Ouse Bridge House, a 12-bedroom guest house on the north shore of Bassenthwaite Lake near Keswick, has been put up for sale with a freehold asking price of £875,000.
The Victorian property retains period features including bay windows, high ceilings and a large hallway and staircase.
Nine of the bedrooms are used for guest accommodation, with several offering views of the lake and surrounding countryside. The house also includes a breakfast room and attracts repeat trade throughout the year.

Just a few minutes’ drive to Keswick, this established guest house boasts excellent reviews, and we encourage interested parties to get in touch for more information.”
