Property description & features

  • 5 letting bedrooms (all en-suite)
  • 3 bedroomed owners accommodation (all en-suite)
  • Excellent prominent and central location
  • Private gardens and off road parking
Description: A beautifully presented detached guest house with versatile 8 bedroomed accommodation (currently letting 5 rooms but could be up to 7) with excellent owners accommodation, delightful rear gardens with feature pond, off road parking and all within a short level walk of what the thriving village of Windermere has to offer. The current owners ceased trading in 2022 and hope to sell and retire.

Planning permission was granted 19-05-2022 (planning reference: 7/2022/5230) for a ''change of use of guest house to self catering accommodation'' and whilst this change of use has not been enabled it is valid for thee years from the date of permission. 

Location: Located in a perfect trading location and only a few hundred yards level walk to the centre of the village with all the cafes, restaurants, bars and shops this increasingly popular tourist destination of Windermere has to offer.

Meadfoot Guest House is just set back slightly from New Road which is the main road down to Bowness On Windermere.

From the main one way system in Windermere follow Crescent Road through Ellerthwaite Square past Hackney and Leighs office onto New Road. Meadfoot Guest House is just past Birthwaite Road on the right approximately 300 yards past our office. 

Property Information: Meadfoot Guest House is a detached property set in the grounds of a former gentleman's residence now split into apartments and now called Engadine but was once called Meadfoot. Built in the 1970's originally a vets with owners accommodation it has been trading as a guest house since the mid 1980's.

The versatile accommodation is currently arranged with 5 letting en-suite bedrooms with 3 bedroomed owners accommodation but by simply locking and unlocking a couple of doors 2 of the owners bedrooms could (and are set up to) be additional letting bedrooms.

The property is in first rate order with Upvc double glazed windows, gas fired central heating and there have been significant improvements made since the present owners bought the property in 2011. The result is that the new owner can enjoy continued trading for many years to come without significant investment.

A particular delight is the residents dining room, currently being used as the owners sitting room, with its dual aspect and large sliding patio doors to balcony, all overlooking the well kept mainly lawned gardens with decking area and feature pond (unearthed in 2014 and would have been the pond to the neighbouring gentleman's residence.

Another very useful aspect of this property is the off road parking which is a rare commodity in central Windermere.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
