Characterful two-bed with Whinfell views and flexible upper-floor space.
Open-plan living with period features and high ceilings
A compact, characterful mid-terrace home arranged over multiple floors, offering open-plan living and far-reaching views toward Whinfell. Period features and high ceilings give an immediate sense of history and warmth, while the flexible second-floor room works well as an occasional bedroom, office or dressing room.
The property is freehold and sits in a conservation area, which preserves the attractive stone façade and outlook but will restrict external alterations. Accommodation is small (c.377 sq ft) so this suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance town-base rather than a family needing generous space. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the plot and garden are very small, internal living space is limited, and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect running costs and comfort. The EPC is D. The area’s crime level is recorded as very high — factor in security considerations and local checks when viewing.
For those looking to own a slice of Kendal’s history, this cottage offers immediate move-in potential with scope for modest, sympathetic improvements (insulation, energy upgrades, cosmetic updating) to increase comfort and value. Its location close to shops, schools and transport makes it a pragmatic choice for first-time buyers wanting character and central convenience.
