Description

Located in the historic Conservation Area of Ambleside, this three-bedroom Grade II Listed end terrace cottage offers a unique opportunity for investors and renovators. Although it currently serves as a successful holiday let generating approximately £25,000 annually through Lakelovers, the property requires updates to maximize its potential. The charming interior features retain many original characteristics such as an open fire, beamed ceilings, and sash windows, providing a solid foundation for a thoughtful renovation. The accommodation spans two floors with cozy living spaces that include a snug with an electric fire and a dining room featuring a multi-fuel stove. The kitchen, though functional, could benefit from modern enhancements. On the first floor, old latch doors provide access to three bedrooms and two bathrooms that also present opportunities for improvement. While there is no designated parking space, convenient public parking is available nearby. This property not only promises character but also the chance to increase its value through renovations in one of the Lake District's most sought-after locations.
