Set above the garages in a tucked-away Grasmere location, Apartment 7 is a compact one-bedroom cottage-style home offering immediate rental potential or a quiet second‑home retreat. The open-plan first-floor living/kitchen benefits from natural light, wood-effect floors and attractive views over the communal gardens to the surrounding fells. A private parking space and communal laundry add practical convenience in this central village spot, all within a level walk of shops, cafés and footpaths.
This property is sold as a going concern with an established holiday-let history producing circa £19,000pa and included forward bookings and contents. The lease is secure (new 999-year term), while the monthly service charge of £287.17 covers gas, electricity, buildings insurance, external repairs and a contribution to the sinking fund — note drainage and business rates are not included. Pets and smoking are not permitted.
Important practical points: the apartment is small (approx. 322 sq ft) and sits in an ageing rural/communal retirement classification with a medium flood risk. Constructed from traditional stone with double glazing and gas central heating, it was formed from a Victorian building and later additions, so buyers should expect the character and limitations of an older, subdivided property. Broadband is strong for the area (circa 80 Mbps download).
