Nestled in a peaceful residential area, overlooking the River Kent and a bowling green, this beautifully renovated stone-built cottage offers the perfect blend of character and contemporary living. Sympathetically developed and finished to a high standard, the property retains its original cha...

Property Oracle says ..

The property is a 2 bedroom terraced house located in Kendal, Cumbria. The property is situated on Benson Green and benefits from being close to local amenities and transport links. Kendal train station is within a short walking distance, providing access to other towns and cities. Several well-regarded schools are also nearby, including Stramongate Primary School and South Lakes Academy, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The property itself appears to be in good condition. The images show a recently renovated kitchen and bathroom, which are modern and well-maintained. The living areas also appear to be in good order. There is evidence of exposed stonework which adds character to the property. The small garden is well-maintained, adding to the overall appeal. While the plot size is listed as 0.00 sqft, the images show a small, enclosed courtyard-style garden. This is a positive aspect, especially for a terraced property in a town centre location. The size is limited, but sufficient for outdoor space. Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £265, and the list price of this property is £249,950 for 947.22 sqft, the price seems reasonable. The average price for properties in the area is significantly higher (£475,979), suggesting this property offers good value. However, the lack of plot size information in the provided data makes a definitive statement on price difficult. The property’s condition and location are strong selling points, potentially justifying the price despite the smaller size. Nearby comparable properties support this assessment, with prices ranging from £120,500 to £300,000.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
