Summary - YARD, 177 FLAT B HIGHGATE KENDAL LA9 4EN
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact period home with parking and loft potential, ideal starter purchase.
Town-centre location with park and historic street outlooks
A compact, characterful one-bedroom flat in Kendal’s historic Highgate area, set within a stone-built terrace and enjoying town-centre convenience. The apartment includes an L-shaped lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom and a developed loft space, giving flexible living over a modest footprint of about 762 sq ft. A private off-street parking space to the rear and outlooks over Kirkland, Gillinggate and the park add genuine everyday value.
The construction appears traditional solid masonry with original features and secondary glazing; the property feels suited to a first-time buyer looking for character and central access or an investor seeking steady rental demand. The long lease (circa 958 years) and low ground rent remove major leasehold barriers, though the home likely needs routine internal updating rather than a full structural overhaul.
Practical costs and considerations are straightforward: a service charge of around £1,200 and a small £100 ground rent. There is no flood risk and heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. Note the local crime level is above average for the area — factor this into viewing and rental decisions. Overall, this is a well-located, solidly built period flat offering scope to add value through sympathetic internal modernisation.
