Summary - 16, LAKELANDS LA22 0BD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Turn-key buy-to-let in the heart of the Lake District, sold fully furnished and chain-free.
Panoramic views over Ambleside and surrounding fells
Set above Ambleside with sweeping views over the town and fells, this one-bedroom apartment offers easy, turn-key access to the Lake District lifestyle. The open-plan living space flows to a balcony that fits furniture and potted plants, extending the living area and making the most of the panorama. Allocated and visitor parking plus a residents' lift add everyday convenience.
Currently a successful holiday let and sold fully furnished, the property presents a clear investment opportunity or low-maintenance second home. Its long lease (962 years) removes immediate lease-length concerns, and chain-free sale shortens move-in or re-letting times. The location places countryside walks, shops and transport links within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the apartment is leasehold with an annual service charge around £3,000, and main heating is by electric room heaters — factors that influence running costs. EPC rating C is middling for efficiency. The block dates from the 1980s/90s and is an average-sized apartment, so cosmetic updates are possible to add value.
Overall this is a practical, well-located property for investors seeking an operational holiday let or for buyers wanting a compact, scenic base in the Lake District. The combination of furnishings, parking and lift access reduces friction for immediate rental or personal use, while scope for modernisation offers potential uplift for longer-term owners.
