Set within a traditional stone conversion close to the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers compact, low-maintenance living with easy access to shops, cafés and Lake Windermere. The open-plan living/kitchen maximises the modest footprint and benefits from dual aspect light, an oak fitted kitchenette and an electric focal-point fire. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and a large picture window. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing provide year-round comfort.
Practical day-to-day living is supported by allocated off-street parking in a private courtyard and an outbuilding housing the boiler. The long lease (999 years from 2004; c.978 years remaining) and chain-free sale simplify purchase logistics, making this a straightforward option for a downsizer, second-home buyer or couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave base in the Lake District National Park.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (c.437 sq ft) and comes with an annual management charge of about £1,200 covering building insurance, communal energy and garden maintenance. Broadband was recorded as slow, and the wider area shows a higher-than-average local crime statistic — both practical factors to consider for full-time residents. The property’s scale and layout give clear potential for light updating if a more contemporary finish is preferred.
