Set in about 1.6 acres within the Lake District National Park, this period country house has been run successfully as a nine-bedroom B&B with exclusive private-hire bookings. The property was extensively remodelled around 2015 and presents as a turnkey hospitality business with nine ensuite rooms, an open-plan restaurant/bar/sitting area and generous outdoor terraces and parking.
The accommodation combines character features with recent upgrades: new oak internal joinery, PVC windows, modern floor coverings, furnishings and commercial fittings. Many rooms and the balcony enjoy wide rural views across the Lyth Valley. The current layout suits continued hotel operation or conversion back to a large private residence, subject to planning and licences.
This is a clear investment opportunity with immediate income potential — the property is currently trading and has been marketed for bookings. Additional development or expansion is possible but would require the necessary consents. Buyers should note the hamlet setting means a remoter location: mobile signal is average and services are more limited than urban areas.
Practical points: the freehold includes around 1.58 acres with gardens, terraces, private parking and a hot tub. The site is within a national park, so any alterations, extensions or change of use will need approvals. Operating a hospitality business will carry ongoing management, staffing and regulatory responsibilities; council tax/operational costs are described as very expensive.
