Highgate, Kendal LA9

Charming Character Ground Floor Apartment in the Heart of Kendal.

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.
