WHY WETHERAL? The village boasts an impressive range of amenities including two Public Houses, a restaurant, village shop and Post Office, café, doctors surgery and Leisure Club with swimming pool. All of this is in addition to the railway station on the Carlisle-Newcastle line and close proximity to the M6 motorway and A69. For leisure pursuits, Carlisle Golf Club is just a few minutes drive by car and the village sits high above the River Eden, known for its fishing. A little further afield are the Lake District National Park and Hadrian's Wall, both of which are World Heritage Sites and less than 30 minutes drive by car. Lime House occupies a prominent site right in the very heart of the village so is superbly placed to take in everything the village has to offer.  

ACCOMMODATION ** The apartment is accessed via a communal hallway from the front of the building. Unusually for an apartment there is also a private rear access directly in to the property from the the two allocated parking spaces to the side of the building. Internally the accommodation benefits from the original high ceilings and large windows which give the property a feeling of spaciousness.The contemporary kitchen and bathrooms compliment the period features and appearance of the building without looking out of place. This luxury apartment is one of 9 that has been sympathetically converted by local builders Magnus Homes. There are only 4 on the ground floor making this a rare opportunity to secure such a centrally located easily accessible home. The living space and balcony also benefit from views overlooking the charming village green.

  • 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.
