Property Information: Beechwood Guest House is currently a 6 letting bedroomed Guest House with an interconnected owners house to the rear. This is the current arrangement but on the 6th December 2023 planning permission was granted to divide into 2 separate units, Beechwood (Unit 'B') to the front and Barton House (Unit 'A') to the rear/side.
Beechwood is the front 'guest house' part and can be:

The ground floor boasts three versatile reception rooms, each filled with natural light and offering a range of possibilities to suit your lifestyle with 2 currently being used as living areas and the other being a spacious dining room perfect for hosting breakfast gatherings. The ground floor also features a convenient shower room before venturing downstairs to the expansive cellar, offering ample storage space. It is perfect for housing all your seasonal decorations, sports equipment, or even a burgeoning wine collection. The cellar provides a practical solution to keep your home clutter-free, ensuring that everything has its place.
Moving up to the first and second floor, there is convenient storage space plus 6 inviting bedrooms each offering their own views of the local village and surrounding fells, ample space for relaxation and 5 bedrooms being ensuite. Outside is ample parking for several cars.
A full copy of the planning permission can be viewed on request or alternatively searched on the Lake District National Park Authority website planning section with reference 7/2023/5639.
