Established eight-bedroom guesthouse in Keswick with flexible change-of-use and forward bookings.
Freehold eight-bedroom guesthouse with separate two-bed owners’ accommodation
An eight-bedroom, six-bathroom Victorian mid-terrace in Keswick offered as a freehold guesthouse with two-bedroom owners’ accommodation. Harvington House sits in the Lake District National Park and benefits from change-of-use permission for flexible operation as a guest house, holiday let or single dwelling. The business is presented with forward bookings and has been improved over 30 years of the current ownership.
Accommodation is arranged over four floors with a guest dining room, separate owners’ suite, lower-ground self-contained living space, kitchen/dining, utility and an enclosed rear yard leading to a small drying green. Several bedrooms include ensuite facilities and upper rooms enjoy Lakeland fell views. The property’s solid granite/whinstone walls and high Victorian ceilings are characteristic and attractive for guests.
Practical points: the overall footprint is small (c.850 sq ft) on a small plot, and exterior stone walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect heating costs despite mains gas boiler and radiators. EPC rating is C. Council tax is charged to business and the location offers very low crime, fast broadband and strong local amenities and tourism footfall in Keswick town centre.
This is best suited to an investor or operator seeking an established, turn-key guesthouse or a buyer wanting a flexible holiday-let in a prime Lake District town. Expect periodic maintenance typical of a property built 1900–1929 and plan for potential upgrade work to insulation or internal modernisation if energy efficiency is a priority.
