Working as Joint Agent with national auctioneers Allsop LLP, Richard Percival has successfully secured the sale of the former Kirkstone Slate premises at the Old Wood Mill, Skelwith Bridge near Ambleside.

This was a rare opportunity to acquire the freehold interests in a range of commercial and residential buildings in a stunning Lake District location.

The lot even included part of the River Brathy itself along with woodland, adjacent to the well-trod footpath which links the iconic Chesters Restaurant & Giftshop to Elterwater.

Levels of interest were strong with a number of pre-auction bids.

The property sold in the room for a price significantly above the guide of £1.25 million.

Carigiet Cowen & Allsop acted on behalf of Receivers who were delighted with end result.
