Georgian elegance springs to life – with the added benefits of modern luxury – in this superb apartment set within a stunning historic house. Boasting two bedrooms, both with en-suites, it’s ideal for couples or small families, and is located in a charming Cumbrian village that makes the perfect base for touring the Lake District.
Wind through the long and picturesque drive to arrive at the entrance to the 18th-century, Grade II-listed property. Climb the stairs to the second floor, through grand common areas, to reach your front door. The living space is huge, with multiple large windows and a sophisticated, neutral colour scheme, including a gorgeous parquet floor. At one end you’ll find sleek, comfortable seating and a TV/DVD, while at the other there’s a fabulous kitchen/diner, with masses of cupboard space and all the appliances you’ll need to create delicious holiday meals. Both bedrooms are decorated in the same muted, natural tones, and enjoy lovely garden views. The king-size boasts an en-suite bathroom (with separate bath and shower) and the double has an en-suite shower room. Your private patio is furnished with armchairs and a coffee table so you can relax with a book and a cup of coffee, or a sundowner, to enjoy the fresh air. You’re also welcome to explore the spectacular shared grounds, where there’s an enormous lawn surrounded by mature trees and shrubs.
Stroll to the village pub, 1 mile away via local footpaths, where you’ll find a menu of seasonal, local produce and weekly wood-fired pizza. The medieval town of Cartmel is only 10 miles away, boasting independent shops and a host of dining opportunities, from tea rooms to gourmet restaurants. And the southern tip of Lake Windermere is just 6.5 miles away, next door to the National Trust’s Fell Foot country park.
