Compact period cottage ideal for holiday lets or rental income in central Windermere.
Three bedrooms and three bathrooms over three floors
This traditional Lakeland stone cottage occupies a central Windermere location and is arranged over three floors, offering an efficient three-bedroom layout well suited to short‑term holiday lets or long‑term rental. Accommodation includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, two shower rooms and a family bathroom, plus gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. The principal reception features a wood‑burning stove and slate hearth, adding authentic character that guests and tenants value.
The lower‑ground sitting room opens onto a small enclosed patio, providing a private outdoor space despite the compact plot. Practical benefits include integrated kitchen appliances, ultrafast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime — all positive for holiday‑letting and tenant demand. Freehold tenure and the property’s 1,003 sq ft internal area give good usable space for its footprint.
Buyers should note the property’s limitations: the plot is very small, external space is limited to a rear patio, and parking is on‑street only (residents’ permit required). The house is multi‑level with small room sizes typical of period terraces, which may challenge some families or mobility‑restricted occupants. The wider area is classified as having a higher proportion of renters and transitional Eastern European neighbourhood characteristics, which affects local market dynamics.
Overall, 17 Havelock Road offers a ready‑to‑operate holiday let or a compact family home with character features and modern conveniences. Investors will appreciate the location in the Lake District National Park and strong tourism demand, while owner‑occupiers gain a comfortably presented period cottage in a well‑served small‑town centre. Material drawbacks are clear and straightforward: limited private outdoor space, on‑street parking only, and the multi‑storey plan.
