OVERVIEW
Requiring a full programme of modernisation and updating, this traditional mid terraced house is a blank canvas and perfect for buyers looking for a project. Offering versality for new owners to decide the layout and subject to relevant consents, there is potential to create a kitchen and utility/WC on the ground floor - the current first floor kitchen could then become a bedroom. The top floor space has wonderful exposed beams and there are quirks and period features throughout the house. Externally, the property has an elevated good sized garden space - a rarity in a property of this style. Improvement works have been started and some of the windows are double glazed. Available with no onward chain.
-
Within walking distance of the town centre, riverside walks, Brewery Arts Centre and gym - the property is perfectly placed. Schools and public transport are easily reached and the property is within Kendal’s Conservation Area.
ACCOMMODATION
From Milnthorpe Road, a traditional wooden front door leads into the sitting room. The ginnel at the side runs between 38 and 40 giving access to the gardens. Once inside, the potential and character is immediately apparent. There is a large fireplace and sash window, a door leads to the stairwell and there is a useful understairs cellar space housing the Glow Worm boiler. Continuing towards the rear of the house, a room to the left could be a utility/WC and a rooflight has been fitted. The final space on the ground floor has excellent scope to become a kitchen with double glazed windows and rooflights installed ensuring the space would be light and bright.
-
Period stairs wind up through the property and there are exposed floorboards and wooden doors. The room at the front has two windows overlooking the river and there is an alcove cupboard and a cast metal fire surround (not fitted) - this room would be equally suited as a lovely sitting room or generous bedroom. The current kitchen at the rear is fitted with a sink unit, worktops and a double glazed window. The stairs continue to the second floor and into the top bedroom. Exposed A frame beams add character and charm and there is a pleasant view towards the river from the sash window. The adjoining bathroom has a three piece suite.
-
Externally, a courtyard at the rear between 38 and 40 has steps leading up to separate garden areas. Number 40 has the first garden on the left. Being larger than expected, the garden does require some landscaping and maintenance. A ginnel runs between the houses to Milnthorpe Road.
