This three-bedroom mid-terraced home on Kirkfield is a practical, well-located property in the Lake District National Park, suited to a first-time buyer or small family. The layout includes a kitchen/diner, living room, downstairs cloakroom, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing provide everyday comfort, and residents’ parking directly to the rear is a useful convenience. The rear west-facing patio and glimpses of fell views add outdoor appeal despite a small plot.
Internally the house is in sound basic condition but would benefit from modernization to realise its full potential—kitchen and bathroom updates and cosmetic refreshes are likely required. Note the double glazing was installed before 2002, and the property footprint is modest at about 875 sq ft. There is a medium flood risk in the area; buyers should satisfy themselves on insurance and local flood measures.
A material restriction applies: the property is subject to a Local Occupancy Clause requiring purchasers to have lived or worked in Cumbria for the previous three years. This limits the purchaser pool and is important for investors or buyers relocating from outside the area. The freehold tenure, affordable council tax band C and fast broadband/mobile connectivity support everyday running costs and remote working.
Overall this is a practical, affordable entry into Ambleside living with scope to add value through targeted updating. It will suit buyers who prioritise location, parking and manageable outdoor space and who accept the occupancy restriction and modest plot size.
