A distinctive duplex conversion in the Lake District, this one-bedroom cottage combines period character with contemporary fittings. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and stonework create a striking living space; two balconies deliver elevated rooftop views towards Lake Windermere, adding clear holiday-let appeal.
Internally the accommodation is well thought-through for a one-bedroom property. The ground-floor bedroom is exceptionally large with built-in wardrobes and a relaxation zone; the first-floor open-plan living room includes a defined kitchen, breakfast bar and useful utility/cloakroom. The replacement shower room is modern and benefits from underfloor heating.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing, freehold tenure and an allocated off-street parking space. Superfast broadband is available, and there is no flooding risk. Downsides to note: the plot and any external space are very small, the property footprint suits a single occupant or couple only, and local crime levels are reported as high — important for both permanent residents and short-let operators.
This property currently operates successfully as a holiday let, making it attractive to investors seeking an established income stream or purchasers wanting a lock-up-and-leave retreat close to shops, transport and Lake Windermere. The conversion’s size and layout offer potential for continuing short-term rental use or comfortable full-time occupation, but buyers should factor in the town-fringe location and limited outdoor space when considering long-term plans.
