Cumbrian guest house sold for the first time in 30 years
Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has announced the sale of Norwood House, a well-known family-run guest house in Ambleside, Cumbria.
Business. Built around You.
Situated on Church Street in the centre of the village, Norwood House is home to eight en suite bedrooms as well as a guest dining room, lounge and kitchen, plus a two-bedroom apartment historically used as owners’ accommodation.
The sale marks the retirement of long-standing owners Keith and Wendy Morgan who have run the guest house since 1996 and enjoyed many years welcoming guests to the Lake District.
Having searched for two years to find the right buyer for Norwood House, Keith and Wendy instructed Graham Wilkinson at Christie & Co earlier this year, one of the few local agents based in the Lake District, to market the property. A sale has now completed, allowing them to step back and retire, and the new owners are excited to begin a new chapter for Norwood House.
Keith and Wendy Morgan commented, “We are delighted to have worked with Graham Wilkinson at Christie & Co to find a suitable purchaser for Norwood House. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ambleside and welcoming guests to Norwood House. We now look forward to our retirement and new adventures.”
Graham Wilkinson, Business Agent based in Cumbria for Christie & Co, added, “Our targeted approach to the marketing of this guest house enabled us to reach the right audience and quickly find a new owner for Norwood House. It has been a pleasure to work with Wendy and Keith, and I wish them the very best in their retirement.”
The sale was supported by local solicitors, with Stuart Bailey of Thompson Hayton Winkley acting for the sellers and Terri Abbot of Harrison Drury acting for the buyers.
Norwood House was marketed with an asking price of £740,000 and sold for an undisclosed price.
