We are in the middle of purchasing a house in Kendal. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the salability of the property?

Kendal conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
