Flat 5, The Court Yard , Castle Street Kendal LA9 7AA

Nestled within one of Kendal's most historic areas, this delightful top-floor apartment sits within a secure, gated development formed from an original bakery, offering a truly unique blend of character, heritage and modern day comfort. The cobbled courtyard and preserved architectural details set a welcoming scene as you approach, with steps leading up past a communal balcony to the private entrance.

Upon entering the apartment, the hallway offers excellent storage with two built-in cupboards; one housing the hot water cylinder and the other fitted with rails, ideal as a cloak cupboard or wardrobe.

The heart of the home is the wonderfully quaint, triple-aspect open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, filled with charm. Exposed wooden beams, vaulted ceilings and an original feature from the old bakery, bring a sense of history to the room. The living area flows into the dining area positioned in front of a characterful bay window, where you can enjoy rooftop views stretching towards Kendal Castle, St George's Church, Gooseholme and the river beyond.

The kitchen continues the warm, homely feel with wooden units and integrated appliances, including a Hotpoint oven, four-ring electric hob, concealed extractor, under-counter fridge , freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and an inset sink with drainer.

Just off the hallway is the recently updated modern shower room, stylishly finished with tiled walls and flooring. It features a walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead set into the ceiling, an additional handheld shower, an alcove for storage, a vanity wash basin and WC.

Further along the hall are Bedrooms One and Two, both doubles. Bedroom One is a spacious and charming retreat with large windows offering panoramic rooftop views towards Benson Knott, exposed wooden beams and a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom Two also enjoys the same appealing rear aspect, with vaulted ceilings, beams and a built-in wardrobe.

A wooden staircase in the hallway leads up to the second floor, created from a thoughtful loft conversion that takes full advantage of the generous ceiling height. This upper level includes a second shower room fitted with an electric shower, WC and pedestal wash basin, as well as Bedroom Three, another comfortable double room brightened by Velux windows. This versatile room would make an ideal guest bedroom, home office or dressing room.

This top-floor apartment combines character, charm and practicality in one of Kendal's most desirable historic settings, an inviting home filled with warmth, history and scenic outlooks. Surrounding the development are picturesque walks, including routes up to Kendal Castle and along the canal path. In addition, a short walk across the bridge takes you directly into Kendal's vibrant town centre, where you'll find an abundance of cafés, shops and amenities. Perfect for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a unique and welcoming home.
