So peacefully situated, it's easy to forget the Old Vicarage is nestled in central Kendal. Park up at the front of the house, or take the back lane behind the house and pull up on the driveway where there is space for parking at the rear.

Ahead, a traditional front door is topped by a handsome transom window, drawing light in to the entrance hall beyond, lined in period Victorian black and white tiling. Turn left into the sitting room, a quiet room decorated in a neutral Farrow and Ball palette with light oak flooring.

Across the way is the lounge, also bay-fronted and of a balanced size. A fitted log burner sits within an eye-catching, original, wooden and blue-tiled fireplace. Decorated in elegant, earthy tones, this cosy lounge is the ideal place to relax, with views out towards the garden and river.

Carry on ahead into the dining room, where bifold doors open out to the terrace and patio. Oak flooring is met with light grey walls, creating a calm and relaxing environment. In summertime, open the doors and enjoy breakfast on the terrace. The hub of the home and true focal point is the contemporary open-plan kitchen-living area ahead.

Arrive at the next level, home to the master bedroom and bedroom two. Featuring a balance of original features and contemporary touches, pass through the wooden door into the master to the right, where a window seat captures views out over the river and weir across Gooseholme. An original fireplace adds to the ambience.

Crossing the landing, discover bedroom two, fitted again with a window seat, fireplace. An added bonus of this bedroom is its ensuite, tiled in cream and featuring shower, wash basin and WC.

Ascend one more flight of stairs to reach the third floor, with stunning views over the river and fells beyond. Embrace the work-from home movement from an office, which boasts incredible views out over the greens to the river. Also a potential fifth bedroom, this room offers additional flexibility.


Garden
Beyond the yard, easily accessed directly from the kitchen's bifolding doors, is a large patio area unfurling to an enormous rear lawn. Stretching back to a far wall, this secret garden is the perfect retreat. Replete with apple trees, a vegetable plot, oak and elm trees and a Japanese maple, this garden epitomises the key motif of this home: balance.
