Summary - FLAT 1, ABBOTS YARD, 21, KIRKLAND LA9 5AF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful two-bed flat with garden — affordable entry, requires upgrading and flood mitigation..
Compact 2-bedroom ground-floor flat, 468 sq ft
Set on the ground floor of a traditional stone terrace in Kendal, this compact two-bedroom flat combines period character with practical town-centre convenience. The living room retains decorative moulding, a fireplace and sash-style windows; the bathroom has underfloor heating and the building benefits from a secure entrance and an enclosed communal rear garden. Chain-free sale and a very long lease make this straightforward to buy.
The property suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser seeking an affordable entry into the area. The flat is small (468 sq ft) and retains original solid stone walls (likely without insulation) and electric storage heaters — sensible buyers should plan for running costs and potential insulation or heating upgrades. Service charge and ground rent are modest and council tax is low.
Buyers should also factor in material negatives: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone and the local area records above-average crime; parking is by permit/on-street only. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good, adding practical appeal for local living or rental demand.
Overall, this is a characterful, low-cost entry property with clear renovation and risk considerations. It will appeal to someone prioritising location and period charm over internal space and who is prepared to address heating, insulation and flood-mitigation needs.
