The property can be found by leaving Kendal on the Shap Road (A6) and continuing along to Skelsmergh. You will see Skelsmergh Church high on the hill on your right hand side, continue past and you will see the turning for Kiln Croft on your right.

The garage is located at the far side of the house adjoining the walled garden.

The location is semi rural with plenty of countryside walks on the doorstep, yet rail links are a just short drive away from Kendal and Oxenholme from where you can be in London in under three hours.

Kendal Town known as the 'Gateway' to the Lakes boasts a library, supermarkets, churches, banks and medical practices, as well as specialist artisan providers and independent traders. A leisure centre is located on the outskirts of the town, while a renowned venue for theatre, cinema, music and cultural events – The Brewery Arts Centre – is at the hub of Kendal's arts scene.
