OVERVIEW
Located on desirable Danes Road, Staveley, Tarn House is a substantial five bedroom Victorian town house with fantastic potential. Period features have been retained along with the traditional layout - the three reception rooms are perfect for families and the kitchen at the rear has potential to be remodelled. Over the first and second floors are five bedrooms - each with an outlook towards countryside or trees and there is a shower room and additional cloakroom. Another excellent bonus to the property is the outside space and abundance of outbuildings/storage being a workshop, bike store, shed and garage plus ample off road parking. The space extends into a sloping woodland copse area further at the rear.
Located within the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Staveley is popular with families in particular who love the outdoor life and all the area has to offer. Windermere and Kendal are both within 5 miles and Staveley boasts a range of shops, The Hawkshead Brewery and Millyard, a railway station and primary school.
Tarn House requires some modernisation however has potential to be a fantastic long term home - rarely do properties within this terrace come onto the open market and the property is available with no onward chain.
