Charming Character Ground Floor Three Bed Apartment in the Heart of Kendal with NO CHAIN.
Welcome to Bluecoats School — a spacious and characterful ground floor apartment located in the heart of Kendal’s historic town centre. This unique home offers level access directly to Highgate, Kendal’s main street, and combines heritage charm with practical modern living.
The property features its own private garden, a former coach house entrance porch, and three light and airy bedrooms. There is a well-appointed family bathroom, a generously sized lounge, and a dining kitchen with a separate utility store, offering ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. This delightful home is set within a safe, gated courtyard—perfect for those seeking peace and privacy while still enjoying immediate access to the town's amenities.
Bluecoats School holds the freehold for both Number 1 and Number 2 Bluecoats School, with Number 2 currently held on a lease.
Access to the property is through a gated archway, part of the original hospital and schoolmaster's house, now home to a charming tearoom. The site is rich in local history; it is believed that the original hospital and almshouses were established for widows of good reputation, who contributed to cotton clothing production in exchange for free accommodation and a weekly allowance of one shilling (approximately 5p).
This is a rare opportunity to own a historic yet functional home in one of Kendal’s most desirable central locations—ideal for those looking for character, convenience, and a true sense of community.
Entrance - As you approach the property, you are welcomed by a traditional high-ceilinged entrance featuring a stone floor and classic wooden doors.
Living Room - Accessed from the hallway, the spacious living room features a gas fire with artificial coal, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. Four high-level windows looking out onto the rear and front elevation allowing natural light to flood the room enhancing its inviting feel.
Kitchen - The kitchen is fitted with white wall, base, and drawer units, complemented by simple yet elegant worktops that combine style with practicality. It features an electric fan-assisted oven with a four-ring hob, along with integrated appliances including a single drainer sink unit, dishwasher, and fridge freezer—creating a seamless and functional cooking space
Utility Room - Accessed from the kitchen, the utility store room offers a practical space with room for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and freezer. Large rear-facing windows provide natural light and a view of the back elevation, and there is also access to the loft from this room.
Bedroom One - Accessed from the hallway, Bedroom One is a spacious double room with ample space for furniture and storage. Large windows looking out onto the front elevation to allow plenty of natural light to brighten the space.
Bedroom Two - Accessed from the hallway, Bedroom Two is a spacious double room with ample space for furniture and storage. Large windows overlooking the front elevation fill the room with natural light.
Bedroom Three - Accessed from the hallway, Bedroom Three is the smallest of the three bedrooms, yet still comfortably accommodates a double bed and some furniture. Large front-facing windows allow natural light to brighten the room.
Bathroom - Accessed from the hallway, the bathroom features a white three-piece suite comprising a tiled bath with shower over, a pedestal wash basin, and a toilet. A towel rail positioned above the radiator adds a practical finishing touch.
Garden - Outside the property, you'll find a spacious stone-paved garden, offering ample room for outdoor furniture, potted plants, and relaxed entertaining.
Agents Note - There is permission for the flat above to walk across part of the garden to reach the steps and access.
