Forrest’s Yard – Apartment 1

Sleeps 9

Bedrooms 4

Forrest's Yard is a beautiful self-catering, family-friendly property, situated in the very centre of Kendal, within walking distance to the vast choice of bars, restaurants, cinema and of course the River Kent.

Spanning the first floor of 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 a wooden floor, large wood burner and comfortable leather sofas and armchairs, 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, which overlooks the large wooden dining table.

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 the join the two together. Records also show the new owner as Mr George Forrest, who was a surgeon and also 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.
