Summary - Kirstead, Aynsome Road, Cartmel LA11 6PR
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious 5‑bed period home with large garden and garage, renovation potential.
Grade II listed character home with original features
Kirstead is a Grade II listed, semi‑detached period home in historic Cartmel, offering generous accommodation across three floors and a sizable cottage garden. The property marries original character—stone façade, exposed beams, panelled dining hall and a wood‑burning stove—with practical improvements such as a newly fitted Webbs kitchen and refurbished kitchen fittings. A conservatory and ground‑floor living room provide easy access to the garden, while a substantial garage offers secure parking and storage.
The house is partially renovated and requires further updating throughout; the second‑floor loft currently used for storage offers clear scope to create additional bedrooms or flexible living space subject to listed‑building constraints. The walls are likely uninsulated and some modernisation is still needed; purchasers should expect further works to bring all services and finishes fully up to modern standards. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and council tax is described as quite expensive.
Set in a sought‑after village on the edge of the Lake District National Park, Kirstead suits families who value character, outdoor space and local amenities — good primary and secondary schools are nearby and the area is very affluent with low crime and excellent mobile signal. The Grade II listing protects historic features but will cause additional restrictions and potential costs for alterations; buyers should obtain specialist listed‑building advice before committing. Overall, the home offers strong renovation potential and room to personalise while retaining period charm and a generous plot.
