Summary - KIRKWOOD PRINCES ROAD WINDERMERE LA23 2DD
10 bed 8 bath Guest House
Turnkey holiday business with owners’ three‑bed apartment and parking.
Seven individually furnished letting rooms, all with en suite facilities
Kirkwood is a well-maintained Victorian stone guesthouse in the heart of Windermere, positioned midway between Bowness and Windermere village. The property combines seven en‑suite letting rooms over three floors with a separate three‑bed owners’ apartment, delivering an immediate income layout and clear holiday‑let appeal in the Lake District National Park.
Stand-out operational features include two private parking spaces plus plentiful on‑street parking, high‑speed broadband (ultrafast download/upload speeds), and a good-sized dining room and communal areas already configured for guest services. Period features and traditional slate/stone construction give strong character that is attractive to visitors seeking authentic local accommodation.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the mid‑terrace granite walls were built pre‑1929 and are assumed uninsulated, and some rooms have restricted head height under beams. The double glazing is present but install date is unknown. There is a tank cupboard and wall‑mounted boiler; heating is mains gas radiators. The rear owners’ patio has access across the neighbouring property, which buyers should verify for rights of way.
For an investor or owner‑operator, this freehold guesthouse presents a turnkey tourism business in a very affluent area with low crime and no flood risk. Some modernization and energy‑efficiency improvements could reduce running costs and increase year‑round bookings, while the existing layout supports immediate trading and short‑term income growth.
