Bright top-floor apartment in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, presented in good order and offering superb views across the Lakeland fells. The living/dining room and kitchen both face the scenery, making this a cheerful and easy-to-manage base for weekend stays or full-time living. Two double bedrooms and a practical bathroom complete the accommodation within a compact 517 sq ft layout.
Practical running costs are straightforward: long lease (around 969 years remaining), modest annual ground rent (£30) and a below-average service charge (£570 quarterly) that covers building insurance and external maintenance. Heating is electric storage heaters and the property has double glazing throughout — suitable for buyers wanting a low-commitment second home or an investment holiday-let in the Lake District National Park.
Location is a standout: central Bowness, a short stroll from shops, pubs, restaurants, transport links and the shores of Lake Windermere. Communal off-street parking and gardens serve the block, and the apartment’s top-floor position maximises far-reaching fell views. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent for connectivity.
Buyers should note a few material points: the apartment is small (approx. 517 sq ft) and layout is compact; heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating. The area records higher crime levels than average, which some purchasers may wish to investigate. Business rates are indicated on the listing — prospective buyers should confirm the current liability and amounts with the local authority.
Overall this is a tidy, well-located property that suits a first home, downsizer, second home or holiday-let purchaser who prioritises location and views over generous internal space and who is comfortable with electric heating and communal living arrangements.
