Set high above Kendal in sought-after Greenside, this elegant Victorian townhouse spans four floors and 1,873 sq ft. It’s a clear renovation project offering strong scope to add value through sympathetic updating and reconfiguration.
The ground floor provides versatile space that, subject to planning, could be converted into an Airbnb or holiday-let unit, creating a separate income stream. The house retains original Victorian features — bay windows, marble fireplace, corbels, cornicing and inner staircase — giving character that will appeal to buyers seeking period detail.
Five well-proportioned bedrooms across the upper floors and a large rear garden with a storage shed offer flexible family accommodation or rental capacity. Practical points: the property requires full renovation, has a single bathroom for five bedrooms, an EPC rating of D and above-average council tax. Crime levels in the area are recorded as very high, which buyers should factor into security and insurance costs.
Location strengths include panoramic rooftop views over Kendal, a short walk to town amenities, good mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for holiday-let management or home working. Transport links are convenient, with the M6 and mainline rail within easy reach and the Lake District under 15 miles away.
