A bright, purpose-built one-bedroom retirement apartment situated in a managed development on Shap Road, Kendal. This ground-floor, South East–facing apartment (602 sq ft) was constructed in 2023 and comes finished with fitted flooring, curtains, light fittings and an open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances. The development includes communal facilities: landscaped gardens, a communal lounge, guest suite for overnight visitors and off-street parking. A house manager is available during office hours and a remotely monitored 24-hour emergency call system provides peace of mind.
Tenure is leasehold with shared ownership options (example: 50% share £117,500 with £270pcm service charge; full 75% share or other shares available; full purchase price shown £176,250). The long lease (around 989 years remaining) and below-average service charge are positives for affordability and security. Main heating is by electric room heaters and the SAP rating is up to 85; primary fuel is electricity, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes.
This apartment suits a downsizer or over-60 buyer seeking low-maintenance living close to Kendal amenities and good broadband/mobile connectivity. Note the property is subject to retirement-scheme rules and shared-ownership conditions (restrictions on whole-home subletting and nomination periods), which can affect flexibility and future resale. Overall, it offers modern, low-upkeep retirement living with convenient communal facilities but expect electric heating running costs and shared-ownership constraints.
