A one-bed flat in the heart of the Lake District is set to go under the hammer with a guide price of £75,000.

The property on Eskin Street, Keswick is being sold by conditional auction by Hamilton Parker's Limited.

The "well presented" apartment is a purpose built retirement development located within walking distance of Keswick town centre.

The development includes a resident’s lounge, lift, laundry facilities, a resident’s house manager and communal grounds and parking and is meant for the over 55s (if you're a couple) and over 60s (if living alone.)

The accommodations had a lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. There are electric wall heaters as well as double glazing throughout.

The first floor can be accessed via stairs or lift from the ground floor communal entrance and hallway.

"Homethwaite house is in the heart of Keswick and ideally located for access to excellent amenities including various shops, restaurants, and tea rooms," says Zoopla's website.

It is for sale by conditional auction with a starting bid of £70,000 plus the reservation fee.

The property is available to buy with finance and you can call Hamilton Parker's office to discuss this further.

Bids can be made at anytime during the process.

This method of auction requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days of the draft contract for sale being received by the buyer’s solicitor. This additional time allows buyers to proceed with mortgage finance.
