Tucked into a historic Georgian frontage in central Kendal, this chain-free three-bedroom duplex combines period character with recent upgrades. The principal bedroom occupies the upper floor with vaulted timber ceilings and an en-suite jacuzzi bath, while the main living level offers a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living room with sash windows and far-reaching views over Kendal Castle. The fitted kitchen was refitted in 2019 with integrated appliances and marble worktops.
Practical features include one allocated off-street parking space, a private shed, double glazing and gas central heating. The apartment extends to approximately 1,467 sq ft, giving unusually generous room proportions for town-centre living and useful built-in storage including a walk-in pantry and eaves cupboards. The long residential lease (980 years remaining) and below-average annual service charge (£620) are positive tenure points for buyers.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold (details above), the wider location is recorded with a high flood risk, and local crime statistics are very high — factors that may affect insurance and personal security. There is no private garden and access is via communal entrance and internal staircases, which may be limiting for those needing level access.
This apartment will suit professionals, downsizers or buyers looking for spacious town-centre living with characterful features and allocated parking. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, vaulted principal bedroom and the elevated castle outlook, but buyers should factor in flood risk and local crime when considering suitability and insurance costs.
