With six beautifully presented en suite guest rooms, as well as self-contained three-bedroom owners’ accommodation, Scales Farm is presented in turnkey condition and attracts a high level of repeat trade.
Situated at the start of many of the major footpaths to Blencathra, one of the most popular of the Cumbrian Mountains, and on the C2C cycle route, the guest house is popular all year round particularly with walkers, climbers and adventurers.
The house is on the market as the owners, Ivan and Helen, have decided to step back from running the business after 13 years at the helm.
Ivan and Helen commented, “Scales Farm Country Guest House has been our home for the last 13 years, and during this time, we have been delighted to see the business grow from strength to strength. We have completely refurbished the property and built a strong and reliable business, based on new and returning guests, the fantastic location, the quality of the accommodation, generates the excellent reviews we receive. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at Scales Farm but now it is time for us to retire and to pass the business on to new owners.”
Graham Wilkinson, Agent at Christie & Co based in the Lake District, added, “Scales Farm Country Guest House is a great opportunity for a new owner looking for a well-established and well-presented guest house in the heart of the Lake District. The location makes it a popular choice for guests wanting to explore the great outdoors, either on foot or by bike. The current owners are also seeking to extend the planning permission to include holiday letting, to offer flexibility to a potential new owner to either continue with the existing business model of to develop the business further in the self-catering sector.”
The guest house is on the market with an asking price of £795,000 for the freehold.
