Pembroke Cottage, Kendal

Nestled within one of Kendal's historic yards just off Kirkland, 2 Pembroke Cottage is a unique one-bedroom flat that presents an exceptional opportunity in the very heart of the town. Full of character and offering a generous plot of land to the rear, the property combines period features with exciting potential, making it an ideal prospect for those seeking an investment project or a characterful property, close to the gateway of the Lake District.

Upon entering the apartment, a cloakroom comprising a WC and pedestal wash hand basin is situated immediately to the right. Moving forward, you step into the main living room where traditional timber sash windows with wooden side panels flood the space with natural light while providing a rear aspect over the garden beyond. The room is rich in character, with a traditional open fire forming the focal point, complete with a stone hearth, mantle and surround.

Tucked away to one side of the living space is a well-appointed kitchen area fitted with a range of wall and base units, an inset sink with drainer and space for a freestanding cooker.

The double bedroom continues the home's period charm, featuring an attractive fireplace with decorative tiled surround and another traditional timber sash window overlooking the rear garden; the room is also fitted with a pedestal wash hand basin. Behind a sliding door from the bedroom is the shower room, fitted with a freestanding shower cubicle and a useful recessed storage cupboard.

Beneath the apartment is a private ground floor store, offering direct access to the rear garden. This fascinating space feels like a step back in time and includes an original inglenook fireplace, providing a unique and characterful feature rarely found in properties of this type.

Outside, the property benefits from a generous rear garden plot – a rare find in such a central location, offering excellent potential for further enhancement.

Perfectly positioned within the historic market town of Kendal, the property is ideally suited as a holiday home, an Airbnb investment or a first residence. With the amenities of the town on the doorstep and the spectacular landscapes of the Lake District just a short drive away, 2 Pembroke Cottage offers both charm and opportunity in equal measure.
