Flat 1 Kentholme

About this property

An elegantly-styled, spacious duplex apartment in a central position in the picturesque coastal resort of Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria. Flat 1 Kentholme is a real home-from-home for a family or a group of five friends looking to explore the southern tip of the Cartmel Peninsula, with access to both the rolling hills of the Lake District National Park and the glorious coast. In-keeping with the Edwardian flavour of this resort town, the interior of this apartment enjoys a seamless blend of tradition and character which complement the contemporary styling and the antique furnishings. Push open the wrought iron gate to be welcomed into a secluded courtyard setting before you climb the stairs to find this superb property. Step into the spacious kitchen/diner, where you will find everything you could possibly need to cater for your own home-cooked meals during a week-long break, before settling down at the dining table to watch the world go by from the large sash window. From here, look forward to spending a relaxing evening in the sitting room, where you can curl up on the sofa to tune into the Smart TV or again, admire your surroundings from the characterful sash window. A utility/cloakroom with washing machine and WC completes the first floor. Head up the staircase after an action-packed day to retire to one of three well-presented bedrooms, each boasting a refreshing interior, quality linens and ample storage to house your holiday essentials. If you are visiting during the summer months, head outside to spend some time in the courtyard garden, where a spot of alfresco dining can be had during a balmy afternoon. If you don’t feel like cooking one evening, a leisurely stroll will bring you to a superb selection of pubs, restaurants, and takeaways to suit all tastes, as well as a choice of shops for picking up any treats and essentials. To keep you busy whilst staying here, look forward to visiting the pretty ornamental gardens and walking the town’s mile-long promenade with stunning views across Morecambe Bay, or if you prefer a longer walk, enjoy the views from the summit of Hampsfell. Two popular golf courses are located within driving distance if you fancy a competitive afternoon, including Grange Fell Golf Club and Grange-over-Sands Golf Club, whilst miniature golf is also available upon the shoreline. Further attractions nearby include the country house of Holker Hall with its superb hall and gardens, or 2 miles away is the medieval village of Cartmel with its 12th-century priory, shops and several pubs and restaurants including the famous L’Enclume Restaurant, not forgetting all the delights of the Lake District National Park only a short drive away. Flat 1 Kentholme is a refreshing base for exploring the delights of this wonderful location.

With one of the mildest climates in the north of England, the beautiful Edwardian town of Grange-over-Sands is situated between the Lake District fells and Morecambe Bay. When the Furness Railway was built, Grange-over-Sands, a sleepy fishing community, was converted into a chic Edwardian resort. A traffic-free promenade, lovely ornamental gardens, golf courses, brass band performances, and fantastic bird watching are just a few of the many attractions the town has to offer visitors today. Lake Windermere (8 miles), the charming communities of Bowness-on-Windermere and Hawkshead, and Cartmel, the birthplace of sticky toffee pudding, are all easily accessible by car. Cartmel also boasts a renowned racecourse and the L'Enclume restaurant, which has been ranked as the fourth best restaurant in the UK.
