14a Southey Street,KESWICK,CA12 4EF
CA12 4EF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Proven holiday-let in the Lake District — cash buyers or specialist lenders preferred.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with period features and high ceilings
A self-contained, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment tucked on a quiet side street in Keswick town centre. The property sits within the Lake District National Park and has a proven track record as a successful holiday-let, making it attractive for short-stay income or a lock-up-and-leave base for local breaks.
The flat retains period character: a bay-windowed bedroom, feature fireplace in the living room and high ceilings typical of the Victorian terrace. Practical features include a fitted kitchen, gas central heating to radiators and a shared, self-contained rear yard with pedestrian access and seating.
Buyers should note a material constraint: there are 59 years remaining on the lease. This is likely to restrict mainstream mortgage availability and many lenders may refuse to lend. The property will therefore suit a cash buyer, a specialist leasehold lender, or an investor already comfortable operating holiday lets with alternative financing.
Other positives include very low local crime, an affluent area within a small-town location, excellent mobile signal and easy walking access to Keswick shops, cafés and attractions. Broadband is average and the apartment is compact at about 589 sq ft – comfortable for a couple or single-occupier, and configured for short-term holiday occupancy.
