Set on the second floor of a mid‑20th century development, this two‑bed apartment offers bright living space and direct fell views to the front. The living room is generously proportioned for the size, complemented by a modern kitchen, gas central heating and UPVC double glazing for year‑round comfort. Residents benefit from permit parking nearby, an external storage outbuilding and fast broadband — practical for everyday life in Windermere town centre.
The property is leasehold with approximately 111 years remaining, an annual service charge of £529.21 and a nominal ground rent of £10. It is an ex‑local authority home and subject to a local occupancy (Section 106) clause restricting purchase to those who have lived or worked in Cumbria for the previous three years. There is no lift access; access is via communal stairwell to the second floor.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: two bedrooms (one with built‑in shelving), a three‑piece bathroom and a kitchen with space for appliances. Room sizes are modest overall (total about 547 sq ft), so the flat suits a practical couple, first‑time buyer or someone downsizing who wants town amenities and Lake District access without extensive maintenance. Some modernisation could unlock extra value for buyers prepared to refurbish.
