    Location

    Windermere is positioned at the heart of the Lake District National Park, now listed as a unesco World Heritage Site and benefits from large tourist numbers annually. The town of Kendal lies approximately 8 miles east. The nearby town of Bowness sits adjacent within 1 mile of Windermere. The town has its own train station.

    The subject property is prominently positioned on New Road, extremely close to Windermere town centre, merging with Lake Road leading down the hill to the lake promenade, which is arguably one of the main tourist attractions in Bowness and the busiest areas in this vicinity.

    The site has good visibility, accessibility off the main road and a convenient cut-through walkway to the side elevation leading to the commercial buildings and residential properties positioned at the rear.

    The outline of the site is shown on the main arterial image, and both existing plans and proposed redevelopment plans for the site are shown overleaf.
