Set on the first floor of the Quarry Rigg development in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, this compact two-bedroom apartment offers direct lake views and immediate access to shops, cafés and restaurants. The open-plan living/dining room receives good natural light from a large UPVC window framing Windermere and Claife Heights — a clear draw for holiday visitors or short-term renters.
The apartment is presented in neutral tones with practical UPVC double glazing and replacement electric radiators, giving low-maintenance living. Two double bedrooms and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances make the layout efficient for couples or holiday guests. Residents’ parking to the rear adds convenience in this busy town centre location.
Notable costs and constraints are factual: the property is leasehold with a long residual term (969 years), an annual management/service charge of circa £2,280 and a small ground rent of £16. Heating is electric radiators rather than gas, and the overall internal size is modest at around 467 sq ft — important for buyers prioritising space.
For investors and holiday-home buyers the lake outlook and central location provide strong rental appeal in season. For owner-occupiers, the apartment works well as a low-upkeep pied-à-terre, but those seeking larger living areas, private outdoor space or gas central heating should note the compact footprint and electric heating. The area records higher local crime levels, which may affect insurance and tenant screening considerations.
