Set along the River Kent within a private 47-acre estate, 2 Artlecrag is a charming two-bedroom townhouse with direct riverside views and an enclosed rear terrace. The home offers open-plan living with a log-burning stove, two double bedrooms (one en suite) and two bathrooms, arranged over two floors — an appealing layout for a main home or a rural second base.
The development brings substantial on-site amenities: a nine-hole practice golf course, indoor pool with jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and private fishing rights. Two allocated parking spaces (one undercover) and the installation of B4RN fibre add practical convenience for day-to-day living. The lease is long (965 years remaining), and the setting is peaceful with low local crime and good access to Kendal and Windermere.
Practical considerations are clear: the property requires updating and modernisation throughout — it is sold as a refurbishment project. Annual service charges are significant (£5,375 plus a £1,800 reserve contribution) and there is an express restriction preventing holiday letting. Council Tax sits at band E. Buyers should budget for renovation costs and ongoing estate charges when assessing value.
For a purchaser seeking riverside character within secure, landscaped grounds, this house offers immediate charm and clear scope to personalise. It will suit someone who values on-site leisure facilities and rural tranquillity, and who is prepared to invest in modernising a compact, well-situated home in the Lake District.
