Description
LOCATION
The property is situated to the off Highgate in Kendal town centre, to the north of the Brewery Arts Centre access road. The building is less than 25 metres away from Kendal Brewery Arts Centre which provides a cinema, theatre, art gallery and a popular public house/restaurant with car parking. Abbot Hall recreational park is around 150 metres to the southeast and the River Kent a further 50 metres away. There are public car parking provisions on Dowkers Lane, a short distance to the east.
Highgate is popular with a range of retailers, leisure businesses and professional services with the subject premises being circa 300 metres to the south of Stricklandgate which is the prime retail thoroughfare in the town. The A6 Highgate travels north as a one-way system directly in front of the premises and the immediate surrounding area provides a mixture of retail, leisure and residential properties.
Kendal is the principal town of South Lakeland and is situated just outside of the southern boundary 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. 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.
Oxenholme Train Station which is situated on the West Coast main railway line is located 3 miles to the south providing direct services to London (approximate journey time 2 hours 50 minutes) and Glasgow (1 hour 45 minutes).
Kendal has 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. As well as all year-round tourism, Kendal hosts a number of festivals and events.
DESCRIPTION
The building comprises a part two/three storey building of stone construction, sitting underneath two pitched slate roofs and incorporating attractive timber framed sash windows on all floors.
Internally the accommodation is arranged at ground floor with a lobby, staff kitchen, WC and shower room, office that leads through to a storeroom and secondary entrance, at first floor with two interconnected offices and at second floor with storage and a bathroom.
The offices are generally fitted out with carpeted and timber flooring, plaster painted walls and ceilings, wall mounted radiators, data trunking, timber framed sash windows and strip diffused fluorescent lighting.
The kitchen has carpeted flooring, plaster painted walls and ceiling, floor mounted units incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer, tile splash back and a gas hob.
The building has most recently been used as offices for the Brewery Arts Centre and would be suitable to upgrade for the same continued commercial use, or alternatively the property may have residential conversion potential, subject to planning.
Externally, to the side is a small, enclosed courtyard bounded by stone walling with an attractive outlook to the Brewery Arts Centre.
