Turn-key B&B with owners’ flat, ample parking and Lake District views.
Freehold six-bedroom guest house with forward bookings and repeat customers
An established, six-bedroom guest house with strong forward bookings and repeat custom, set on Penrith Road with Lakeland fells views, notably Latrigg. The business is offered freehold and includes five en-suite letting rooms plus spacious owners’ accommodation, making it ready for immediate trading or expansion. Practical benefits include ample off-road parking for guests, a garage, EV charging point, and a large plot within the Lake District National Park.
The property is a Victorian semi-detached house with high ceilings, bay windows and stone elevations. Accommodation is arranged over three floors with a welcoming entrance hallway, guest dining room, ground-floor guest room and kitchen/dining leading to the private owners’ living room and rear access. Five well-presented en-suite letting rooms occupy the first and second floors, and the owners enjoy a triple-aspect main bedroom and bathroom.
Important facts and considerations: the listing notes a commercial EPC C (a separate reference lists EPC D), and glazing is double but install date is unknown. The building was constructed before 1900 with granite walls that are assumed uninsulated; potential buyers should budget for possible insulation or upgrade works. Council Tax Band A and no flood risk are positives, but prospective buyers should verify running costs and any National Park restrictions affecting alterations.
This offering suits buyers seeking a turn-key hospitality business or an owner-operator lifestyle change in a very affluent, low-crime area. The location provides tourist demand, easy road access, nearby good and outstanding schools, and pleasant local amenities — ideal for continuing a successful guest-house enterprise or converting accommodation mix subject to planning and Park authority rules.
