The town is just 5 miles from the A66 and 10 miles from junction 38 of the M6 motorway and is well placed for Kendal, Penrith, Barnard Castle, Appleby and the Lake District. The scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway is on the doorstep and the busy Coast to Coast national footpath runs through the town. Kirkby Stephen has highly regarded primary and grammar schools as well as a good range of shops, restaurants, pubs, church, chapel and doctors surgery. There is still a weekly outdoor market and an agricultural auction mart.
The property has recently been semi-renovated by the current seller, works completed have included re-wiring, new electric heaters and some re plastering. The remaining work has been intentionally left to be finished by the purchasers, depending on their intentions with the building.
