Summary - 2 WANSFELL HOLME WINDERMERE LA23 1LS
4 bed 4 bath Link Detached House
Substantial period home with exceptional lake vistas and proven holiday-let income.
Grade II listed lakeside house with panoramic Windermere views
Set on an elevated 0.92-acre plot with uninterrupted views across Lake Windermere to Loughrigg Fell and the Langdales, 2 Wansfell Holme is a substantial Grade II listed lakeside residence offering 4,436 sq ft of accommodation. The current owners have carried out an extensive, sympathetic six‑year renovation — new roof, electrics, plumbing, kitchens and landscaping — so the house presents as a high-spec period home while retaining many original features.
Originally part of an eleven-bedroom manor now divided into three houses, this mid-terrace link property currently operates successfully as a holiday let and offers flexible use for owners wanting a principal residence, holiday income, or continued investment. Principal rooms include an open-plan dining/breakfast kitchen, a bay-windowed lounge facing the water, and a generous master suite plus three further bedroom suites. Cellars and a single garage add useful storage and plant space.
The plot and setting are standout assets: sweeping cobbled driveway with gated entrance, formal lawns, specimen planting, woodland backing onto National Trust land and near-direct access to a lakeside field. A marina recently consented nearby and Lowood Bay Resort & Spa marina are within walking distance, supporting both leisure use and rental demand.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate development or conversion plans. Broadband is fibre to cabinet but described as very slow; mobile signal is excellent. Shared access arrangements over the driveway, covenants/easements and a high Council Tax Band (G) are further practical considerations. For purchasers prioritising exceptional lake views, historic character and strong holiday-let potential, this is a rare offering in the Lake District National Park.
