Occupying an enviable location in the lakeside hamlet of Storrs, this grand Edwardian house offers spacious accommodation and stunning views, just moments from the shores of Lake Windermere. Located in 2 acres of private grounds, this magnificent holiday home blends original features with contemporary decor, and includes a light-filled extension with a designer kitchen and a self-contained suite on the top floor.
Spread over three storeys, this five-bedroom property is truly luxurious. The original building has high ceilings, Edwardian panelling, and ornate fireplaces, which are complemented by a contemporary extension that forms the hub of the house. Cook up a storm in the designer kitchen, which includes a range-style oven and large central island, and relax and entertain at the end of the room where a stunning apex window and wall of glazing fill the dining area and lounge with light. There’s plenty of space for your group to relax and spread out with a formal lounge with a gas fire and leather sofas, and a cinema room with a large TV and surround sound in the original part of the house. Here you’ll also find a formal dining room with oak panelling. With four bedrooms on the first floor (a super-king-size with en-suite bathroom that is also the family bathroom, a king-size with en-suite wet room, and 2 doubles), and a self-contained suite with a kitchenette and lounge on the top floor (including a king-size bed and en-suite shower room), there’s heaps of space for your group to rest and recharge. The generous living and entertaining space extends into the mature gardens, where you’ll find a treehouse, a large pond, a gas fire pit, and outdoor seating.
England’s largest natural lake, Lake Windermere, is on your doorstep offering an abundance of activities from boating on a heritage steamer, to water sports, rowing boats, walking, cycling and fishing. This property is situated 2 miles south of Bowness-on-Windermere, a large tourist town with an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, and home to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction. Keen Beatrix Potter fans can also catch the car ferry over the lake to visit Hill Top, the former home of this much-loved children’s author.
