Description: A beautifully presented detached guest house with versatile 8 bedroomed accommodation (currently letting 5 rooms but could be up to 7) with excellent owners accommodation, delightful rear gardens with feature pond, off road parking and all within a short level walk of what the thriving village of Windermere has to offer.

Property Information: Meadfoot Guest House is a detached property set in the grounds of a former gentleman's residence now split into apartments and now called Engadine but was once called Meadfoot. Built in the 1970's originally a vets with owners accommodation it has been trading as a guest house since the mid 1980's.

The versatile accommodation is currently arranged with 5 letting en-suite bedrooms with 3 bedroomed owners accommodation but by simply locking and unlocking a couple of doors 2 of the owners bedrooms could (and are set up to) be additional letting bedrooms.

The property is in first rate order with Upvc double glazed windows, gas fired central heating and there have been significant improvements made since the present owners bought the property in 2011. The result is that the new owner can enjoy continued trading for many years to come without significant investment.

A particular delight is the residents dining room, currently being used as the owners sitting room, with its dual aspect and large sliding patio doors to balcony, all overlooking the well kept mainly lawned gardens with decking area and feature pond (unearthed in 2014 and would have been the pond to the neighbouring gentleman's residence.

Another very useful aspect of this property is the off road parking which is a rare commodity in central Windermere.
