Description

Nestled on an elevated plot of approximately 0.35 acres, this property offers an exceptional canvas for further investment in one of the Lake District's prime locations. Originally part of a larger residence, 3 Wansfell Holme has transitioned into a separate entity, boasting its own private garden and spectacular views over Lake Windermere and Loughrigg Fell. The existing home spans about 1730 square feet and features two reception rooms, a kitchen, three double bedrooms, and a modern bathroom, providing ample space for potential enhancements. While much of the property has already undergone significant renovation—including updates to the roof, electrics, plumbing, and landscaping—the current layout allows for further customization that could enhance living spaces or accommodate additional features like outdoor entertaining areas or improved storage solutions. With its historical significance dating back to 1830 and connections to literary figures like William Wordsworth, this property presents not merely a home but an opportunity to own a piece of local heritage. The surrounding area is ripe for exploration with easy access to hiking trails and water activities at nearby marinas. This investment stands out due to its picturesque setting alongside England’s largest lake and proximity to community amenities in Waterhead and Ambleside. With further thoughtful renovations, this residence has the potential not only to be a comfortable family home but also an attractive rental or holiday let given its idyllic location.
