LOCATION
The site is located on Bellman Landing, who of the most desirable stretches of lakeside frontage in Windermere and the wider Lake District National Park.
Bellman Landing is situated to the south of Storrs Hall, approximately 2 miles along to A592 to Bowness on Windermere.
The site benefits from good connectivity to the main road networks, with Junction 36 of the M6 motorway being approximately 15.5 miles via the A590, and Junction 37 being approximately 16 miles away via Kendal and the A684.
The attached location plan shows the position of the site (for identification purposes only).
DESCRIPTION
Benefiting from a lake frontage, the site sits directly between Lake Windermere and the A592. The plot rises in elevation from the lake through a series of levels until the top of the site reaches road level.
The site previously had a boathouse in situ which had become dilapidated and not fit for purpose. Arrangements were therefore made for the plot to be cleared, and planning permission was sought for a replacement boathouse and dry room.
The boathouse and day room plot is set back behind an existing row of boathouses, with an area of woodland bounding the site to the north. The site also benefits from a treeline to the east of the site, creating an attractive backdrop behind and above the site.
There is dedicated off road car parking directly above the site, and a shared flight of steps giving pedestrian access to the lower-level parts. Access and parking arrangements have been improved through the new planning permission for the site, details of which are outlined in the planning section.
ACCOMMODATION
The property provides the following approximate Gross Internal Areas:
Site Area 253.09 sq m (2,724 sq ft)
