Set within 47 acres of landscaped grounds, this exceptionally spacious second-floor apartment offers generous single-level living and far-reaching riverside views. Light-filled reception rooms open to two covered balconies overlooking the rockpool, river, golf course and Kentmere fells — ideal for relaxed family life or regular hosting. The principal suite is hotel-style, with a large refitted ensuite; two further doubles each have contemporary shower rooms, all upgraded in recent years.
Residents enjoy exclusive estate amenities: internal access to an indoor pool, spa, sauna, steam room and a private nine-hole golf course, plus maintained gardens, secure gated entry and fishing rights on the River Kent. Practical features include remote boiler control, Cat5 cabling to main rooms and two private parking spaces beneath the building with a lockable storage room.
Important practical points: the property sits within a long lease (965 years remaining) and the management company holds the freehold. Annual service charge (£5,375) and an additional sinking fund contribution (£1,800) cover comprehensive communal services and leisure facilities. Council Tax band G and current broadband is limited, although a full-fibre B4RN rollout is scheduled for the estate.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, high-amenity rural base with excellent accessibility to the A591 and local towns. Note that holiday letting is restricted across the development and mobile indoor signal is limited for some networks — sensible considerations for those planning frequent remote working or short-term lets.
