. There is a large area of astro, surrounded by well stocked beds and matures trees and shrubs.
Bank House is a superb family, investment or retirement home.
