About our properties​

​The Lakeland Housing Trust currently owns 42 properties.

​Our portfolio includes one, two and three bedroomed houses - suitable for single people and for growing families. They are situated in areas where second home ownership and consequent high property prices are most acute - Ambleside, Outgate, Hawkshead, Sawrey, Coniston, Langdale, Grasmere and Troutbeck.

​Some of the houses are situated in central village locations and others are more rural. They range in style from modern builds to much older traditional stone built cottages.
