Known locally as 'The Old Grammar School' the properties on Church Walk comprise of two Grade II Listed properties which are now in need of full refurbishment to bring them back to life. Believed to date back to the late 1500's and used a school until 1888 the properties have seen several modifications until reaching their current form by the late 1700's, meaning the properties offer some excellent character features.
Positioned within the market town of Kendal, the properties are a short walk from the amenities and extensive facilities which are on offer. Nestled next to the renowned Abbot Hall Art Gallery, the properties enjoy a picturesque outlook over the parish church towards the River Kent.
Kendal itself is an accessible location which is conveniently set on the edge of the Lake District National Park, well positioned for access to the M6 motorway and with excellent connections via Kendal and Oxenholme railway stations, which links on to the West Coast Mainline. The town enjoys many historic references and provides some excellent attractions.
No 9 Church Walk
With diamond leaded and mullion windows and original fireplaces, this property offers some beautiful features that could be restored as part of the renovation.

The current layout of the property offers a side entrance hall, living room, dining room and kitchen to the ground floor with three bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. Externally, the property has a cottage style garden area to the front and side of the property encompassed within a stone wall.
No 11 Church Walk
Ripe for reconfiguring, this property currently offers two reception rooms to the ground floor and three bedrooms and a storage area to the first floor. The property is currently linked via a first floor access to the adjoining Lakeland Museum, currently closed for redevelopment. A planning application is currently with the local planning authority to approve the separation of the building. With a ground floor access to the front and rear, there is great scope to create an excellent home or investment property, given the accessible and sought after position within Kendal. Externally there is a garden space to the front and rear.
This property was originally converted from school premises to a cottage in the late 1800's. More recently the property has been used as museum premises being part of Abbot Hall and occupied by the Lakeland Arts. Whilst the current use class of the property is unconfirmed there have been no issues raised at pre-application discussions with the local authority about reinstating its former use as a residential property. Please note that all purchasers must satisfy themselves of the use class. The property is currently linked via a first floor access to the adjoining Lakeland Museum, currently closed for redevelopment. A planning application is currently with the local planning authority to approve the separation of the building.
Parking would be available in the neighbouring Peppercorn Lane or Parish Church car parks. Please note: a parking permit would need to be sought from Westmorland and Furness Council. The sellers cannot guarantee that this would be made available and all enquires must be made directly to the council.
With huge potential this is a superb opportunity to create one, or two fabulous homes!
