Description What a charming, cosy, inviting, private and manageable bijou place! Perfect for the down-sizer/retiree, those seeking a bolthole or perhaps an investor or young couple/single person. Tower House is a period property converted into flats in 1964, located close to the medieval Priory Gatehouse and associated with the Priory's ancient buildings. Flat 2 was formerly the service quarters many years ago and echos of the past are subtly displayed and celebrated. The game hooks remain in the ceiling of the Living Room and the inglenook fireplace (not in use) is simply a joy.

The Shared Entrance at the rear opens in to the Shared Vestibule with private door to the Open-Plan Living space. The Kitchen area is furnished with a good range of white wall and base cabinets with contrasting black work-surface and modern subway tiles as splash-back. Electric oven, ceramic hob and stainless steel sink unit. Slimline dishwasher and under-counter fridge included in the sale. Original, recessed, very useful storage cupboard. The Living area is spacious enough to accommodate a modest table and chairs and has a large window with rear aspect. Alcove recess to the side of the fireplace and super game/meat hooks remain in-situ in the ceiling! The main focal point of the room is the impressive inglenook fireplace with original stone mantle (not in use).

The Inner Hall has an excellent bank of storage cupboards with the middle cupboard being a Utility Closet with plumbing for washer and space above for drier.

The cosy Bedroom enjoys a private rear aspect and has a charming low level recess and sizeable, recessed wardrobe. The Bathroom is spacious with high level window, panelled ceiling and has tiled walls. The white suite comprises bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin on vanitory unit. Chrome ladder style radiator.  

Location Cartmel is a highly desirable and picturesque village renowned for the world famous steeplechase meetings (Cartmel Races), the highly prized L'Enclume restaurant, Sticky Toffee Pudding, impressive architecture and Public Houses/Restaurants.

Cartmel is located approximately 20 minutes from the M6 motorway and a similar distance from the foot of Lake Windermere so is both accessible and convenient. The small Edwardian town of Grange over Sands which offers a wider range of amenities is just 5 minutes by car.

If travelling from Grange-Over-Sands towards Cartmel, turn right at the 'T' Junction at the bottom of Haggs Lane and take the first left just after 'The Pig and Whistle' Public House, at the end of the road turn right and follow the road over the small bridge into Cartmel Square. Turn right under the arch, just after the Gatehouse and Tower House is located on the left hand side with the entrance to No.2 around the back.
Permit on road parking is available.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 25, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. 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

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 3, 2022

    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
