Tucked away in Kendal’s historic Kirkland, this two-bedroom stone cottage blends period character with practical modern upgrades. The dining kitchen is a generous, well-equipped social space; the living room retains exposed beams and a gas fire, while a useful hobby/office room adds flexible ground-floor space. A walk-in wardrobe and modern shower room enhance the compact first-floor layout.
The cottage sits within easy walking distance of Kendal town centre and local amenities, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working. An outhouse with plumbing and a wall-mounted boiler provides practical utility and extra storage. Council Tax band B keeps ongoing costs modest.
Notable considerations: the property is a flying freehold which may restrict mortgage options and could affect some lenders’ terms. The location has above-average crime statistics and the site is within a high flood-risk area; buyers should obtain flood protection advice and insurance quotes. The plot is small with only a walled front patio, so external amenity space is limited.
Overall this cottage will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking a character-packed town residence, and it also offers potential as a rental or holiday let for investors willing to manage the higher flood and insurance considerations. Viewing is recommended to assess finish and to plan any modest improvements.
