OVERVIEW
With panoramic views over Kendal, Skewbarrow Top is a once in a generation chance to buy a unique architect designed house with fantastic potential. Designed and owned by the same family since new in 1964, many of the original features remain. The semi open plan lounge and dining room face the view and are suspended above the ground on a cantilever, the kitchen has the original period units and there are three double bedrooms - one of which is ensuite - and a family bathroom. The garden space runs mainly to one side and is deceptively large and there is a car port and driveway parking.
Requiring updating and modernisation, this is a single storey home, prefect for buyers with imagination and an eye for detail. Viewing is highly recommended. The location in town is prefect for keen golfers - Kendal Golf Course is just adjacent and the property is within walking distance of the town centre. Further afield, the M6 and the Lake District are easily accessible - both within 15 minutes by car.
