Set on the fringe of a village within the Lake District National Park, this imposing double-fronted Edwardian guest house combines period charm with proven trading performance. The property offers seven individually styled en suite letting bedrooms, a newly created guest lounge and a separate one-bedroom owner’s apartment — a straightforward operational layout for an established B&B business.
The site benefits from very large landscaped gardens and paddock with panoramic views across to Skiddaw and Latrigg, plus private driveway access. Freehold tenure, a strong net turnover of £148,322 and reported solid profits from B&B trading make this an appealing purchase for an investor or operator seeking an income-generating country house with immediate trading potential.
Buyers should note practical constraints: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which can affect guest expectations and digital bookings; the property is a period building (built 1907) and will retain the maintenance considerations typical of older stone-built houses. It sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood with rural white-collar demographics and an affluent wider area profile.
Overall this is a rare Lake District opportunity where location, size and trading history combine. It will particularly suit an investor or experienced guest-house operator who values large outdoor space, strong views and an established B&B income, and who is comfortable managing a period property’s ongoing care and service-level expectations.
