Description

Located in a prime trading position in the heart of the popular tourist village of Windermere, just a moments' walk from a great selection of bars, cafes, restaurants and all the village amenities, Cambridge House is a well-established and popular guest house welcoming both domestic and international guests. It also benefits from being only five minutes' walk from Windermere Railway Station.

Situated on a prominent corner position just off Windermere's main thoroughfare, Cambridge House is a semi-detached Victorian townhouse that currently trades on a room only basis and offers one bedroom owners' accommodation.

Hybrid planning consent allows the business to be operated in its existing form as a guest house but also allows for it to be utilised as a sole use holiday let or permanent residence.
