Description

Nestled within a historic cobbled yard just off Kendal's High Street, this charming end-terrace cottage offers a unique blend of character and renovation potential. The property, situated in a Conservation Area, features original elements like timber sash windows and exposed wooden beams that reflect its heritage. While the home requires some modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to tailor a space to their tastes. The inviting living room boasts a rustic mantle, complemented by ample storage under the stairs. The kitchen at the rear provides direct access to a private yard and is equipped with essential fittings, including wall units and an inset sink. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, with two spacious doubles that benefit from natural light streaming through front-facing windows. A single bedroom incorporates convenient built-in wardrobes. The house bathroom features basic but functional amenities. A notable highlight is the integral garage, which offers further development possibilities under relevant permissions. Outside, the manageable rear yard provides an ideal area for outdoor relaxation. Situated close to Kendal's amenities—including shops, transport links, and schools—this property represents a rare chance to own a piece of local history while investing in its future.
