Summary - ELLERBANK FLAT 1 COWAN HEAD KENDAL LA8 9HX
4 bed 4 bath Apartment
Spacious four-ensuite duplex on a private Lake District estate with leisure facilities.
Extremely large 3,074 sqft duplex apartment over two floors
This exceptionally large duplex apartment occupies a premier riverside position within a secure, gated 47-acre estate in the Lake District. Set over two floors, the home provides four double ensuite bedrooms, two substantial reception rooms with covered outdoor seating, and a well-equipped breakfast kitchen — ideal for families or owners who enjoy space and entertaining. The property includes two garage spaces and a private lockable storeroom for bikes and outdoor gear.
Residents benefit from high-spec communal amenities: an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, a 9‑hole golf course and private fishing on the River Kent. The estate is well maintained with gated security and landscaped grounds that open onto local footpaths and wider fell country. Windows were replaced in 2025 and the gas boiler was renewed in 2023.
Practical points to note: this is a long leasehold (965 years remaining) with an annual service charge of £1,343.75 and an annual reserve contribution of £450. Council Tax sits at band G and is therefore relatively costly. Broadband speeds are slow in this rural location and holiday letting is not permitted, which may affect second‑home rental income plans.
Overall, the apartment suits buyers seeking a large, high‑quality residence or tranquil second home with substantial communal leisure facilities, strong privacy and easy access to Kendal, Windermere and the M6. Factor in ongoing service charges, higher council tax and limited broadband when weighing running costs and use.
