A prominently sited three-storey stone building on the corner of Stricklandgate and Maude Street, currently configured as a restaurant with bar, customer facilities and a large rear catering kitchen. The property includes one-bedroom living accommodation above and offers generous open-plan ground-floor trading space with high ceilings and strong town centre exposure — ideal for a hospitality operator or investor seeking an income-producing asset.
Constructed before 1900 with a traditional stone façade and double glazing, the building provides characterful street presence and upper-floor town views. At 1,557 sq ft (GIA) and EPC rating C, it is ready for continued commercial use, but offers clear scope for reconfiguration or fit-out to suit a new concept such as café, wine bar or specialist restaurant.
Notable constraints are factual: the tenure is not specified in the particulars, the plot is small, and the stone walls appear uninsulated (typical of older buildings). The property sits in an area with very high recorded crime levels, which buyers should factor into risk and insurance assessments. It is available freehold at £249,950 or to let at £18,900 per annum.
For an investor or operator, the location benefits from Kendal’s year-round visitor trade as the Gateway to the Lakes and a busy mixed-use high street neighbouring professional firms and independent retailers. The layout and catering infrastructure reduce immediate capital expense, but planned maintenance or refurbishment may be needed to modernise décor, services or improve energy performance.
