Description

Nestled within a quaint cobbled yard just off Kendal's historic High Street, this end-terraced cottage at 39 Old Shambles exudes character and charm. Located in a Conservation Area, the property showcases original features such as rustic wooden beams and traditional sash windows, which reflect the rich history of Kendal. While some updating is needed, this home offers considerable potential for customization and modernisation, making it an excellent investment opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a historic dwelling. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a cozy living area featuring an attractive alcove with a wooden beam mantle—a perfect focal point. Ample under-stairs storage adds functionality to this inviting space. The kitchen, situated at the rear, is accessible through the living room and boasts several wall and base units with direct access to the exterior yard. On the first floor, three well-sized bedrooms await, along with a house bathroom that includes essential amenities. The integral garage adds further value, presenting possibilities for development or expansion (subject to necessary permissions) in this highly desirable central location. The low-maintenance rear yard provides a private outdoor area that’s perfect for relaxation. This property is ideally located steps away from Kendal's amenities—shops, schools, public transport links—and offers an exciting chance to own a distinctive piece of local heritage while creating a modern home.
