Description
Built in 1859, by the Wilson family of Dallam Tower, this grand Georgian townhouse is located on Kendal’s main street. Today, this independent hostel stands adjacent to the popular Brewery Arts Centre that hosts shows, concerts, festivals, exhibitions and workshops through the year.
LocationThe Lake District is England's largest National Park and attracts around 18 million visitors annually. The park contains 64 lakes and 200 mountains and there are a wide variety of opportunities for outdoor pursuits, visits to gardens, castles, stately homes and attractions. Kendal is a busy market town, a gateway to the National Park, the administrative centre for the Lake District and a centre for tourism. Lancaster lies circa 18 miles to the south and Carlisle circa 60 miles north, the hostel occupies a central position at the junction of the A6 and A591 in the northwest of the town centre. The M6 motorway is approximately eight miles away and the railway station is only a short walk from the property and has a direct line to Manchester city centre and Manchester Airport.
Internal DetailsThe historic building has been cleverly arranged to include the following:
Living room and reception area, commercial kitchen, dining room, 13 Bedrooms – sleeping 46, five en suite shower rooms, four additional shower rooms, four WCs and a large dry cellar divided into two areas.
With separate external access the property also incorporates:
Three self-contained bedsits each with lounge/bedroom with double bed, kitchenette, en suite shower room.
Bike Store, Bin Store, Washing lines
The OpportunityThe owners currently operate the hostel and bedsits as non-serviced accommodation marketed through their own website and Airbnb. There is the potential for a new owner to continue to run the business as it currently is however we anticipate that a purchaser will see the potential to develop the business further, subject to planning consents, in the visitor accommodation and hospitality sector or adapted to become a HMO.
Please note that the front of the property sits within a conservation area. We are advised that the Grade 2 Listing relates to the sash windows, main staircase and two period fireplaces. There is gas central heating throughout the property.
Available on request.
