Positioned on the first floor of a well‑maintained 1990s development in the Lake District National Park, this newly renovated two‑bedroom apartment combines high specification fittings with dramatic west‑facing lake and fell views. The open plan living and dining space opens onto a tiled balcony to enjoy evening sunsets over Windermere, The Old Man of Coniston and the Langdale Pikes. The kitchen is a Mark Wilkinson installation with Miele and Siemens integrated appliances. Both bathrooms are modern and fitted to a high standard, including an en suite to the principal bedroom.
The apartment is presented as a successful holiday let with a proven gross annual income of approximately £35,000–£40,000 and is sold with forward bookings and the majority of contents. Practical features include private covered parking with an electric car charger, a useful owners’ store for outdoor kit, lift access, and access to well landscaped communal grounds across two acres. The 999‑year lease gives long‑term security; ground rent is minimal.
Buyers should note material running costs and constraints: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £2,318 and a small ground rent of £25. There is an additional £365 annual charge for holiday lettings waste collection when used for that purpose. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which may affect running costs, and broadband speeds are reported as slow despite excellent mobile signal. These factors are relevant for full‑time residents as well as investors forecasting operating costs.
This apartment suits purchasers seeking a turn‑key lakeside base with proven income potential, owners wanting easy access to Ambleside amenities and pier transport, or those looking for a secure, low‑maintenance permanent home in an affluent setting. The combination of panoramic outlook, high‑end kitchen, covered parking with EV charging and established management make this a compelling option; consider budgeting for energy and service charge commitments.
