Description

3 Riverside is discreetly positioned on a quiet private lane in the heart of the charming market town of Kirkby Stephen. Enjoying a peaceful riverside setting, the property is just a short walk from the town's wide range of amenities, combining tranquillity with convenience.

Kirkby Stephen is a well-connected yet characterful town, located just ten miles from Junction 38 of the M6 and ideally situated for access to Kendal, Penrith, Appleby, and the Lake District. The town lies along the scenic Settle–Carlisle railway line and is intersected by both the Coast to Coast and Lady Anne's Way walking routes, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. With a strong sense of community, Kirkby Stephen offers a range of amenities including highly regarded primary and grammar schools, independent shops, welcoming pubs and cafés, essential services, a weekly market, and a traditional agricultural auction mart.

The property dates back to 1845 and offers character and charm throughout, the property is spacious with high ceilings and retains original features such as the bay window, picture rails, alcoves and exposed floorboards. On the ground floor is a large open plan dining/ living room with a wood burning stove and a kitchen at the rear.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the front bedroom having lovely views over the river and access to the jack and jill shower room. The rear double bedroom overlooks the garden.

Outside, at the rear is an enclosed yard with two stone sheds and path leading out to the rear lane. Across the lane is a large, enclosed garden. This is a great space and could be landscaped if required. The property owns the frontage to the middle of the river, this creates an off road parking space by the front door.
