This bright, newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, a short walk from shops, cafes and the lakeshore. The open-plan living/kitchen has modern fitted units, Neff appliances and Karndean flooring with underfloor insulation — a low-maintenance base for everyday life or short-term rental. Glimpses of the Lakeland fells from the living room add a desirable scenic touch.
The property is offered as a long leasehold with 972 years remaining and practical communal benefits — off-street parking and shared gardens. Recent works include a full rewire, new hardwood fire doors, LED recessed lighting, and a new kitchen and bathroom, so the apartment is move-in ready and suitable as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, rental, or main residence.
Practical costs and local context are clear: the annual service charge is £2,170.88 (quarterly £542.72) and ground rent is £30 per year. The apartment is compact at about 546 sq ft, so it will suit buyers who prioritise location and convenience over large living spaces. Local crime statistics are higher than average for the area — worth considering if security is a primary concern.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance apartment in an affluent, amenity-rich village location within the Lake District National Park. It will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a central base, investors targeting holiday lets, or buyers wanting an easy-to-manage second home.
