Ideal Holiday Letting Opportunity In the opinion of Lakelovers (https://www.lakelovers.co.uk) "2 Kirkstone Court offers the potential to create a highly successful furnished holiday let. Once correctly presented the property would benefit from the strong year round demand which would generate the opportunity to achieve higher than average occupancy rates. Once presented, priced and marketed correctly we would suggest that the property would generate a gross rental income of £30-35,000 in its first year with the opportunity to grow this further based on repeat bookings, good reviews and a combination of full week bookings and short breaks."
