Summary - 12 MIDDLE LANE KENDAL LA9 4NR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious two-bed maisonette with views — lease limited, ideal cash buyer or investor.
Elevated two-bedroom maisonette with panoramic town and countryside views
Elevated above Kendal town centre, this two-bedroom maisonette offers strong rental and buy-to-let appeal thanks to generous windows, sweeping views towards Kendal Castle and Benson Knott, and a convenient central location. The accommodation spans approximately 797 sq ft across two levels with gas central heating and double glazing (unknown install date). EPC: C and council tax band A keep running costs modest.
The property is chain-free and sits within a conservation area, adding character to the setting while keeping you close to shops, cafes and transport links. On-street permit parking serves residents and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal suit modern tenants or owners who work from home. Service charge and ground rent are low (service charge £500 p.a.; ground rent £10 p.a.).
Important caution: the remaining lease is only 36 years. This is likely to prevent standard mortgage offers and will limit buyer pools unless the lease is extended. Buyers should obtain specialist mortgage advice and factor in the cost and timescale of a lease extension. The interior shows mid-20th-century fittings and dated decor and will benefit from refurbishment to maximise value and rental income.
Given its location and size, the property suits a cash purchaser or experienced investor prepared to resolve the lease issue and carry out modernisation. For an owner-occupier, lease extension is essential before seeking mainstream mortgage finance; otherwise this will remain a limited-market, lower-cost entry into Kendal.
