Set on the edge of Windermere village, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a compact, low-maintenance base in the Lake District. The property is well suited to someone seeking an easy-to-manage main home or a lock-up-and-leave second residence with direct access to local services and the A591.
The apartment sits in an elevated position with pleasant outlooks over an adjacent field and leafy gardens. It benefits from a private off-street parking space, double glazing throughout and straightforward electric heating, keeping day-to-day upkeep simple. The communal building is tidy and established, and each owner holds a share in the freehold.
Practical restrictions are important here: the lease forbids holiday letting and pets, though Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST) are permitted. The flat is small at about 472 sq ft, so it’s best suited to a couple or someone downsizing rather than a growing family. There is an annual service charge for communal maintenance and insurance (amount to be confirmed).
Buyers should note the heating is electric (storage and panel heaters) which can be costlier than gas; there is no gas connected to this flat. The long lease (999 years from 1988) and share-of-freehold ownership are positives, but the unspecified service charge means budgeting for running costs is advised.
