This neat two-bedroom link-detached house offers a straightforward, well-located option for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking low-maintenance living. An open-plan living and dining area brings in natural light and flows to a compact, colourful garden — ideal for weekend relaxation or simple entertaining. Off-street parking for two adds practical convenience in a popular residential pocket of Kendal.
Constructed in the 1980s and with an EPC rating of C, the property presents sound, conventional construction and efficient mains gas central heating. The freehold tenure and affordable council tax help keep ownership costs reasonable. Nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good and local amenities such as a playground and leisure facilities make this a family-friendly setting.
Notable limitations are clear: the house is an average overall size (approximately 646 sq ft) with only one bathroom and a relatively small plot, so storage and outdoor space are limited. Glazing details aren’t defined in the listing and, as with many homes of this era, cosmetic updating may be desired to reflect contemporary tastes. There is no flooding risk and the area is very affluent with low crime levels, which supports long-term desirability.
For a buyer who prioritises location, straightforward running costs, and ready-to-live-in accommodation with modest outdoor space, this home is a practical and well-situated choice. Those needing larger rooms, more outdoor land, or multiple bathrooms should note the property’s compact footprint before viewing.
