2 Lowgate, Kirkby Lonsdale, LA6 2FY - Matthews Benjamin

The attractive Cumbrian market town of Kirkby Lonsdale in the highly scenic Lune Valley is nestled between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. It has traditionally appealed to those seeking easy access to the surrounding countryside without the busier atmosphere of the National Parks, while also serving as a convenient and welcoming stop off point for those journeying between Scotland and the south.

More recently, the town has developed into a considered choice and target destination with an expanding full and part-time population and growing tourist trade. The number of restaurants and cafés has increased, accommodation options have multiplied and the variety of independent shops has grown significantly.

The town is particularly popular with families, due to its highly regarded schools. Queen Elizabeth School (secondary) and St Mary’s School (primary) are both within walking distance, while independent and co-educational Sedbergh and Giggleswick Schools are a comfortable daily commute.

With a strong sense of community, Kirkby Lonsdale offers a wide range of amenities, including medical and dental practices, an optician, pharmacy, Post Office, Booths supermarket, Spar convenience store, weekly market, award winning butchers, library and the well-used community venue, Lunesdale Hall.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the town offers immediate access to a variety of walking, running and cycling routes within the picturesque Lune Valley, with the extended landscapes of Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District both within easy reach. Over and above this, there are opportunities for climbing, caving, wild swimming and sailing. Overall, it provides an excellent base for an active lifestyle while retaining the convenience and character of a small market town.

Going above and beyond expectation, this is a high specification house with smart technology designed to enhance and simplify daily operation, whether you are home or away.

Quality fittings have been incorporated such as aluminium/wood windows, remote control Velux roof lights fitted with rain sensors (in the reception hall and principal bedroom suite), security outer doors and solid internal timber doors, engineered oak flooring and staircase, Duravit sanitaryware having Geberit and Hansgrohe fittings, Porcelano tiling and a bespoke German kitchen from Schüller Next125. Lutron lighting has an imaginative design to offer both general and task specific illumination and includes LED downlighters and lighting circuits for lamps, the external lights are also fully programmable.

Every living space is hard wired to the property’s server and the WiFi is controllable online as is the lighting, blinds and central heating with individual room thermostats. For security there is intercom entry on the front sliding gate which is capable of remote opening either part way for pedestrians or full width for vehicles, a RING video doorbell and general alarm. For your own access, the gate can be opened by calling ahead as you approach or by using a fob.

Restrained, elegant and refined, a totally modern home where airy spaces and abundant natural light, exacting finishes, a restful colour palette, clean lines and a thoughtful, practical layout all combine to create a vision for living that is at the same time uplifting, inviting and impeccably functional.

Reaching new heights, the show stopping double height reception hall makes an impactful first impression which flows into the open plan living space, a wonderfully sociable space that combines a well-equipped and extensive kitchen, a dining area and a light drenched seating area with floor to ceiling south facing windows. Ideal for entertaining, it’s also the perfect family space with room for everyone to be independently occupied whilst remaining connected. Connection is the key theme of this impressive living space. Sweeping sight lines bring the outdoors in, walls of glazing and doors to the garden blur the boundaries and encourage an easy flow between inside and out.

Away from the open plan living area, there is a separate, generously proportioned sitting room, naturally light with a wall of glazing looking south, an intimate and cosy room with a wood burning stove.

Supporting the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room, through which is integral access to the double garage which has an electric roller door and a substantial mezzanine floor designed for easy access storage. For those looking to work from home there is a dedicated home office with an aspect to the gated entrance, ideal for welcoming visitors or deliveries.
