Part of a former hunting lodge, in the quiet Watermillock area of the Ullswater Valley in the Lake District National Park, a great opportunity to acquire a well presented, 2 bed, maisonette apartment with open views over Ullswater to Barton Fell & High Street. Set in spacious, maintained grounds.

Originally converted from the former hunting lodge and Lake District retreat of the Duke of Norfolk, Wreay Mansions occupies a commanding elevated position above Lake Ullswater, offering breathtaking, uninterrupted vistas across the lake and surrounding fells.

Nestled within tranquil, well maintained grounds, the property combines peaceful seclusion with convenient access to Penrith and the M6, making it a perfect retreat or, with no occupation restrictions, a distinguished permanent home.

Offered to the market with no ongoing chain and available with the majority of contents by negotiation, the property has most recently operated successfully as a holiday rental when not being used by our clients.

During a reduced season from Easter to October, it generates a gross income of approximately £12,000, offering potential for both lifestyle enjoyment and investment.

Forming the upper two floors of this historic building, the accommodation is both charming and practical. The entrance hall and downstairs bathroom lead into the main hallway and landing, while the living room commands the front-facing views and features a Morsø multifuel stove and built-in storage, creating a warm and inviting space, with the adjacent kitchen dining room being fully fitted and equipped.

A return staircase ascends to the upper landing, which benefits from additional built-in storage and leads to two double bedrooms, the second of which enjoys a walk-in store cupboard, combining comfort with clever practicality.

Externally, the property includes an allocated parking space to the rear, with a second space in the lower-level car park.

Always highly sought after, viewing is essential to fully appreciate the unique character, elevated position, and exceptional lifestyle offered by this remarkable Lake District residence.
