Set on the top floor of a handsome Lakeland stone building, this recently modernised two-bedroom apartment combines period charm with contemporary comfort. Large windows and high ceilings create a bright living room and kitchen-diner that frame uninterrupted views to Coniston Old Man and the surrounding fells.
The flat has been run successfully as a 4* holiday let, producing about £27,000pa and including forward bookings and most contents. Its central village location is extremely convenient — a level 100m walk to shops, cafés and local amenities — and the property sits within the Lake District National Park, appealing to holidaymakers and second-home buyers.
Practical details favour easy ownership: gas central heating, double glazing, a long lease (circa 975–977 years remaining) and mains services. A designated off-street parking space is available by separate rental from a neighbouring property (£100 pcm). The building is managed informally — Rooftops contributes 20% towards shared costs such as building insurance — and the flat currently benefits from small business rates opportunities for holiday use.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold and the freehold is owned by the lower property. There is an ongoing parking rental and shared contribution toward building costs. The site sits in a medium flood-risk area, which may affect insurance and some buyers’ suitability. Broadband is average; mobile coverage varies by provider.
Overall this is a well-presented, deceptively spacious apartment ideal for an investor seeking immediate rental income or a buyer wanting a low-maintenance Lake District base with exceptional fell views.
