Summary - Flat 2 West Tweenways, Wansfell Road LA22 0EG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ready-to-use holiday or lock-up-and-leave apartment near town centre and fells.
Ground-floor one-bedroom with open-plan living and exposed timber beam
A compact, well-presented ground-floor apartment tucked into a handsome Lakeland stone building, just a short stroll from the centre of Ambleside. The property offers an immaculate open-plan living/kitchen with exposed timber beam, a neatly fitted contemporary kitchen, useful walk-in pantry and a bright double bedroom with fitted mirrored wardrobes and en-suite shower room. Superb fell views and fast broadband make it ready to use as a weekend retreat or short-term holiday let.
Practical running costs are unusually low: a nominal ground rent of £5 pa and a modest service charge of £30 (2024). The apartment benefits from gas central heating to radiators, double glazing, under-floor heating in the en-suite, and a cellar for additional storage or meter access. Two shared off-road parking spaces and a small communal garden complete the picture for a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle.
Notable points to consider: the apartment is small (c.402 sq ft) and best suited to single occupancy, couples, or as a holiday/investment purchase rather than a family home. Parking is shared between the three flats and only two spaces are provided on the private lane. The property is sold leasehold (residual 999-year lease from 1985) and the lease prohibits pets that may cause a nuisance. Access to the cellar is shared and contains utility meters, with associated rights of access.
In summary, this is a low-maintenance, characterful base in a prime Lake District location — ideal for an investor seeking holiday-let potential or a buyer after a ready-to-use weekend retreat with strong local demand.
