A historic coach house in the Lake District has been converted into holiday apartments and is now up for sale for over £1m.

Set in the grounds of the Old Manor House at the base of Kirkstone Pass, The Coach House in Ambleside is on the market.

The property is being marketed by Colliers for offers in the region of £1,350,000.

According to the estate agent, part of the building is thought to date back to the 18th century.

The building, once the stables and coach house for the manor, now houses seven self-contained apartments designed for the self-catering holiday market.

The operation of the property offers potential buyers flexibility: it can be easily operated at arm’s length as a profitable investment or taken on by an owner who could live in one of the apartments as a "live in" investment.

Six of the apartments have one bedroom, while one has two bedrooms.

The six one-bedroom apartments are each equipped with modern amenities and feature a designated parking spot.

They are named after a local feature – Cartmel, Duddon, Fairfield, Wansfell, Hardnott and Kentmere. 

Each apartment accommodates two guests and includes a living room with a kitchen area, a fully tiled shower room, and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.

Wansfell differs slightly, featuring a bathroom instead of a shower room.

An additional larger apartment named High Spy resides on the second floor.

This unit accommodates four people and offers a hallway with a boiler cupboard, a lounge with two feature "Juliette" balconies, and a kitchen fitted with modern units and appliances.

It also has a double and a twin bedroom, both with fitted units and wardrobes, alongside a shower room and a bathroom.

The estate has additional amenities for residents and guests, including a bin storage area and a communal laundry room.
