About this property
Library View Apartment - Grade II Listed town centre apartment with parking
Library View Apartment is a stylish Grade II-listed, two-bedroom, self-catering apartment in Kendal's town centre that has been furnished to a very high standard. Situated on the second floor of one of Kendal's oldest buildings, you will delight at the retained character of the building, including the original beams, wonky walls and ceilings!
The magnificent building on Blackhall Yard dates back to 1575 when it was used as the residence for Kendal's first Alderman, who functioned as a Mayor, although the term "Mayor" wasn't to be used since Kendal had not yet received its Market Charter. The building was also used as a brush marking factory until 1945, when it became a grocery shop. The Bristly Hog statue figure on the exterior wall was erected during this time and has remained ever since.
The gorgeous apartment is situated on the second floor of the building, above the fantastic Bristly Hog Coffee Shop, making it an ideal self-catering apartment in the centre of Kendal.
While mentioning the Bristly Hog Coffee Shop downstairs, we highly recommend visiting, whether for a coffee or something to eat. They offer a superb full breakfast menu Monday to Saturday, 9:00 - 16:30, as well as a number of other dishes! For evening meals, try one of the many restaurants in the Town.
Library View Apartment will provide an ideal base for couples or families and business travellers to the area. A parking permit allows you to park one car for free in the car park across the road.
ACCOMMODATION SUMMARY
A king-size double bedroom with a separate seating area and views of the front of the building.
A twin bedroom with views to the rear of the building and Blackhall Yard.

Modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath, basin with shaver point and a loo. Complimentary shampoo, soap and conditioner are provided.

THINGS TO NOTE:
Pets are not permitted.
Neither smoking nor vaping are permitted inside the property.
A complimentary parking permit for one vehicle only is provided. This allows you to park across the road for free in the Library Road car park.
