This ground-floor retail unit occupies a highly prominent main-road position on Kirkland, moments from Kendal town centre and Highgate. The attractive Victorian shop front and 578 sq ft open-plan sales area give immediate kerb appeal and straightforward retail use. A rear yard with direct main-road access is a rare practical advantage for deliveries and storage.
Off-shop rooms include a workshop/office, small office and a large kitchen/utility with WC, making the layout flexible for a range of retail or service uses (subject to any necessary change of use). The property is offered LEASEHOLD at a reduced price of £86,950 and has an EPC rating of C.
Important cautions: the listing notes a high flood risk for the location and the neighbourhood records above-average crime and economic deprivation. The building is an older (pre-1900) timber-framed mid-terrace with assumed lack of wall insulation and double glazing of unknown age, which may require thermal and fabric upgrading. The listing mentions gas central heating but internal heating appears to rely on electric room heaters — confirm current services and plant on inspection.
This is a realistic opportunity for an owner-occupier retailer or investor seeking an affordable town-centre lock-up with character and practical rear access. Bring a specialist survey to quantify flood mitigation, insulation and any refurbishment costs before purchase.
