Denise White Estate Agents Comments
A beautifully presented apartment forming part of the charming Lakeland Lodge, an attractive period building believed to date back to 1875, set within one of Rudyard’s most picturesque and sought-after locations. Originally constructed during a time when Rudyard flourished as a popular destination for leisure and countryside retreats, the building retains an enduring sense of character and heritage, now thoughtfully converted to provide a collection of individual apartments.
The property is accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance, reflecting the building’s historic appeal, leading to a private hallway that welcomes you into the apartment. The living accommodation is both light and inviting, with a spacious lounge offering an ideal setting for relaxation or entertaining, enhanced by a stunning bay window which frames pleasant outlooks over the surrounding natural beauty for which Rudyard is so well known.
The kitchen is well arranged, featuring a range of fitted unitswith integrated appliances, and ample workspace, catering comfortably to modern-day living. The bedroom is generously proportioned and beenfits from an extensive range of built in wardrobes and storage, providing a peaceful and restful retreat, while the bathroom is fitted with a contemporary suite, completing the internal accommodation.

A significant added benefit is the inclusion of a detached single garage, fitted with a remote-controlled electric roller door, offering secure parking or valuable additional storage—an increasingly rare feature for properties of this nature.
