Gaze out across the water from this splendid holiday home in the Lake District. Set within a wing of a former grand country home, the exceptional retreat benefits from commanding views thanks to its enviable position in Grasmere. The four-bedroom property sleeps eight guests and a dog, and could be perfect for two families or even a group of friends. Enjoy your proximity to the shops and eateries of Grasmere, as well as those of Ambleside, about 4.5 miles away. Spend days out on the shores of Lake Windermere, about 5 miles from the house.
Step into this imposing property, leave your outerwear in the boot room, and make your way into the lounge, with its picture windows that draw the vistas right inside. Stoke up the wood burner on chilly days and find a film to enjoy together on the Smart TV. Prepare hearty feasts through in the kitchen/diner or perch at the breakfast bar with a cup of tea and a slice of Grasmere gingerbread. Serve up in style in the dining room. You also have a dishwasher, washing machine and everything else you need to make this a comfortable stay. There is one family shower room at this level and another up the impressive staircase, on the first floor. A king-size bedroom and an en-suite shower room, a bunk bedroom for children, and two double rooms are also here. Outside, soak up the sunshine and the views out in your private seating area. You also have parking for three cars.
Head into Ambleside to browse in the shops and dine out in a pub or restaurant serving meals cooked with fresh, local produce. Take a carriage or walk the 1 mile down to Windermere to board a launch that will take you out on the magnificent lake.
