Turnkey 9-bed hotel in the Lake District with immediate income potential.
Freehold period country house set in c.1.58 acres
A substantial period country house set in c.1.58 acres in the Lyth Valley, presented as a turnkey 9-bedroom hotel with strong rural character. Extensively remodelled around 2015, the property benefits from new oak internal joinery, new windows, refreshed decor and commercial fittings, so a new owner can continue trading with minimal upfront refurbishment. Nine individually styled ensuite bedrooms, an open-plan restaurant/bar/sitting area with bi-folding doors and balcony access, private parking, terraces and a guest hot tub deliver immediate hospitality capability.
The site sits inside the Lake District National Park, offering panoramic rural views and a sheltered micro-climate. Current operation is a B&B with exclusive private-hire options and is let via a local booking company; annual income is cited in the region of £350,000–£500,000 (prospective buyers should verify trading accounts). The flexible layout also allows conversion back to a large private home or alternative residential uses, subject to planning and listed/notified consents.
Buyers should note material constraints: the location is a hamlet/isolated dwelling which limits passing trade and requires reliable transport access, mobile signal is average, and council tax/charges are described as very expensive. Any development or change of use will require consent from planning authorities within the national park. Overall this is a rare freehold hospitality opportunity in a protected countryside setting, suited to investors or lifestyle purchasers prepared for rural operation and regulatory oversight.
