Summary - 4 Queens Place LA9 4PJ
5 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large period home with panoramic Lakeland views — no chain, in need of modernisation..
Five generous bedrooms across four floors
This substantial five-bedroom Victorian terrace occupies an elevated position in Kendal, offering wide, panoramic views across the town and Lakeland fells. The house retains strong period character — high ceilings, bay windows, original woodwork and traditional fireplaces — and provides generous, flexible accommodation across four floors with three reception rooms and a landscaped rear garden. Sold freehold with no onward chain, the property is an appealing option for families or buyers seeking a character home with excellent transport links to the M6 and rail services.
The property requires modernisation throughout: the kitchen and internal finishes would benefit from updating, and some rooms offer scope for reconfiguration (coal cellar and walk-in wardrobe could become additional WC/bathroom subject to consent). There is only one bathroom for five bedrooms, so creating a second bathroom would improve family practicality and resale value. The listing notes assumed uninsulated stone walls, so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements.
Practical considerations: council tax is above average, and the local area records very high crime levels — important for buyers to review. On the positive side, flood risk is low, mobile signal and broadband are strong, and off-street parking with a resident permit is available. For those willing to invest, the combination of size, location, original features and exceptional views creates strong potential for a rewarding long-term family home or a refurbishment / investment project.
