Lake District house with great views 2 mins walk from the river
Our spacious detached home is on the edge of the Lake District National Park with tremendous views over fells and fields. Our house comfortably sleeps 5 or more people and is located on a private road, a two minute walk to the river Kent and a twenty minute walk to the centre of Kendal. We have a small front garden and a large sloping back garden with seating area, apple trees and views over sheep fields, the River Kent and the Cumbrian fells.
Our large wooden floored dining room/kitchen with its wood burning stove is the perfect place for relaxing on the sofa while gazing at the sheep fields and fells of the Lake District. Our 1930s house with its feature stained glass windows is on two floors and heated throughout with central heating. Our comfortable downstairs lounge has a sofa and large seat (more wonderful views), piano, Smart TV, wood burning stove and a selection of books of local interest. The downstairs laundry room has a washing machine. Muddy boots and wellies can be stored in an outside porch. The garage has a pool table and 3 bikes of various adult/junior sizes.
A small golf course and public driving range is a 5 minutes walk. We have excellent transport links, Oxenholme (a 10 minute drive) is on the west coast mainline with direct trains to Manchester (1 hour 15 mins), Edinburgh (2 hours) and London (2 hours 45 minutes). The M6 motorway is only 15 minutes away from the house.

About the neighborhood
The centre of the vibrant market town of Kendal is a pleasant twenty minute walk from the House (partly along the river). The River Kent is a two minute walk away where you can swim or nature watch (we regularly see Oyster Catchers and Mergansers and occasionally Otters and Kingfishers). The small peaceful village of Staveley is a 10 minute drive away (or 1 hour along the Dales Way) where you can enjoy its riverside Cafe (in a converted mill), bike shop, marvellous Eagle and Child pub or amazing bakery.
The boundary of the Lake District National park is a mile away with easy access (by bus, train or road) to Lake Windermere (12 minutes drive), Ambleside (30 mins), Grasmere (35 minutes) Keswick (45 minutes).
Kendal is home to many cafes, shops, supermarkets (including Booths), pubs, restaurants, a Castle and the excellent Brewery Arts Centre (home to the Kendal Mountain film Festival) with its cinema, programme of international musicians and theatre performances. A great place to spend an evening out. There are many country pubs (many with their own breweries) within driving distance).

Sehr schönes Heim in Kendal und sympathische Tauschfamilie. Wir hatten alles, das wir brauchten und auch viel Kartenmaterial für interessante Ausflüge. Die Lake District Gegend ist für Leute, die gerne Draussen sind. Ideal zum Wandern und Biken. Es hat sehr schöne Orte in der Nähe mit gemütlichen Pubs.
