Description

This charming end-terraced cottage is nestled in a picturesque cobbled yard just off the historic High Street of Kendal, within a designated Conservation Area. Brimming with period features like exposed wooden beams and traditional sash windows, this property exudes character and heritage. While it currently requires updating, this offers a remarkable opportunity for prospective buyers to modernise and tailor the space to their own tastes. Upon entry, the home greets you with a cosy living area accentuated by an attractive rustic beam over an alcove—an ideal spot for creating a snug atmosphere. The under-stairs storage adds practicality to the layout. The kitchen, located at the back of the house, includes essential fittings such as wall-mounted cabinets, an inset sink, gas hob, and freestanding cooker while offering direct access to a small rear yard. On the first floor are three well-sized bedrooms along with a bathroom that includes standard fixtures. Two of the bedrooms overlook the quaint cobbled yard, providing pleasant views. The integral garage presents additional potential; its presence so close to town amenities opens up exciting possibilities for future development or extension (subject to relevant permissions). The outdoor space comprises a manageable flagged seating area perfect for low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment. Conveniently positioned near Kendal's range of amenities—the property provides easy access to supermarkets, public transport links, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and vibrant local shops—making it an appealing prospect for investors or anyone looking to add their personal touch on a historic cottage.
