Set in a central cobbled square with open views towards Kendal Castle and the surrounding fells, this end-terrace Victorian cottage blends period character with practical living. The house retains many original features and offers three bedrooms across compact, well-proportioned floors — ideal for someone seeking a distinctive town-centre home.
The property is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area; this gives the house its special historic appeal but will impose restrictions and potential extra costs if you plan alterations. It is offered leasehold with an unusually long lease (954 years) and a low ground rent, and it comes to market chain free.
Internally there is a modern-traditional kitchen, two store rooms for extra storage, and gas central heating to radiators. The building’s footprint is small (approximately 797 sq ft), so the layout suits downsizers, professionals who want town living, or buyers prepared to make efficient use of compact space rather than families needing large reception rooms.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the EPC is rated D, which could mean improvement work to raise efficiency; flood risk is low. Note also that holiday letting is restricted and the area records above-average crime, which should be factored into any purchase decision. Overall, this is a characterful, centrally located home for someone who values history and views and accepts the listed-status constraints.
