Summary - THE BOTHY REACLIFFE ROAD RUDYARD LEEK ST13 8RS
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Waterside bungalow — lifestyle home or proven holiday-let with hot tub and jetty.
Waterside detached bungalow with private jetty and renewed front deck
Set directly on the shores of Rudyard Lake, The Bothy is a rare waterside detached bungalow that works equally well as a cosy main residence or an established holiday let. The recent front deck with hot tub and private jetty create immediate curb appeal and outdoor living that buyers will notice first. Internally there are two double bedrooms, a luxury bathroom, a bright reception with lake views and a practical kitchen — all arranged across a compact 603 sq ft footprint.
For investors the property’s track record is compelling: the current owners report strong year-round holiday-let income. The freehold tenure and relatively affordable council tax simplify ownership and can make alternative lending or commercial borrowing options feasible (seek financial advice). Practical positives include fast broadband, very low local crime and a decent rear garden with off-street parking directly up the steps on Reacliffe Road.
Buyers should consider material negatives plainly. The site sits in a high flood-risk area — insurance and flood resilience measures will be important and could affect running costs and lending. The property is small, so it suits buyers who prioritise location and waterside lifestyle over large internal living space. The garage is offered to rent separately rather than included, and mobile signal is only average.
Overall, The Bothy is a distinctive opportunity for someone wanting immediate waterside living or a turn-key holiday-let with proven income. Its peaceful hamlet setting, woodland backdrop and strong outdoor amenities deliver a unique lifestyle proposition, provided purchasers factor in flood risk and the modest internal size.
