Overview

This former school house dates back to 1659 and is a significant part of Kendal's history and heritage. The school is known to be associated with Thomas Sandes "a former mayor of Kendal" whom endowed Dowkers hospital, Bluecoats school and the Sandes Alms houses. No 1 Bluecoats School is a spacious ground floor apartment, with a private garden, former coach house as an entry porch, three light and airy bedrooms. Family bathroom, a sizeable lounge and a dining kitchen with utility store. This characterful property would make the ideal home for those wanting safe courtyard style living, with space to entertain and be within the heart of Kendal's historic centre. Located with level access directly to Kendal's main-street Highgate. 1 Bluecoats school owns the freehold of number 1 & the freehold of a leased property number two Bluecoats school. There is much history and beauty behind this gated courtyard, as you access the property via the gated archway of the former hospital and the school masters house, which is now a tearoom. It is thought that the hospital and Alms houses, were empowered for widows of good reputation, who would in return work within the making of cotton clothing in return for a free cottage and one shilling 5p every Saturday.
