Welcome to 3 Helme Lodge, a truly unique one-bedroom ground floor apartment set within the original Grade II Listed Georgian House, forming part of the prestigious Helme Lodge Private Estate. Brimming with period charm and architectural elegance, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history, whilst enjoying a peaceful setting that feels a world away from the bustle of Kendal, despite being just moments from the town centre.

The apartment offers generously proportioned accommodation comprising a double bedroom, kitchen, shower room, study area and an outstanding open plan living and dining room, all beautifully complemented by an abundance of original character. Unlike many apartments within the development, Number 3 also benefits from its own private patio, opening directly onto the beautifully maintained communal grounds.

Residents of Helme Lodge enjoy exclusive access to an excellent range of leisure facilities, including a fitness suite, sauna, billiards room and tennis court, creating an enviable lifestyle for both permanent residents and those seeking a lock-up-and-leave home. Offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, the property is ready for immediate occupation.

Access is gained via the impressive communal entrance hall, where the entrance to Apartment 3 can be found to the left. Stepping inside, a practical entrance porch provides the perfect space for coats and footwear, before leading into the welcoming inner hallway, which also benefits from a useful storage cupboard.

The shower room is fitted with a modern three-piece suite comprising a large walk-in shower with recessed shelving for toiletries, a WC and wash hand basin with wall-mounted mirrored storage cabinet above. Opposite, a generous linen cupboard houses the hot water cylinder whilst providing excellent storage for towels and household essentials.

The bedroom is a spacious double, enjoying a south facing window and an excellent range of fitted furniture, including wardrobes spanning the width of the room, overhead storage and an extensive vanity unit with drawers and a large wall-mounted mirror, creating a practical yet elegant space.

The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, complemented by decorative tiled splashbacks and ample work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a Bosch four-ring electric hob with oven, grill and extractor hood, Hotpoint dishwasher, Bosch washing machine and integrated fridge freezer, all included within the sale. A south facing window overlooks the private patio, allowing plenty of natural light into the room.

Positioned opposite the kitchen is a useful study area, ideal for those working from home or requiring additional hobby space. This versatile room enjoys an internal window overlooking the magnificent living room, allowing borrowed light to flow through the apartment, whilst also benefiting from loft access providing additional storage.

The spectacular open plan living and dining room is unquestionably the centrepiece of the apartment, offering a remarkable sense of space, elegance and grandeur that is rarely found. Immediately drawing the eye is the magnificent domed ceiling, crowned by a glazed roof lantern that floods the room with natural light and beautifully showcases the exquisite decorative plasterwork, deep moulded cornicing and impressive ceiling detailing.

The exceptional proportions of the room allow for multiple seating and entertaining areas, effortlessly accommodating both formal dining and relaxed living. A striking, wide decorative arch frames the raised fireplace area, creating an elegant focal point within the room. Here, a beautiful stone fireplace, complete with a gas fire, substantial stone mantel and matching hearth, provides warmth and character, making it the perfect setting to relax throughout the seasons.

The room continues to impress with its tall Georgian proportions, bespoke fitted display shelving and cabinetry, ideal for books and treasured ornaments, while a delightful seating area enjoys large south facing picture windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped communal gardens, creating a wonderfully peaceful outlook. To the rear, there is ample space for a substantial dining table, making this an exceptional room for entertaining family and friends.

A door leads directly onto the apartment’s private flagged patio, a tranquil outdoor seating area bordered by mature shrubs and planting, offering the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Steps descend from the patio onto the beautifully maintained communal lawns, where residents can enjoy leisurely walks through the grounds or make use of the private tennis court.

Set within acres of landscaped communal grounds and complemented by exclusive resident facilities including a gymnasium, sauna, billiards room and tennis court, 3 Helme Lodge presents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle that is both peaceful and prestigious. Combining elegant Georgian architecture with practical modern living, this remarkable apartment is offered with no onward chain and is ready for its next owner to make it their own.
