Summary - Flat 1 Yard, 122, Highgate, KENDAL LA9 4HE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact period flat, newly renovated and chain free, ideal central starter home.
Freehold one-bedroom first-floor flat, ready to occupy
This one-bedroom first-floor flat in the heart of Kendal combines period character with contemporary finishes, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a low-hassle town-centre home. The apartment has been recently redecorated and re-carpeted throughout, with a new boiler still under warranty, ready for immediate occupation and sold freehold with no onward chain.
The living space benefits from high ceilings, large sash-style windows and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and wooden worktops. The bathroom is newly fitted with a shower and heated towel rail, and built-in shelving helps maximise the compact footprint. Council tax is very low, and broadband and mobile signals are both strong — useful practical advantages for everyday life.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 517 sq ft) with limited or no private outdoor space and communal access within a mixed-use, multi-flat building. The property has an EPC rating of D and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so additional insulation work could improve efficiency. The surrounding town-centre location is busy and crime levels are above average, factors to consider for some purchasers.
Overall, this flat offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor who values central location, period charm and low immediate maintenance. Its compact size and town-centre setting mean it suits single occupancy, couples, or those prioritising convenience over outdoor space.
