With a strong reputation among visitors, benefiting from excellent online reviews and a highly accessible location, the Victorian townhouse currently operates as a successful room-only guest house and includes seven en suite letting bedrooms, that can sleep up to 18, along with a one-bed owners' apartment.
Situated on a prominent corner position just moments from Windermere's vibrant centre, Cambridge House benefits from an exceptional trading location, within easy walking distance of bars, cafés, restaurants and transport links, including Windermere Railway Station.
The property is located in the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, creating strong year-round accommodation demand.
In addition to continuing as a guest house, the property has planning permission to operate as a single-unit holiday let, allowing purchasers to capitalise on the growing demand for exclusive-use accommodation in the Lake District. The consent also permits residential use as a permanent home, creating multiple ownership and investment options.
The current owners, who are a small family-run hospitality group, are refocusing on their London portfolio and have taken the decision to sell Cambridge House to concentrate their time and investment there.
They said, “Cambridge House has been a pleasure to own, and its guests have been remarkably loyal so the house deserves owners who can give it their full attention. Its position and planning flexibility make it a rare find in Windermere: a business, a holiday home or a family home, whichever the buyer chooses.”
Graham Wilkinson, Senior Business Agent – Hotels at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale process, commented, "Opportunities like Cambridge House are increasingly difficult to find. Its central Windermere location alone makes it an attractive acquisition, but the added benefit of planning consent to operate as either a guest house, a single-unit holiday let or even a private residence significantly broadens its appeal.
“Buyers have the flexibility to choose the model that best suits their ambitions, whether that's running a successful accommodation business, creating a luxury holiday rental, or establishing a home in the heart of the Lake District."
Cambridge House is on the market freehold with an asking price of offers over £695,000.
