This one-bedroom apartment is located in Wainwright Court, a retirement development in Kendal, Cumbria. The property’s location in Kendal offers convenient access to local amenities and transport links, including Kendal train station (0.92 km). Several well-regarded schools are also within close proximity, including Stramongate Primary School (0.60 km) and Kendal Nursery School (0.76 km). The apartment itself features a well-presented living area, bedroom, kitchen, and accessible bathroom. The finishes appear to be in reasonable condition and suitable for its intended use, although the fixtures and fittings reflect a particular style that may not appeal universally. The property benefits from a private balcony, though the overall size of the apartment and lack of a dedicated outdoor space are common characteristics of retirement apartments. The list price of £190,000 seems generally in line with other comparable properties in the vicinity, considering that the average price of homes in the immediate area is in the same range. However, this valuation should be contextualised as the surrounding area has more spacious properties in higher price brackets and comparing properties in this manner is less reliable. The absence of garden space, and the target demographic (residents 70+), are important aspects to consider. Overall, this property presents a suitable retirement option due to its location, amenities, and accessibility features. The lack of garden space will however likely reduce it’s appeal to wider demographics.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
