Set in the heart of historic Cartmel, this well-presented one-bedroom flat blends period character with practical living. Tower House Flat 4 occupies a first-floor position reached via a private doorway off Cavendish Street, moments from the village square, racecourse and dining destinations. The apartment has been maintained to a good standard and has operated successfully as a holiday let.
Rooms are compact but useable: a bright sitting room with sash windows and an electric stove, a fitted kitchen, one double bedroom with built-in cupboards, and a bathroom with bath and electric over-shower. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building has double glazing; walls are original granite (likely uninsulated), so further thermal upgrades are possible.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with a very long term remaining (965 years) and a modest annual management/service charge (£522 for 2024). There is a right of way along the rear pathway for access and maintenance. Essential negatives are a high local flooding risk and sole electric heating, which may affect running costs and insurance; wall insulation appears absent and could be considered for improvement.
This is a compact, characterful apartment suited to someone seeking a village bolt-hole, a small-owner-occupier, or an investor looking for a holiday-let location. It offers immediate occupancy with clear potential to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes.
