About this property
Forrest's Townhouse - Two adjoining apartments with shared private hallway
Forrest's Townhouse is a magnificent self-catering property in the centre of Kendal with free parking for up to six cars.
The building comprises two separate well-appointed apartments spread over three floors. Both Apartments share a secure private hallway and entrance, so leaving each apartment's front door open is safe, creating a unique combined space.
The family-friendly Townhouse is within a short stroll of the super choice of bars and restaurants, the Brewery Arts Centre and Cinema and of course the River Kent.
**Apartment One:**
Spanning the first floor of the Grade II listed building is a beautiful living room, four spacious bedrooms, a smaller sitting room with a sofa and TV (ideal for kids), two bathrooms and two en-suite loos.
The spacious living room with large log-burner and comfortable leather sofas and arm-chairs, seating eight in total, provides guests with superb space for relaxation plus there is a 40" Freeview Smart TV. Views through the three ceiling-height windows look over the main shopping street called Highgate.
The open-plan dining and kitchen area is a great space for everyone to get together for a meal. The modern kitchen, with breakfast bar, includes a 4-plate induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine/dryer and the fridge & freezer, overlooks the ornate wooden dining table and eight leather-back seats.

History:
The earliest known record of the building is a map, dating back to 1758, showing two separate buildings. Later records from 1833 show that "M Forrest" owned the buildings - hence the name Forrest's Yard.
Twenty years later, in 1853, records show both buildings as one, suggesting that building work was carried out to join the two together. Records also show the new owner as Mr George Forrest, who was a surgeon and even the twice-elected Local Town Mayor.
Now, Grade II Listed, the property has been carefully refurbished to a high standard, while retaining many of the original features.
