Ground-floor elegance meets lakeside living in this spacious three-double-bedroom apartment on the shore of Lake Windermere. Set within a converted Victorian building (circa 1880) the apartment combines period proportions — high ceilings, tall sash windows and a large bay lounge — with a contemporary fitted dining kitchen and generous room sizes across approximately 1,771 sq ft. South-facing windows and a private garden deliver exceptional light and direct views over the lake and surrounding fells.
Outside, residents enjoy around 75m of shared lake frontage, private and communal gardens, allocated and visitor parking, plus communal canoe/boat storage — ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding or wild swimming. The apartment has its own private garden area and direct access to attractive communal grounds that slope down to the water. The location is rural and peaceful, with a short ferry crossing to Bowness-on-Windermere and easy access to local walks, Hawkshead and Ambleside.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with approximately 980 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,719.58 and Council Tax Band E. Heating is via a communal LPG supply with an on-site boiler room; the development uses private borehole water and a septic discharge system. Broadband is provided on the Openreach network (reported availability of superfast, though measured speeds may be limited locally). There is no flooding risk recorded for the site.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a substantial, characterful lakeside home — families, downsizers or those wanting an elegant second home — who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the management arrangements that come with communal grounds. The occupancy clause prohibits holiday letting, supporting a settled community rather than short-term rentals.
