Set in the heart of Kendal, this lower-ground maisonette offers a rare, flexible town-centre opportunity for investors or business owners. The duplex layout and generous room sizes—almost 1,000 sq ft in total—create clear scope for conversion into a self-contained office, short-stay let or residential apartment (residential use would require change of use/planning permission).
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking with direct access to the lower level, fast FTTP broadband, mains gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002. The property is chain-free, so a purchaser can move quickly once leasehold details are confirmed.
Important considerations: the building is Grade-character Victorian (constructed before 1900) with traditional stone walls likely uninsulated; the lower-ground position limits natural light; and residential occupation would be subject to planning approval. Leasehold terms, service charge and ground rent are unspecified and should be confirmed before offer.
This is a straightforward, well-located asset for someone prepared to manage the leasehold housekeeping and potential refurbishment. With good transport links, Kendal amenities on the doorstep and the Lake District close by, the property suits an investor or owner-operator seeking central, adaptable space.
