Grange Flat Inside Former Gentleman’s Residence Goes To Auction.
A three-bedroom apartment inside a former gentleman’s residence in Grange-over-Sands is set to be auctioned, offering buyers the chance to purchase a distinctive property in a sought-after South Cumbrian location.
The apartment occupies the top floor of Kilmidyke Mansion, a former gentleman’s residence on Kilmidyke Drive. The property has a guide price of £120,000 and is scheduled to be offered for public auction on Thursday, 10 September 2026 at The Halston Hotel in Carlisle.
The spacious apartment features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with a lounge and dining area, kitchen, en-suite facilities and additional storage. The property is set within manicured communal grounds and benefits from views across Grange-over-Sands.
It also comes with a private garage and parking, adding to its appeal for potential buyers looking for both accommodation and dedicated parking facilities. The apartment is being sold on a leasehold basis, with the lease running for 999 years from July 1994.
The property provides an interesting opportunity for someone looking for a home in a popular coastal town while also wanting the character associated with a historic building. Grange-over-Sands is known for its attractive setting, Victorian heritage and proximity to the Lake District, making the area popular with residents, holidaymakers and those seeking a quieter lifestyle.
The apartment's position within the former gentleman's residence gives it a distinctive character compared with a conventional modern apartment. The accommodation includes a lounge/diner measuring approximately 5.75 metres by 4.60 metres, while the three bedrooms provide flexibility for family living, guests or home working.
However, prospective buyers will need to take account of the property's EPC rating of F and should carry out their own checks before bidding. Viewings are available by arrangement, with prospective purchasers advised to contact the relevant agents before the auction.
The auction will give buyers an opportunity to secure a substantial apartment with a historic connection and an attractive position overlooking Grange. With its combination of three bedrooms, private parking, communal grounds and views, the property could attract interest from a range of buyers.
The £120,000 guide price also places the apartment at a level that could attract attention from purchasers looking for an investment or a permanent home in South Cumbria. The sale will take place at noon on 10 September, with the property listed as Lot 46 in the auction. The auction listing provides an unusual opportunity to own part of a former gentleman’s residence while enjoying the amenities and scenery of Grange-over-Sands and the wider Lake District area.
