Located in perhaps one of the most unique locations within the Lake District National Park with unrivalled views across Windermere, this superb site offers great potential for redevelopment (subject to planning). The Pearsall Building provides a wonderful opportunity for visionary buyers to create an exceptional residential/ holiday let scheme or for continued use as an office HQ or small conference facility.
Purpose built in 1973 for the Freshwater Biological Association, The Pearsall Building presents a striking and distinctive design against the more traditional Lakeland stone built Ferry House adjacent. The accommodation currently offers modular offices and laboratory space over ground and first floors in addition to a galleried library area. There are also extensive basement areas and a large flat roof terrace which could with adaption be much more intensively utilised. Externally, there is onsite parking for approximately 17 cars, a number of storage sheds off a gravelled yard, and of particular note ownership of a stretch of Windermere’s shoreline.
Direct access to the lake is gained via a shallow shelving beach, alternatively a nearby 12 metre long jetty and mooring may be available to rent via a licence agreement, for visiting boats.
