Description
Description Opportunities such as this are few and far between - a ready made portfolio of 3 superb holiday lets for investors, or a wonderful lifestyle change for those seeking a splendid family home with instant letting income from the 2 adjoining cottages.
All three are full of character and are just a short stroll from all lovely Grasmere has to offer - what more could you want?
Location Ideally located, enjoying an elevated position and having stunning fell views, with superb walks from the doorstep.
Famous the world over for its connections with William Wordsworth, Grasmere is a truly beautiful village surrounded by stunning scenery and being well catered for by a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, shops and traditional Lakeland inns which are all immediately on hand.
Property Overview This exclusive complex of three cottages comprising The Beeches, Little Beeches and Beech Ghyll provide a superb opportunity whether as a holiday letting investment or an exciting lifestyle change.
Two of the three have recently operated as successful holiday lets, proving popular with guests who really appreciate the wonderful setting and the ready accessibility to the village, the lake shore and the surrounding fells.
The Beeches provides excellent, bright, single level living accommodation which includes a splendid dual aspect living room boasting fabulous fell views from the picture window and ample space to relax with friends and family. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with wall and base units with complementary works surfaces having integrated Gronje appliances including a 4 ring gas hob with extractor over, and separate oven. Additionally there is a Bosch microwave and Kenwood dishwasher. There are three bright double bedrooms all with stunning fell views, a bathroom with three piece suite comprising a shaped bath with Mira shower over, WC and pedestal wash hand basin, supplemented with a separate WC cloakroom with wash hand basin. Currently enjoyed as an additional residence by the current owners, The Beeches would equally suit as a splendid family home should a change of lifestyle appeal, with the two adjoining cottages providing a ready made income from holiday letting.
The adjoining cottage "Little Beeches" is a sweet stone built holiday let also offering single level accommodation, entering directly into the cosy and welcoming sitting room. An inner hallway provides space for coat storage and leads to the kitchen which is fitted with wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer unit. The bedroom is bright and airy with light flooding in from the Velux, and also benefits from having an integrated wardrobe and contemporary wash hand basin set above a drawer unit. The ensuite shower room has a two piece suite comprising a Mira shower and a WC.
Completing the trilogy is Beech Ghyll. A characterful stable door leads to a spacious entrance porch - ideal for coat and boot storage. The wonderful open plan living space is perfect for gathering with friends and family with space to both dine and relax. The kitchen is part tiled having fitted wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer with mixer tap, and a breakfast bar for informal dining. Integrated appliances include a Lamona ceramic hob with extractor over, a Bosch oven and Diplomat dishwasher. There are two bedrooms, one being a spacious double, the other currently utilised as a twin. Accessed from the double bedroom is a store room - in need of upgrading it is a good size and offers potential. The large bathroom has tiled walls and floor and a four piece suite comprising a panel bath, Triton shower, pedestal wash hand basin and a WC. Additionally there is a WC cloakroom just off the hallway.
The tiered gardens are quite special with several seating areas including a peaceful raised patio to take in those superb views.
The integrated garage has an up and over door, light and power points, a stainless steel sink and drainer and plumbing for two automatic washing machines. A useful space currently used as storage and housing the Vailant gas boiler for The Beeches and the Worcester boiler for Beech Ghyll. The private driveway offers further parking provision for up to five cars.
Whether you're looking to change the property into one lovely home, or for a home with an annex for a relative, or for a home with two self-contained holiday lets as it currently is, The Beeches, Little Beeches and Beech Ghyll offer great flexibility.
