Summary - SCARFOOT 4 MEALBANK KENDAL LA8 9DJ
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Characterful two-bed cottage with garden and parking near Kendal.
Two double bedrooms with elevated countryside views
A charming two-bedroom Lakeland-style end-terrace cottage set in a peaceful rural hamlet just north of Kendal. The stone façade, slate mantle coal fire and compact garden give authentic character and countryside outlooks, while off-street parking for up to three cars is unusually generous for this type of home. The property is freehold, double-glazed and offered ready to move into though it has clearly been used as a second home and would benefit from some personal updating.
Practical features include a quality-fitted kitchen with granite worktops, a ground-floor cloakroom/utility and a first-floor bathroom. Heating is by electric panel and a wood/coal-burning stove — there is no mains gas or central heating system — so running costs and heating preferences should be considered. Broadband speeds are good, but there is no mobile signal at the property.
Notable drawbacks to weigh: the cottage is small (about 608 sq ft), built before 1900 with granite walls assumed to have no insulation, and it sits in a medium flood-risk area. These are material factors for insurance, retrofit insulation, and future-proofing. That said, its size, rural setting and proximity to Kendal (around an 8‑minute drive) make it attractive to first-time buyers, second‑home owners or buy-to-let investors (estimated rent from £800pcm).
