A substantial Grade II Listed stone and slate building dating from c.1782, arranged over basement, ground, first and second floors with a self-contained two‑storey annexe (29A). The property extends to approximately 3,025 sq ft NIA and retains many Georgian features — sash windows, decorative coving, high ceilings and period fireplaces — offering character workspace in Kendal town centre. A private rear garden and one off‑street parking space are uncommon town‑centre advantages.
Offered freehold with full vacant possession at a guide price of £249,500, the building suits an investor, owner‑occupier or developer. Services are connected (mains electricity, water and drainage) and heating/hot water are currently electric; the services have not been tested. Rateable values are shown separately for 29 and 29A and VAT is not payable on the sale.
Buyers should note the Listed status and age‑related wear to historic fabric: alterations will be restricted and any conversion works will need listed‑building and planning consents. The internal layout is largely cellular and may require refurbishment or reconfiguration for modern office use. The town‑centre location gives excellent transport links and local amenities, but crime levels in the immediate area are reported above average.
This is a high‑character, centrally located freehold building with clear scope for rental income or conversion, balanced by the responsibilities and costs of repairing and consenting works associated with a historic listed property.
