Millstones Business Centre is a stone-built, detached former agricultural building set in the Lake District National Park. The site extends to approximately 0.83 acres and currently houses four let units with communal facilities and car parking, producing a current rent roll of £2,190 per calendar month (excluding VAT). The building benefits from double glazing (installed post-2002), an EPC rating of B and mains services, with oil-fired boiler heating and radiators.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor seeking an income-producing, multi-unit commercial asset in a high-appeal rural location. The property’s flexible layout includes a café, retail/office spaces, a gym with shower facilities and communal WCs, making it attractive to small local businesses and community-focused uses. Conditional planning was granted in 2005 for conversion to a tearoom and craft facilities (ref: 4/05/0487/4), indicating further potential subject to current planning and park constraints.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is oil-fired (not connected to a community system), the boundary walls are traditional granite with assumed limited insulation, and the site sits in a medium flood-risk area. The property lies within a national park, so alterations or redevelopment would be subject to stricter controls. Services have not been tested and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries into condition, statutory consents and tenant arrangements.
For the right buyer this centre offers steady rental income, scope to increase value through targeted refurbishment or alternative uses allowed by planning, and the marketing appeal of a Lake District address. The combination of rural setting, on-site parking and extensive grounds will suit investors wanting a versatile, local business hub rather than an intensive redevelopment site.
