Summary - Holker House, Compston Road, AMBLESIDE LA22 9DJ
7 bed 4 bath Terraced
Versatile central Ambleside home with B&B potential and period charm.
Seven bedrooms with three en-suite rooms and two reception rooms
Holker House is a traditional Lakeland Victorian mid-terrace offering seven bedrooms and flexible three-floor accommodation in the heart of Ambleside. Previously run partly as bed-and-breakfast, the layout already includes three en-suite rooms, a second reception, and a basement/cellar that adds useful storage or conversion potential. Its central position gives level access to shops, cafés, parkland and fell walks from the doorstep.
The house retains attractive period details — original doors, tiled vestibule floor and the painted Victorian stair — which give character and appeal to visitors or long-term residents. The fabric is solid brick with older double glazing and mains gas central heating; these provide a sound starting point for improvement rather than a complete rebuild.
The property is sold freehold and vacant on completion, making it straightforward to manage for someone looking to reinstate or expand short‑stay letting, create a multi-room guest house, or convert into a large family home. However, it requires modernisation throughout, and the assumed lack of wall insulation means energy upgrades will be needed to improve comfort and running costs. Flood risk is medium and should be factored into insurance and any letting plans.
