Description

Our TOP 10 reasons to love 9 The Old Tannery:

1. At the heart of sought-after Cumbrian market town - for those not familiar with Kirkby Lonsdale it is a popular and well-regarded market town on the River Lune in the heart of this picturesque valley.

2. Imaginatively designed and built in 1997, there are ten apartments in all within the block of varying designs with either one or two bedrooms. There is a mix of full time and second home occupants. The apartments have also proved popular with those looking to long term let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy and to preserve the privacy of other residents, holiday lets are not allowed under the terms of the lease. The furniture is available by separate negotiation.

3. Convenience - the apartment is within walking distance of everything this wonderful Conservation Area town has to offer: meet friends for a coffee or a glass of something stronger, pop out for lunch or dinner, embrace the independent shops and enjoy the convenience of branches of Boots and Booths.

4. Fabulous views - the sitting room has French windows with a Juliet balcony, which open up to take advantage of the splendid views across rooftops, the River Lune and open countryside towards the Casterton and Barbon Fells.

5. Make an entrance - the communal entrance hall has designated post boxes for each apartment and stairs leading to the first and second floor landings. There is also an entry phone system.

6. Well-maintained and stylishly presented with an approximate gross internal area of 652 sq ft (60.6 sq m), No. 9 is situated on the second floor with the landing serving three apartments.

7. Come on in to the entrance hall with oak effect floor. The sitting room has a wooden fireplace with granite inset and hearth. The fitted kitchen with rooftop view, has a broom cupboard, base and wall units, an electric oven, induction hob and integral refrigerator, washing machine and slimline dishwasher. There are two double bedrooms and a three piece shower room.

8. Garaging and parking - there is a secure underground garage with remote control door and private parking for one car. Shared cycle store. Access to meter room with gas, electric and water meters, shared wheelie bin and recycling box storage area. A staircase to the rear leads to the entrance hall.

9. On your doorstep - for those who love the great outdoors, the Lune Valley, the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks as well as the Forest of Bowland National Landscape provide a stunningly scenic natural adventure playground, and if you prefer a walk by the sea,
Morecambe Bay Estuary and Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape are not too far away.

10. Getting out and about - for travel further afield, the town is situated off the A65 making many larger towns and cities within easy reach. Access to the M6 is at either J34 or J36 depending on the direction of travel. Oxenholme and Lancaster have stations on the main west coast line with direct trains into London Euston, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh with Leeds Bradford Airport (52.3 miles) and Manchester Airport 80.7 being miles distant.

As parking is limited to one car per apartment, within the secure underground garage, it is recommended that when viewing, cars are parked elsewhere and the approach made on foot.
To find the property - approaching Kirkby Lonsdale from the west along the A65, take the first turning off the mini roundabout and continue past Booths supermarket. Here you will find several pay and display car parks as well as roadside parking on New Road. Once parked up, walk along Main Street towards the end of the road and at the Spar shop, turn onto Mill Brow. After passing Swinemarket, the open cobbled square on the left with the medieval Market Cross and old Weigh House, The Old Tannery is the next building on the left on the brow of the hill. Steps with wrought iron railings lead up to the main entrance.
