Set within the private Cowan Head development, this first-floor three-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living with genuine leisure amenities on your doorstep. The open-plan living and dining room opens onto a covered balcony with long views towards Kentmere, making it easy to enjoy the surrounding countryside without leaving home. Internally there is a generous master bedroom with dressing area and ensuite, a well-equipped kitchen, and an extra large storage cupboard for bikes or golf clubs.
Residents benefit from direct internal access to the on-site leisure complex — indoor pool with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room — plus private riverbank fishing, a nine-hole practice golf course and secure electric gated entry. Two allocated undercover parking spaces and a lift to the first floor add to the convenience, while included fixtures such as carpets, curtains and selected TVs reduce immediate setup costs.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold (very long lease remaining, over 900 years) and the management company levies a service charge of £1,750 per quarter, which covers communal upkeep, leisure facilities and sinking fund contributions. Holiday letting is explicitly not permitted and council tax is band F (higher running costs). These factors suit buyers seeking a secure, community-oriented lock-up-and-leave home rather than an investment for holiday rental.
This property will strongly appeal to downsizers or those seeking a permanent base on the edge of the Lake District who value privacy, on-site facilities and straightforward maintenance. The setting across approximately 47 acres gives a countryside feel while being within easy reach of Kendal and Windermere.
