Summary - School House Cottage, Main Street LA22 0NT
4 bed 3 bath Guest House
Established Lake District let with sunny garden and rental income potential.
Grade II listed guest house with period features
This established Grade II‑listed guest house sits on Main Street in picturesque Hawkshead, in the heart of the Lake District National Park. The property combines three en-suite letting rooms with separate owners’ accommodation, generous communal rooms and a large south‑facing garden that frames much of the accommodation. A standalone pavilion and an optional Shepherds Hut (sold separately) add flexible letting or owner-use potential.
The building is traditional stone with many period features and has been operated as a successful leasehold guest business. Practical assets include a single garage, parking, mains gas central heating, double glazing and a receipt-level broadband speed of around 40 Mbps. Council Tax/Business Rates characteristics may reduce payable sums for qualifying buyers.
Buyers should note two material constraints: the property is leasehold with only around five years remaining on the current agreement (10‑year lease started July 2020), and its Grade II listing will restrict alterations. Mortgage lenders commonly refuse lending on very short leases, so purchase will likely be cash or specialist-financed. These factors reduce friction for a cash buyer or experienced investor seeking an income-producing, characterful Lake District property.
