Description

Afton is a detached property located just minutes away from the bustling centre of Ambleside, nestled in the scenic Lake District. Currently configured as two spacious holiday let apartments, each accommodating two guests, the property enjoys strong rental demand throughout the year thanks to its prime location. The property features a maintenance-friendly garden, ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, and a double garage, making it an attractive investment opportunity. The charm of Ambleside lies within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lake District National Park, with enviable road and rail links providing easy access to major cities and attractions. This area consistently sees high occupancy rates for holiday lettings due to its popularity among tourists. Internally, Afton comprises two well-appointed self-contained units: on the ground floor, you'll find a hallway leading to a fitted kitchen equipped with modern appliances, a bright lounge/dining area with a fireplace, a comfortable bedroom with direct garden access, and an en-suite bathroom. The first-floor apartment similarly features a kitchen and spacious lounge with picturesque views along with a large bedroom and bathroom. Externally, the low-maintenance garden surrounds provides relaxation areas enhanced by artificial lawns for easy upkeep. The current operation as dual holiday lets presents significant income potential; solar panels provide additional earnings while allowing for further enhancement by reverting back to a single four-bedroom family home or exploring conversion possibilities in the loft space (subject to planning permissions). With recent upgrades including a new central heating system installed in April 2025, this property not only offers immediate returns but also multiple paths for future development.
