Set over two floors in the heart of Ambleside, this recently renovated one-bedroom freehold apartment combines contemporary finishes with a lucrative holiday-let history. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opens onto a private west-facing roof terrace with town and fell views — a standout feature for guests and buyers who value outdoor space and evening sun.
The upper bedroom is a roomy, vaulted-space retreat with fitted storage and a freestanding oval bathtub, giving the apartment a boutique, characterful feel. High-spec fittings, double glazing and fast 1,000 Mbps broadband create a comfortable, low-hassle living environment popular with short-term guests and professionals.
Currently operated as a successful 4* holiday let (gross income £39,500 in 2023) and sold with forward bookings and most contents available at a modest additional cost, the property is well suited to investors seeking immediate income. It will also appeal to buyers wanting a compact, high-quality town base with excellent connectivity and easy access to Ambleside’s shops, restaurants and walks.
Notable practical points: heating is electric with a boiler and radiators, which can mean higher running costs than gas; access involves external steps to the terrace and internal stairs between floors, so the layout may not suit limited mobility. Crime levels are average and council tax details are not provided; prospective buyers should check local rates and running costs before committing.
