The specialist hotel agency team at Colliers has sold Ouse Bridge Guest House, an elegant Edwardian house overlooking Bassenthwaite Lake in the Lake District.

Situated in Dubwath almost midway between the Cumbrian towns of Keswick and Cockermouth, the guest house with 11 letting bedrooms with en suites and private bathrooms, as well as a spacious owner’s suite comprising of lounge, two bedrooms and a bathroom, was sold off an asking price of £699,500.

The property has been now acquired by Ben and Virginia Richardson who have moved to Dubwath to run this characterful and charming guest house, after previously managing a gym in Abingdon. Previous owner Claire Shepherd bought the property in 2010 but has now decided to retire from the hospitality industry to focus on other business interests.
