Characterful eight-room guest house with four maisonettes in prime Lake District location..
8 individually styled letting bedrooms with keyless entry
Kelsick Villa is a traditionally built Victorian guest house occupying a high-profile corner position in Ambleside, overlooking parkland and the miniature golf course. The property combines eight individually styled letting bedrooms with keyless entry and four self-contained maisonettes to the rear, plus one-bedroom owners/staff accommodation — a layout that supports mixed income streams and straightforward operation from a distance.
The business currently reports a room-only turnover of £162,886 and is offered freehold at £970,000. Its location inside the Lake District National Park, close to local amenities and good transport links, supports year-round visitor demand and appeals to guests seeking an authentic period stay. The maisonettes provide reliable rental income or staff/worker lodging alongside the holiday letting operation.
Buyers should note material matters: the building dates from 1890 and will require ongoing maintenance typical of period stone properties. There is a medium flood risk in the area and the listing data shows a single bathroom figure that conflicts with the advertised en-suite bedrooms — these points should be clarified and surveyed before purchase. The surrounding area is affluent with good broadband and mobile signal, making remote management feasible.
This opportunity suits an investor or operator seeking an established, characterful hospitality asset with multiple income lines in a prime Lake District village location. Expect required conservation and maintenance responsibilities alongside the property’s income potential.
