2 Bed Flat, Highgate, LA9

A superb, bright, tastefully decorated two-bedroom duplex apartment in a recently renovated Georgian Regency terrace in Kendal town centre with accommodation over two floors and allocated parking. The accommodation consists of a spacious open plan lounge/kitchen fitted to a high standard with a log burner, 2 double bedrooms and bathroom with bath/shower.


The apartment is unfurnished apart from white goods and four bar stools. White goods include:

• washing machine, which doubles as a tumble-dryer
• dishwasher
• fridge
• freezer
• oven
• microwave grill

There is one parking space available with extra parking available for free in nearby streets, alternatively a parking permit can be purchased from the council. There's bike storage for two bikes in the downstairs cupboard in the apartment. There is additional storage in the downstairs cupboard and the window seats in the living room.

The main stairwell into the Building is accessible only to the four apartments and all the neighbours are lovely. 

Tenants:
Please note this is strictly a NO SMOKING apartment. Smokers considered but you would need to smoke or vape outside.

Please also note it is a two-bedroom apartment so would not be suitable for a family with more than one child over 10 as this would be considered overcrowding in the UK.

Pets considered but limited to one cat or one dog due to a rule in the building beyond my control. Please note there is no cat flap and no possibility to add one as it's a communal staircase to get to the property. 

Tenants may have a lodger, subject to the Landlord's approval, but this would be a private agreement between the tenant and their lodger and the tenant would still bear sole responsibility for the tenancy and the rent. Happy to discuss any other requirements.

Accessibility: please note there are stairs to the apartment and in the apartment.

Bills:
Tenants are responsible for all bills and contents insurance, if required.

SLDC council tax band B. EPC rated C. Super fast (probably now ultra fast) fibre-optic broadband is available (but not included in the rent).

Previous tenants have advised bills tend to be around:
- Gas & Electric: £80-140pcm depending on the season
- Water: £32 (you can't be on a meter here so a discount is automatically applied)
- Council tax: £180pcm
- Then consider if you need: broadband; TV license; Sky TV; insurance etc.

The rental price is £950 for the whole apartment and the deposit is £1096.15 (5 weeks' rent). Bills are not included. 

It's available from 28th May 2023. Should you wish to take the property, a holding deposit of £219 (one week's rent) will be payable. If the tenant fails a right to rent check or hasn't taken the necessary steps to ensure they can meet the criteria and rent they will be required to pay for the reference.

I'm a reasonable landlord. I didn't charge fees even before they were banned, I'll fix things quickly and I won't charge you for general wear and tear.

PLEASE DO NOT CLICK 'RENT NOW'. You will likely be invited to view the property if interested. A holding deposit is not required at this stage. I would never ask for any money before we have confirmed the most suitable tenant and that the property is right for you.
