Summary - Red Screes, Ellerigg Road LA22 9EU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal lock-up-and-leave home with private parking and fine fell views.
Long lease remaining (c.978 years) with £600 annual management fee
Set in the elevated grounds of Ellerthwaite House, this well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers light, airy accommodation and private access with off-street parking. The open-plan kitchen/diner flows into a spacious living room with dual aspects and attractive fell views across communal gardens and a gentle stream. A newly installed shower room (2024) and recent renovations mean the flat is largely move-in ready.
The property sits within the Lake District National Park and is conveniently placed for Ambleside amenities and direct access to popular walks such as Sweden Bridge and Fairfield. Its long lease (remaining c.978 years) and modest management fee of £600 per year provide tenure security for use as a main home or second residence. Pets are permitted but holiday letting is expressly prohibited.
Practical considerations: the home uses mains gas central heating with a Vaillant combi boiler and double glazing fitted post-2002. Broadband at the property is reported slow, and the granite external walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect heating costs and comfort in colder months. The site has a medium flood risk — buyers should seek specialist advice if this is a concern.
Overall this apartment will suit a buyer seeking a compact, comfortable Lakeland base with strong walking access and attractive communal grounds. It is also suitable for those wanting a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave second home, provided they do not require holiday-let income.
