Summary - 3, WINDERMERE ROAD, KENDAL, STAVELEY LA8 9LY
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Cosy village base with views and strong rental potential.
Light sitting room that opens into airy kitchen
Set in the popular village of Staveley within the Lake District National Park, this mid-terraced cottage offers a compact, well-laid-out home or income-producing bolt hole. The sitting room flows into a light kitchen, and the double bedroom is complemented by a small store/hobby room and a three-piece bathroom. There are pleasant views towards Reston Scar from the communal garden and a useful outbuilding for storage.
The property sits on a large plot with a cosy front garden and access to a communal riverside area, while on-street parking serves residents. The modern-feeling kitchen and double glazing help comfort, and mains gas central heating keeps running costs straightforward. EPC rated D; council tax is very cheap.
Notable practical points: the house dates from before 1900 and external stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be beneficial. Rooms are modest in size, so the layout suits a single occupant, couple, seasonal visitor or small-scale rental. Road and rail links, plus proximity to Kendal and the national park, make the location a strong draw.
For buyers seeking immediate use or short-term letting, holidaycottages.com estimate potential annual income of approximately £21,000–£23,000. For owner-occupiers, this is a low-maintenance, characterful base with scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic improvements to increase comfort and value.
