This well-presented one-bedroom second-floor apartment in Levens offers an unusually affordable entry to the local market — currently offered at 53% of its market value. The compact 422 sq ft layout is practical and low-maintenance, with an open-plan living/kitchen, a double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, and an allocated parking space close to the block. Ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
The property sits in a quiet village development with a pleasant outlook over the Lyth Valley. The long lease (979 years remaining) and low annual service charge (£820, includes buildings insurance) reduce ongoing ownership costs. Council Tax is Band A, keeping running costs modest for a first-time buyer.
Buyers should note the sale is subject to a local occupancy clause and explicit restrictions: no buy-to-let, holiday let or second home use permitted. The apartment is small in overall size, so it suits a single occupant or couple rather than those needing lots of storage or outdoor space. Early viewing is recommended to local applicants due to the price and occupancy restriction.
Overall this is an attractive, budget-friendly opportunity for a first-time purchaser seeking a village location with good connectivity to Kendal and the M6. The flat requires no major works and offers immediate, low-cost occupation with potential to personalise finishes over time.
