4 Royal Arcade is an attractive character cottage set in a pretty cobbled courtyard (a former stable yard) in the centre of Kirkby Stephen.
Kirkby Stephen is an active market town just beyond the northern periphery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town is just ten miles from junction 38 of the M6 motorway and is well placed for Kendal, Penrith, Appleby and the Lake District. The scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway is on the doorstep and the Coast to Coast footpath runs through. Kirkby Stephen has highly regarded primary and grammar schools as well as a good range of shops, restaurants & pubs, church & chapel and doctor's surgery. There is still a weekly outdoor market and an agricultural auction mart.
The property is a three storey property built in the 18th Century retaining a wealth of original character features with beams, stone walls and wooden lintels. The property is deceptively bright and spacious, facing South so enjoying the sun most of the day. It benefits from double glazing throughout and gas central heating.
On the ground floor is a character dining kitchen with country style, free standing units. On the first floor is an attractive sitting room with fireplace (currently has an electric stove) and modern bathroom. There is space for home office/ study on the landing if needed. There are two double bedrooms on the second floor, both with windows on two aspects.
Outside there is a small space which has been adopted as a sitting area with a bench & pot plants.
Should a purchaser(s) have an offer accepted on a property marketed by J.R. Hopper & Co., they will need to undertake an AML check. We require this to meet our obligation under AML regulations and it is a legal requirement. We use a specialist third party service, provided by Lifetime Legal, to verify your identity. The cost of these checks is £60 (including VAT) per purchase, payable in advance directly to Lifetime Legal, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances.
