A substantial and traditional Lakeland Victorian property. 

Property Oracle says ..

Holker House is a substantial seven-bedroom, four-bathroom property situated on Compston Road in Ambleside, Cumbria. Ambleside’s popularity as a tourist destination and its natural beauty are undeniable advantages. The property’s location benefits from being close to Ambleside Cofe Primary School (0.14km). While the images show a well-presented exterior, showcasing a traditional Lakeland Victorian style, the interior images suggest a need for modernisation. Furnishings and decor appear dated, requiring updating to meet contemporary standards. Some areas of the property may need minor repairs or maintenance. The lack of information regarding the plot size is a significant omission. The property’s proximity to local amenities and the scenic Lake District is a major plus point. Given the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, this property might suit a large family or could be used for other purposes such as a guest house or holiday rental. The absence of a garden is a significant drawback that potential buyers should weigh against other positive aspects. The listed price of £550,000 requires further investigation into the local market per square foot, and more accurate data on similar properties sold recently is needed for a conclusive valuation. The existing comparable properties provided lack sufficient detail on square footage to allow a robust comparison.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
