Description

This property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a significant renovation project in the picturesque setting of Lake Windermere. Nestled within a substantial 2.14-acre plot, the current dwelling is in need of considerable refurbishment, offering the potential for extension or complete redevelopment to create your ideal home (subject to planning permissions). The location boasts stunning views across Lake Windermere and is strategically situated between Bowness on Windermere and Newby Bridge, providing convenient access to local attractions and amenities. The existing structure spans over 2100 sq ft and consists of four reception rooms, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. There's an undercroft featuring additional rooms that could be transformed into a self-contained annex or integrated into the main living space. While the interior requires modernisation, the layout offers great flexibility for redesigning to suit contemporary living standards. Outside, the gardens are currently overgrown but possess excellent landscaping potential that could enhance the property's appeal, particularly with its enviable views. The property benefits from mains electricity and water supply, along with oil-fired central heating. This is an exciting chance for a buyer with vision to revitalise this space into a dream Lakeland residence.
