The premises are currently occupied as a gift shop, and prior to that were occupied as a popular Italian restaurant, and the premises are therefore suitable for retail, office or restaurant/café/tea room use. The property comprises an attractive ground floor retail area with ancillary kitchen, together with lower ground floor wc facilities and storage/kitchen. There is a prominent double frontage to Lake Road.

Keswick is situated within the Lake District National Park and is the main visitor centre for North Lakes and is popular with tourists, walkers, climbers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. The Lake District National Park is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the UK and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Latest figures from Cumbria Tourism show that in 2019, the county of Cumbria benefitted from 40 million visitors and an annual spend of just over £3 billion supporting 65,000 jobs in the county. 'Staycations' are seeing a significant number of UK-based visitors staying in the Lake District. The town has a permanent resident population which, together with a significant number of visitors, supports a strong year round trade with Keswick being one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region.

The property is available to let on the basis of the assignment of a 10-year lease from 2021 at a passing rental of £16,500 pa. The lease is drawn on a full repairing and insuring basis subject to rent review and break clause after 5 years, so an assignee would have the benefit of a break clause in 2026. The landlords would consider granting a new, longer lease if required.
