Set within the Lake District National Park on the lower slopes of Wansfell Pike, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment combines Lakeland stone and slate with contemporary fittings for a low-maintenance home. The open-plan living area is bright with large windows and an oak floor; the kitchen has integrated appliances and useful storage. The property includes a private courtyard, one allocated parking space and communal grounds, plus most contents included — ready for immediate occupation or letting.
Heating is modern and energy-efficient, with an air-source heat pump and underfloor heating, and ultrafast broadband is available — useful for second-home management or holiday rental bookings. The long lease (original 999 years from 2011, c.986 years remaining) provides secure tenure for buyers. Its location is a short walk to Ambleside, Waterhead and local walks straight from the doorstep, appealing to downsizers, holiday buyers or investors seeking a Lake District base.
Practical points to note: the apartment is compact at about 604 sq ft with a single bathroom, and access to the private courtyard is via one of the bedrooms. Annual service charges apply (average c.£3,286) and council tax is Band D. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the property sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood classification, which may affect some buyers’ insurance and resale considerations.
Overall this is an attractively presented, low-maintenance apartment in a sought-after Ambleside position. It suits purchasers wanting a turnkey second home, a holiday-let opportunity or a comfortable, manageable main residence close to the fells.
