2 bedroom apartment for sale

Description: Set in a quiet residential corner of Windermere, this well presented two bedroom first floor apartment offers modern comfort, low maintenance living and a highly convenient position close to village amenities. It is an ideal option for local professionals or anyone seeking a ready to move into home with reliable day to day ease. The property includes off road parking, a private garden area and a rare private entrance with its own front door, giving the apartment a level of independence that is unusual for this type of property. Views from the lounge stretch across the Coniston and Langdale fells and the room enjoys year round sunsets. Local occupancy conditions apply, making this a valuable opportunity for those with established ties to the area.

Location: Situated on the outskirts of Windermere, the apartment provides quick access to both Windermere and Bowness while remaining tucked away from the main routes. From the village centre, head towards Bowness and turn left onto Ellerthwaite Road before the Windermere Park Hotel. At the T junction, turn right onto Park Road, then take the immediate left onto Limethwaite Road. School Knott Drive is the fourth right. Parking is on the second right hand turn with Number 11 positioned directly ahead and approached from the rear of the building.

Property Overview: Number 11 has been modernised throughout and benefits from its own private garden and outdoor store. The self contained entrance gives direct access from the garden into the entrance hall which provides generous built in storage. Stairs lead to the main accommodation on the first floor.
The lounge is bright and welcoming with elevated views across the Coniston and Langdale ranges. It is a standout feature of the home and enjoys natural light throughout the day with sunset views across the fells.
The dining kitchen is fitted with modern wall and base units, an AEG oven, induction hob with extractor and a built in dishwasher. A dedicated laundry cupboard with plumbing for both washing and drying machines adds practicality and ensures the space remains low maintenance.
There are two well sized double bedrooms. The main bedroom includes a fitted bespoke wardrobe, providing far more storage than is typical for an apartment of this size. The bathroom is notably spacious for an apartment of this type and includes a white three piece suite with bath and shower over, vanity storage and a clean modern finish.
Storage is a key advantage of this property. The central hallway offers three large cupboards, one housing the boiler, and there is access to a boarded loft space with an integrated step ladder, giving practical additional storage that is exceptionally easy for an apartment.
With no upper chain, modern interiors and a well maintained presentation, the apartment is ready for immediate occupation. Certain items of furniture can also be included by negotiation for an even smoother move.
Please note that the local occupancy clause requires the buyer to have lived or worked within the county of Cumbria for at least the past three years.
