Badger Close
Nestled in the heart of the bustling old market town of Kendal, with the Lake District National Park on your doorstep, Badger Close is one of several old weavers' cottages dating back to the 1820s that still retain the communal washing lines used historically for drying fabric and has lovely views towards the River Kent, St George's Church and Gooseholme Park
Badger Close is conveniently located to stroll into Kendal town centre, where you will find a great choice of shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and traditional pubs. Kendal has a great real ale scene, too, and it's well known for its annual Kendal Whisky festival. Reaching the cottage is easy without transport - Kendal train station is a 5-minute walk away, which connects to the West Coast Mainline between London Euston and Glasgow. Kendal Bus Station is also 5 minute's walk away, with hourly services into the central Lakes, including Windermere and Ambleside.
Inside, the open-plan living room offers plenty of seating to relax and unwind into the evening; gather at the dining table to enjoy a lovingly prepared home-cooked meal or takeaway with your loved ones.
The first floor, accessed by carpeted stairs with a handrail, is spacious and has a bedroom with twin beds that can be configured as a super king-size zip-and-link bed (with mattress topper) on request. There is also a family shower room with deluxe fixtures and fittings. The second floor has a king-size double bedroom with delightful views.
December 2024 - Please Note: The Environment Agency is currently working on the flood defences along the river Kent and on Gooseholme Park. This has reduced the amount of street parking available. Whilst it is usually possible to park on the street close by, additional parking is available at the Kendal Snowsports Club, approx 5-minute walk, for £1.30* per day. (*Correct at Dec 24)
