Linstead House - Modern Townhouse with views | House in Kendal

Linstead House is a well-appointed modernist, dog-friendly townhouse that is comfortably furnished and stylishly decorated. Thanks to its elevated location, Linstead House enjoys far reaching views over Kendal and the fells beyond. You can enjoy the views through the large skylight windows on the top level, or step onto the cute mini balcony for a breath of fresh Cumbrian air. Unusually, it is set over four levels so you can spread out to enjoy privacy in different areas of the house and there is even a sheltered rear patio area to enjoy the morning sun. The location is brilliantly handy for walking the few minutes to Kendal town centre, yet it is set back 60 metres off the road and accessed by a pedestrian walkway, so a peaceful night's sleep will be yours.
The property has an upside-down layout, and you enter into the kitchen/dining room. A good ergonomic design and plenty of storage ensures all cooks are well catered for. An unusual architectural feature here is the wide sloping skylight window, through which you have a great view over the rooftops of Kendal to the countryside beyond. Down a flight of stairs to the stylish lounge, which has both a main seating area with TV, and a raised 'mini-library' reading area complete with a rocking chair for you to relax with a good book. A small balcony is accessed via the lounge to give you more views over the town - ideal for a summer evening drink.
The lower two floors contain the three bedrooms. On one level there is a double bedroom and a single bedroom, as well as the house bathroom (shower, basin and WC). Down again to the lower ground floor where you will find the master double bedroom with en-suite containing a bath, WC and basin. Note that the multi level design makes this property unsuitable for infants and younger children, or adults with mobiity issues.
At the rear of the property is a sheltered patio area (a morning suntrap) with bushes and a bench. As the property is off the main road, a parking permit for one vehicle will be provided (available from June 2025) and can be used on the nearby main road. There is also on-street parking nearby, which is time-limited during the day but free overnight (first come, first served). If you want to stretch your legs and give your dog a run-around there is a green area (Castle Howe) which is reached from the path to the property, via a 50 metre footpath up to a flat grassy open area.
Linstead House is easily reached by public transport from Kendal (or Oxenholme) railway station Whether you are coming for outdoor activities, events at the Brewery Arts Centre (5 minutes walk away) or enjoying the town attractions of Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside, and beyond, Linstead House will be a great choice.
