SUMMERLANDS HALL. 895,000 No two ways about it, this is an impressive period house. The date stone above the door reads 1846 when it's thought Summerlands Hall was built as the home for the then Mayor of Kendal. It was extended further in the late 1800s by the Radcliffe family who added the billiard room. After the Second World War the house was a convalescent home for merchant seamen until it was developed into three private homes in the 1970s. Summerlands Hall is the primary residence with the front elevation and enjoys the main entrance and three principle reception rooms including the fabulous billiard room. There is an abundance of original features including beautiful leaded and stained windows, stone mullion windows, a William de Morgan tiled fireplace in the Arts and Crafts style billiards room and marble fireplaces to the drawing room and dining room, parquet floor in the drawing room and fine ceiling plaster work. Set in gardens of c. 3.45 acres with a tennis court and recently built timber garage block, the house is set off by a charismatic lodge house and an attractive tree lined driveway. The house is immensely private and secluded yet extremely wellsituated for access to the M6 and Oxenholme Station. The stunning Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Lune Valley all lie within easy reach as well as the historic and popular market towns of Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale.
