Summary - 12 STARNTHWAITE GHYLL CROSTHWAITE KENDAL LA8 8JN
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious classic two-bed in converted mill with high ceilings and riverside communal gardens.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with panoramic fell views
A bright, top-floor two-bedroom apartment set within a converted Victorian mill on the Gilpin, offering wide fell views and easy access to Kendal and Windermere (about 15 minutes’ drive). The large lounge/dining room has high ceilings and a woodburner, creating a warm social hub, while the well‑finished kitchen with wooden worktops complements the generous room sizes and light-filled rooms.
The property sits in well-kept communal grounds with the river running by and plenty of off‑street parking — ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance outdoor space and countryside walks from the door. Accommodation includes two double bedrooms (one with en‑suite) and a separate bathroom; total internal area is generous at c. 1,173 sq ft, giving space for visiting family or a home office.
Practical points to note: the apartment is leasehold (very long lease remaining) with an average service charge of £1,600 pa and council tax above typical levels. The EPC is rated E and the building’s original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating is mainly electric via boiler and radiators — worth considering for energy costs. There is also a medium flood risk and private drainage on site.
For buyers looking to downsize without giving up space or character, this apartment offers a rare combination of period features, high ceilings, communal gardens and Lake District location. It suits those prioritising setting, light and walkability over a new-build energy specification.
