This compact Victorian mid-terrace blends period character with a modern open-plan layout, suiting first-time buyers or couples seeking a town-centre base. The living space feels bright thanks to generous glazing and natural light, with a wood-burning stove providing character and extra warmth on colder evenings.
The ground floor offers a practical open-plan kitchen/living area with integrated appliances and wood flooring; upstairs are two bedrooms and a single bathroom within an efficient 517 sq ft footprint. A stone outbuilding and shared courtyard deliver useful storage and outside space, though the outdoor area is communal rather than private.
Practical running costs are reasonable: the property is freehold, has double glazing, mains gas central heating on radiators and an EPC rating of C. Be aware the walls are original sandstone/limestone with no assumed cavity insulation, and the house was constructed before 1900, so buyers expecting modern thermal performance may wish to budget for insulation improvements.
Location is central Kendal with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good to Outstanding, and a short walk to local amenities and transport links. Note the area records above-average crime; prospective purchasers should consider security measures and view at different times to judge local feel.
