A former junior school overlooking Lake Windermere has been put up for sale for an undisclosed price.

Windermere School sits on a 20-acre estate offering panoramic views of Langdale Fells as well as the lake itself.

The site comprises the 27,038 sq ft school building, which spans four floors, three cabin classrooms and expansive recreational areas including tennis courts and playing fields.

Tom Cunningham, UK regional director, hotel capital markets, at Savills Manchester, which has been appointed to market the site, said: “Opportunities like this in Windermere are incredibly rare and virtually unheard of. With its stunning setting and substantial scale, this site presents an extraordinary range of possibilities and potential for commercial or private buyers including hospitality, leisure, private residential or continued education, subject to planning consents. Given the truly unique opportunity, we expect strong competition from a variety of prospective buyers.”
