Located in the heart of Kendal and within easy reach of the Lake District National Park, this stylish top-floor flat offers modern living in a convenient yet tucked-away yard setting. Just moments from Kendal town centre, the property enjoys excellent access to local shops, bars, restaurants and nearby bus and train links. Beautifully presented throughout, it would make an ideal first-time purchase, holiday let or lock-up-and-leave base and is offered to the market with no onward chain. The property also benefits from access to a cellar, located by the stairwell, which is divided into five sections-one allocated to each of the flats-providing useful additional storage space.

Upon entering, the hallway provides space for coats and access to the bathroom and the open-plan kitchen and living area. The modern bathroom is fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath with overhead shower, WC and vanity wash basin with mirrored cabinet above. Additional features include partially tiled walls, a heated towel rail and shaver socket.

The open-plan kitchen and living space is a bright and welcoming area, combining modern fittings with characterful exposed ceiling beams and recessed downlighting. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base units, laminate worktops, a part-tiled splashback and open shelving, providing practical storage while adding to the room's modern yet characterful feel. Appliances include an integrated New World oven, four-ring electric hob with extractor hood, stainless steel sink with drainer, space and plumbing for an undercounter washing machine, and space for a freestanding fridge. The wall-mounted Vaillant boiler is also located within this area. The room also offers space for a small breakfast bar, subtly defining the kitchen from the living space.

The living area provides a cosy place to relax, with space for a sofa and coffee table, complemented by a front-facing window fitted with plantation shutters. Leading through to the bedroom, which continues the characterful feel with exposed ceiling beams, the room comfortably accommodates a double bed and features a front-aspect window with plantation shutters, along with wall space suitable for hanging clothes.

Combining modern styling, charming character features and a highly convenient Kendal location close to the Lake District, this appealing property presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a stylish and low-maintenance home. Don't miss the chance to make this charming one bedroomed flat your own – a perfect first purchase or a savvy investment in one of the UK's most desirable locations.
