About St Giles

Formerly the stables to the local gunpowder works, St Giles is a beautiful 3 bedroom property located in the sought-after village of Elterwater. This area benefits from a host of local amenities, including the popular Britannia Inn, the Langdale Estate Country Club and Leisure Centre, and the Co-Operative village store located half a mile away in Chapel Stile. For additional amenities, Ambleside is only a few miles away and easily accessible by car, bus or on bike.

Property Overview

St Giles is set across three levels. At ground level there is a good size garage with scope for conversion to additional living space subject to all necessary consents and approvals. Next to the garage are some steps leading to a large patio and the front door.

The main entrance leads to a hallway with an open plan kitchen living space to the right and two bedrooms and a shower room to the left. Stairs from the hallway lead up to an additional large bathroom and the third double bedroom. 

Outside there is an elevated patio with views across the village bowling green and beyond. 

Kitchen / Living Room

The living room benefits from high ceilings, exposed beams, an open fire, deep window sills and dual aspect views across the village bowling green.

The kitchen was recently replaced to incorporate new appliances including an integrated dishwasher and a washer dryer which is sold with the property.

Bedrooms

There are two bedrooms on the first floor. The first of these rooms benefits from large built in cupboards and is currently furnished with a king size bed. The second has two single beds with space at the end for storage. 

Upstairs there is a further bedroom featuring a king size bed and dual aspect windows.

Bathrooms

Both bathrooms were fully renovated last year and the water pressure was improved with the installation of a new hot water cylinder. 

The downstairs bathroom was upgraded with a large walk-in shower with controls at the entrance rather than under the shower head. There is also a large vanity sink unit for storage and heated towel rail. 

The upstairs bathroom features a large bath with glazed shower screen and shower overhead. Again there is a large sink vanity and heated towel rail along with additional storage.

Outside Space

St Giles benefits from a private elevated paved patio, which is surrounded by a variety of established trees, shrubs and bushes. There is also a small, lawned area at the rear of the property. 

There is "boiler" room at the rear of the property (accessed externally) which houses the now redundant oil boiler and tank (recently upgraded to a more economical air source heating system which benefits from a 7 year warranty). Now it is no longer need for oil storage, this room presents additional opportunities for conversion (STPP). 

St Giles owns the private drive outside the property which is accessed via the white gate and used by neighbouring properties for both vehicular and pedestrian access. There is parking for one car outside the main entrance door and additional parking both in and in front of the garage. 

The garage itself has electricity supply, and could be converted to a wonderful kitchen/utility/dining room with stairs up to the main living area above subject to obtaining all necessary consents.

St Giles is a successful holiday let with gross annual income in excess of £50k. Gross yield for 2024 will be circa 6.5%. Further details regarding income, future bookings, property management and income are available on request. It is sold furnished or unfurnished.
