Description

Opportunity to purchase a recently renovated self-contained first floor two bedroom apartment created from a former Bobbin Mill in the popular village of Staveley located within the Lake District National Park. The apartment enjoys delightful views from the front towards the Kentmere Fells, overlooking the River Gowan to the rear and has private parking and a private garden area looking over the river.

The whole development was purchased in 2020 and fully refurbished in 2022. Upgraded to a beautiful and high specification and includes a new grey kitchen with stone worktops, modern three piece shower room, electric radiators, solid oak doors and double glazed windows throughout. The apartments have no restrictions and can be used for permanent homes, second homes, holiday lets or long- term letting.

The property has recently started operating as a holiday letting property and is expected to generate between £25,000 to £30,000 annually. Currently let with Let Me Stay under the name ‘The Bobbin’ and is being sold as a going concern with all forward bookings. Furnishings available by separate negotiation. However the property would be equally suitable as a ideal retirement property or lock up and leave second home.
