Description

Everything about this property screams luxury from the fabulous fixtures and fittings to the contemporary style the current vendor has created. Apartment 3 is conveniently placed in the heart of the town, deceptively spacious and being on the second floor, the views are sensational with every window looking to a different fell range. The vibrant town centre is a stone’s throw from the apartment and gives access to all the local amenities as well as the vivacious café and bar scene. Derwentwater Lake and the famous Theatre by the Lake are a 10 minute walk away and the Alhambra Cinema, a minute’s walk up the road. The apartment has been used as a successful holiday let as there are no restrictions on occupancy.

The kitchen area is contemporary in style with a full range of wall and base units incorporating quartz work tops and all integrated appliances. An island sits centrally to take in the breath taking views and is a great place to sit and entertain.
