Since then there have only been three owners and on the open market only once. This is indeed a rare opportunity. The house boasts many original features such as leaded and stained glass windows, oak fireplaces (the drawing room fireplace depicts a carving of Fred Archer, a famous jockey in the 1800s), ornate architraves, impressive oak staircase with leather panelled walls, oak doors and wall panelling, decorative plasterwork and cornices. Well-proportioned rooms have high ceilings and tall windows which allow the light to flood in. In the late 1980s/early 1990s, the house was split into the main house with four bedrooms, along with three one bedroom apartments, all currently let on Shorthold Tenancy Agreements. These include Hunters Lodge converted from the original billiard room. There is an excellent range of outbuildings providing garaging, workshop, stabling and storage. The gardens are mainly to the front of the house with a bluebell wood on the banking to the rear. Two adjacent paddocks complete the picture and would be perfect if you wanted to keep a pony, a few sheep, goats or chickens. Situated off the A65, on the outskirts of the market town of Kendal, Oxenholme is a small village with a shop and a pub, The Station Inn, which is within walking distance. Kendal, known as the gateway to the Lakes, offers a comprehensive range of excellent commercial and recreational facilities. Primary schools are in Natland, Crosscrake or Endmoor, secondary schools in Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale and the well- renowned independent school at Sedbergh. For travel, it’s a short stroll to Oxenholme Station, on the main west coast main line (the village was built up around the station which opened in 1847) with J36 of the M6 being 5.3 miles distant. The stunning Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Lune Valley all lie within easy reach.
