Summary - 20 Princes Street LA12 7NB
5 bed 5 bath Terraced
Spacious historic home with huge garden and studio potential for a growing family.
Grade II late Georgian townhouse with extensive original period detailing
A rare Grade II late-Georgian townhouse, 20 Princes Street offers grand period rooms, high ceilings and expansive light-filled spaces across four floors. The house retains fine original detail — cornicing, sash windows, marble fireplaces and a cantilever staircase — and provides immediate accommodation with five double bedrooms and five bath/showers.
The property sits on a very large plot with a secluded walled garden, former stable block with garage and first-floor studio, and gated courtyard parking. There is clear scope to enhance the house and garden: a lower garden section may suit a garden room, studio or infill development subject to necessary planning consents.
Buyers should note this is a listed building and in need of further renovation; listed status will complicate alterations and increase costs. Half of the outbuilding/garage is owned by the neighbour, and council tax is high. The area records higher local crime levels despite being in a very affluent town.
For a family seeking a long-term, characterful home close to Ulverston’s amenities and the Lake District, this is a rare custodianship opportunity. With careful restoration and the right consents, the house could be returned to its former grandeur and adapted for contemporary family living.
