This delightful Grade 2 Listed artisan cottage is right in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale, opposite the magnificent St Mary's Church. With 2 bedrooms, galley kitchen, welcoming living room, bathroom, cellar and delightful rear garden, 2 Vicarage Lane is full of character and charm. Kirkby Lonsdale is a thriving market town, with an excellent range of independent shops, bars and restaurants. It is well situated for the spectacular Yorkshire Dales, Howgill Fells and Lake District and is a very popular town in which to live, or visit for those much needed escapes from the stresses of everyday life. Entry to the cottage from Vicarage Lane is via an attractive open porch and the lovely old front door opens into the warm and inviting living room. There is a multi-fuel stove, which also provides hot water and heat to three radiators upstairs. With its beamed ceiling, original cupboards and stripped pine doors, this really is a great place in which to get away from it all. The galley kitchen leads off and provides access to the rear of the property. The useful cellar is also accessed from the living room and another door leads to the stairs and the upper floors. The first floor landing houses a cupboard containing the hot water cylinder and original doors lead to bedroom 1 and the bathroom. The bedroom on this level is a double and looks out over the impressive church and churchyard. Bedroom 2 is on the second floor and really is a charmingly quirky room. Being up in the roof, the beams are exposed and there are interesting nooks and recesses. Outside, and to the rear, there is a good-sized graveled garden - an ideal place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. The cottage has access via the side of the adjourning property. Kirkby Lonsdale is a sought after market town location. With its range of independent shops, restaurants and bars, it is the ideal base from which to explore the surrounding spectacular countryside. The town is famous for the striking Devil's Bridge and Ruskin's View. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is just to the east of the town and heading north, the unique Howgill Fells can be quickly reached. The Lake District is close at hand - a quick drive up the A65, which also connects to Settle and Skipton in the other direction. Kirkby Lonsdale has excellent secondary education at QES. There is also a Booths supermarket and further retail opportunities at Kendal and Lancaster - both accessible within under half an hour. The M6 is no more than 15 minutes drive. 2 Vicarage Lane has gas to the property - ready for gas central heating, should that be required. Water is currently heated via an immersion and boosted by the back boiler to the multi-fuel stove, which also heats radiators in the bedrooms and the bathroom.
