Description

Description: Discover a unique opportunity with this charming Victorian property perfectly positioned in the picturesque village of Bowness on Windermere. Currently arranged as a 6 bedroomed guest house but with planning permission to either be a guest house, holiday let house or main residence.  

Location: To find the property continue from Windermere towards Bowness on Lake Road passing the Craig Manor Hotel and Beresford Road is soon after on the left with Beresford's Restaurant on the corner. Beechwood can be found on the left hand side on the corner of the turn in to South Craig.  

Property Information: Beechwood Guest House is currently a 6 letting bedroomed Guest House with an interconnected owners house to the rear. This is the current arrangement but on the 6th December 2023 planning permission was granted to divide into 2 separate units, Beechwood (Unit 'B') to the front and Barton House (Unit 'A') to the rear/side.

Beechwood is the front 'guest house' part and can be:

a) A guest house
b) Short term holiday letting
c) Main residence (occupied continuously for a minimum period of 6 months in every 12 month period).

Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the property. The guest house boasts a series of well-appointed rooms, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and relaxation for guests.

The ground floor boasts three versatile reception rooms, each filled with natural light and offering a range of possibilities to suit your lifestyle with 2 currently being used as living areas and the other being a spacious dining room perfect for hosting breakfast gatherings. The ground floor also features a convenient shower room before venturing downstairs to the expansive cellar, offering ample storage space. It is perfect for housing all your seasonal decorations, sports equipment, or even a burgeoning wine collection. The cellar provides a practical solution to keep your home clutter-free, ensuring that everything has its place.

Moving up to the first and second floor, there is convenient storage space plus 6 inviting bedrooms each offering their own views of the local village and surrounding fells, ample space for relaxation and 5 bedrooms being ensuite. Outside is ample parking for several cars.

A full copy of the planning permission can be viewed on request or alternatively searched on the Lake District National Park Authority website planning section with reference 7/2023/5639. The owners have undertaken some of the work required for the two separate units and intend to finish this prior to the change in ownership.

The adjoining property of Barton House is also available for £485,000 and has planning permission to be a holiday let or main residence.
