This substantial freehold complex in Braithwaite offers a ready-made holiday letting business with thirteen bedrooms across a former farmhouse (1656), an annexe, six cottages and two apartments. Grouped around a central courtyard with on-site parking, the properties sit in the Lake District National Park, 2.5 miles from Keswick and close to Whinlatter Forest and popular fells — a strong visitor location year-round.
The portfolio benefits from mains water, electricity, gas and drainage, an on-site laundry, office and stores, and an established trading history which supports immediate income potential. The location, historic character and varied accommodation mix make it suitable for short-term holiday lets or a mixed residential/investment use, with a current rateable value of £22,500.
Buyers should note the material considerations: the buildings date from 1656 and will require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic refurbishment in places; broadband and mobile signal are average; and there is a medium flooding risk in the area. Running this as a profitable business will demand active management, marketing and operational oversight, or a specialist operator.
Offers are invited around £1,200,000 for the freehold. This opportunity suits investors or owner-operators seeking an established Lake District holiday business with scale and character, accepting the upkeep and operational responsibilities that come with historic rural property.
