Location
The property is situated in Yard 23 and with vehicle access off New Road. Pedestrian access is off Stramongate, close to the junction with Finkle Street and Branthwaite Brow/Market Place in the centre of Kendal which is a market town in Cumbria at the edge of the Lake District National Park in the North West of England.
Kendal is the principal town of South Lakeland and is situated just outside of the south boundaries of the Lake District National Park, only 6 miles from Junctions 36 and 37 of the M6 Motorway. The town has a resident population of 29,495 (2011 Census) and is a popular tourist destination being 10 miles south of Windermere and the gateway to the Lakes which has recently gained World Heritage status. The town has a weighted retail catchment in excess of 50,000 people and a greater district catchment in excess of 102,000. The district’s Class Grouping indicates that in excess of 50% of the catchment area is of A, B or C demographic.
Kendal provides a lively town centre which benefits from local and tourism trade from the Lake District National Park with a good mix of local, regional and national retailers and leisure outlets. There are two main shopping centres, Elephant Yard which has occupiers such as Next, Boots and Costa Coffee and the Westmorland Shopping Centre which has Clarks Shoes, Waterstones and EE. The town centre also has a Marks and Spencer’s, Booths Supermarket, Lidl and a Tesco Metro. As well as all year-round tourism, Kendal benefits from a number of festivals and events.
Kendal town centre is set to benefit significantly from a major £13.7 million Levelling Up Funding investment, spearheaded by a partnership between Kendal College and Westmorland & Furness Council. Kendal College has expanded into the upper floor of the previously underutilised Westmorland Shopping Centre, establishing its third campus location in the heart of Kendal. The initial phase has already brought around 80 staff and 200 students into the town centre daily, positively impacting local retail and hospitality businesses, as the college intentionally does not offer catering to encourage local spending.
The next phase of the of the college campus development will see a £2.5 million investment, which will increase student numbers to over 500. Other areas of funding include the Market Hall (£4.5 million) to create a state-of-the-art facility, Market Place (£4.5 million), and improvements to Stramongate/Kent Street and The Riverside (£3 million). These investments will enhance Kendal's retail core, support local businesses, and strengthen the overall economic vibrancy of the town.
