This traditional stone-built mid-terraced cottage on Windermere Road offers a warm, characterful first home close to Kendal town centre. High ceilings, a bay-windowed sitting room with a log burner and a substantial lower-ground kitchen give flexible living space across three floors. Two double bedrooms and a ground-floor cloakroom suit a young household or couple.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working and daily life. The fully enclosed paved patio garden is low-maintenance and private, and the location provides easy access to local shops, good primary and secondary schools, the M6 and the Lake District National Park. Council tax is described as inexpensive and there is no flood risk.
Be aware of some material negatives: the property has an EPC rating of D and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack modern insulation, which may raise heating costs and could require investment for improvement. The house is arranged over three floors, which may not suit limited mobility. Local recorded crime levels are very high — buyers should consider security measures and check local policing information.
Overall this is an attractive, characterful starter home with good location and transport links, and clear potential for energy-efficiency upgrades. It will suit first-time buyers wanting period features and compact, manageable outdoor space, but factor in possible retrofit costs and the three-storey layout when viewing.
