Tucked into a small courtyard development on the edge of Natland, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat is an appealing low-maintenance option for downsizers or buyers seeking a lock-and-leave base near Kendal. The open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen form a bright, adaptable living space with full-height glazing to the private entrance. A double bedroom, single bedroom and a modern three-piece bathroom complete the accommodation within a compact 476 sq ft footprint.
Practical benefits include an attached secure store for garden or outdoor equipment, dedicated off-street parking and a long 999-year lease. The property is offered chain-free and has very low running council tax (Band A). The building’s rustic stone barn-conversion character and countryside setting provide a peaceful outlook while being only a short drive from Kendal’s shops, hospital and rail links.
Buyers should note the property uses bottled LPG for heating via a boiler and radiators, which can be more expensive and needs refilling. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location, so streaming or heavy home-working will be limited without alternative connectivity solutions. There is no standing service charge; maintenance costs are shared between the four flats and are payable as and when work is required.
Overall, this compact, characterful flat suits someone seeking a straightforward, low-upkeep home close to local amenities but preferring a rural, quiet setting. The long lease and modest ground rent (£40pa) add tenure security, while the modest internal area makes it best for downsizers, a small household or those prioritising location over large living spaces.
