Location
Windermere Road is a highly sought-after residential area, just a few minutes’ drive from the town centre. Set in an elevated position and backing onto open farmland, the property enjoys a delightful rural feel while remaining conveniently close to a range of independent retailers, supermarkets, and schools. The Lake District National Park and excellent commuting links via the M6 motorway are also within easy reach.
Description
Set back from the main road and positioned in an elevated location, this property is approached via a tarmac driveway, flanked by a lush lawn garden with mature shrubs and a hedgerow boundary. A detached single garage, tucked behind a gate, offers secure storage for bicycles and garden equipment.
Entering through the front porch with terracotta tiled flooring, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the ground-floor accommodation and stairs rising to the first-floor landing.
The main reception room is an impressive open-plan lounge/diner, spanning the full depth of the property and creating a superb space for family living and entertaining. To the front, a cosy bay-windowed lounge overlooks the garden and features an open fire, offering a warm and inviting focal point. At the rear, the formal dining area seamlessly connects to the garden via glazed patio doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of storage cupboards and a three-sided worktop, providing generous preparation space. It includes a one-and-a-half sink drainer with mixer tap, a four-ring gas hob, an integrated electric oven/grill, and washing machine, with dedicated space for an upright fridge freezer. Plumbing and electrics available for a replacement dishwasher. Additional cupboards provide storage for dry goods and household equipment. A door from the kitchen leads directly to the driveway for convenient access, where a handy shed provides coal storage.
Upstairs, doors lead to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a generous, bay-windowed double, complete with built-in wardrobes and additional open storage, enjoying elevated views across Benson Knott and the Howgills, a view also shared by the adjoining single bedroom. At the rear, the second double bedroom overlooks the garden and adjoining farmland. The bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece suite, comprising a bath with wall-mounted electric shower, WC, and wash basin.
To the rear, a paved patio extends from the dining area, leading onto a lawn garden with an additional patio seating area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. The field behind is owned by many of the residents of Windermere Road and cannot be built on.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
