Picturesque Lake District guesthouse on the market

Since 1946, The Gables guesthouse welcomes thousands of visitors every year. It is immensely popular, located in the heart Ambleside village just a stone’s throw from the tourist-hotspot of the Lake District National Park. Visitors can reach the property by foot from central Ambleside in just two minutes.

This distinguished Victorian residence is located on the approach to Ambleside Parish Church containing seventeen comfortable en suite bedrooms overlooking the countryside and a bright and airy breakfast room. Included in the property is a separate three-bedroom manager's apartment with a spacious living room, bathroom and newly renovated kitchen accessible via the carpark and breakfast room.

The previous owner, Mr Panchadcharam Ponnuthurai, has decided to move on from the property to be closer to his family, he comments, "I was delighted when I took on The Gables guesthouse as I had found a great business and was delighted to welcome so many new and returning guests. The Gables continued to meet and exceed expectations due to fantastic, local staff. Since I bought the guesthouse, our family circumstances have changed and as I am now spending more time with family in other parts of the UK. I have been privileged to have met wonderful guests during my time here, and we do hope that the new owners will enjoy their time here as much as I have."

Graham Wilkinson, Business Agent - Hotels at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, comments, "The Gables guesthouse offers the new owner a superb opportunity to acquire a larger than average guesthouse in the very heart of the Lake District and in one of the most popular and desirable trading locations in the north of England. For a new owner this is an excellent, turn-key, lifestyle opportunity that benefits from strong occupancy rates and a great reputation."

The Gables guesthouse is on the market freehold for £1,395,000.
