A ‘delightful’ Victorian property in the Lake District has joined the market.

Number One Park Road is an ‘elegant’ guest house with a ‘fantastic’ trading position at the heart of Windermere.

Originally built in 1883 as a gentleman's residence, this ‘traditional’ Lakeland property is made of local stone and features a pitched slate roof.

Accommodation stretches out over four levels, with a lower ground floor, ground floor and two upper floors.

The listing says the current owners have heavily invested in refreshing the property since acquiring the property in 2019.

“Having enjoyed their years at 1 Park Road, the owners are now to retire and to concentrate on other interests.”

Park Road is located at a gateway to an array of local tourist attractions, including historic landmarks like Wray Castle, adventure opportunities for hiking, cycling, and water sports as well as a number of cafes, restaurants and more.

Boasting a period Victorian portico, the vestibule and reception hall feature original Victorian Minton tiles.

The guest house boasts six ‘stylish’ ensuite letting bedrooms, made up of five double rooms, two of which offer king size beds, and one family room.

Each of these individually designed rooms is described as spacious, contemporary, superbly appointed and furnished to an exceptionally high standard.

The kitchen offers an ‘attractive and comprehensive’ range of fitted units as well as a Range Master cooker, pantry and storage area.
