This fourth-floor retirement apartment in central Kendal offers low-maintenance, town-centre living with practical communal support. The layout includes a long living/dining room with a Juliet balcony, a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a fitted kitchen and a modern shower room — a comfortable, single-level home suitable for a single occupant or couple aged over 60 (or 55 if part of a couple).
Residents benefit from strong communal amenities: lift access to all floors, a House Manager, communal lounge and laundry, and a 24-hour emergency call system. The development sits within easy walking distance of shops, the bus and rail stations, and local attractions, making it convenient for daily errands and visits to the Lake District.
Practical costs and restrictions are straightforward but material. The property is leasehold with 107 years remaining, an annual service charge (circa £1,617.29 for 2025/26) and a ground rent of £350 per year. There is limited private outdoor space and parking is communal rather than private. The surrounding area reports a very high crime level — buyers should factor this into their decision and consider security measures.
Overall, this apartment will suit buyers seeking a secure, well-serviced retirement base with strong local transport links and convenient town access. It represents a tidy, ready-to-live-in option with clear running costs and communal support, balanced against limited external space and area crime considerations.
