Summary - LAUREL BANK, PENRITH ROAD CA12 4LJ
6 bed 6 bath Guest House
Established B&B with parking, garage and Latrigg views in the Lake District.
Six-bedroom freehold guest house with five en-suite letting rooms
Set on Penrith Road in Keswick within the Lake District National Park, this substantial six-bedroom guest house offers an established, income-producing business or a large family home conversion. The property combines five en-suite letting rooms with spacious owners’ accommodation, triple-aspect master bedroom, and a large footprint including a garage, EV charging point and multiple off-street parking spaces.
The building retains Victorian character — bay windows, sash-style fenestration and decorative stonework — and enjoys elevated fells views, notably towards Latrigg. The layout is practical for continued B&B use: ground-floor dining and guest room, kitchen/dining linking to the owners’ living space, with well-presented letting rooms on the upper floors. Forward bookings and repeat custom are in place, easing an incoming operator’s transition.
Buyers should note this is a period property with maintenance and adaptation needs common to older buildings. Roof/attic areas and some elements may require inspection or further works; the description also references renovation potential. Energy performance is inconsistently recorded (Commercial EPC C and an internal note of EPC D), so future buyers may wish to review current certification and any improvement costs. Council Tax is Band A (very low).
This freehold offers flexibility: continue trading as a successful guest house, keep the property as a high-yield holiday let, or reconfigure into larger family accommodation or self-contained units subject to consents. Its large plot, strong parking provision and National Park setting make it particularly attractive to buyers seeking an operational hospitality business or a spacious home in a very affluent, low-crime town fringe location.
