Apple Byrd

About this property

Apple Byrd is a beautifully decorated, light and airy semi-detached house with three individually styled bedrooms, established gardens, and an extensive drive offering ample off-street parking—ideal for families and friends. Perfectly positioned within easy walking distance of Kendal’s town centre, you’ll find the local pub, numerous eateries, takeaways, a corner shop, and Kendal railway station—all just minutes away. The station connects you directly to Windermere and Oxenholme (East Coast mainline) for London and Scotland. Windermere is also an 8-mile drive, bypassing the town centre. Supermarkets, petrol stations, and EV charging points lie less than a mile in the opposite direction. Inside, the owners’ creativity shines through textured wallpapers, curated mirrors, artworks, wall hangings, table lamps, and rugs—crafted to create a calm, harmonious atmosphere of warmth and style.

Abundant natural light enhances a soothing palette of neutral tones, blending Scandinavian minimalism with Japanese functional elegance. Film and art lovers will spot playful cinematic references throughout the lower rooms. The ground floor features a newly installed, fully equipped kitchen with a central island and stools—a sociable spot for drinks while cooking. Dine at the large oak table in the living room, then relax on the comfy sofa and chairs, watch TV, or browse the well-stocked bookshelves. Upstairs, natural wooden floors and rugs run throughout. Two double bedrooms offer double beds and lovely views over the garden and distant fells; the single bedroom overlooks the front garden.

Outside, the garden wraps around three sides. The rear is a peaceful haven with lush lawns and mature fruit trees—perfect for tea or a G&T with friends. Explore Kendal’s historic castle ruins, the Kendal Museum, exhibitions at Abbott Hall Art Gallery, or theatre, film and food at The Brewery Arts Centre. In Windermere, enjoy Windermere Lake Cruises, the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, or vibrant shops and eateries. From here, hikes up Scafell Pike, stunning views at Derwentwater, and endless natural beauty awaits

A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
