Benefiting from views of Esthwaite Water from the lounge and one bedroom, this fabulous first-floor apartment provides an exceptional base for a South Lakes adventure holiday for you and three guests. With four hosted across two inviting, en-suite bedrooms, this property lends itself perfectly to a pair of couples looking to hike, bike and boat around Cumbria’s famed National Park. The accommodation is situated amongst similar properties in a grand former estate, surrounded by 40 acres of shared gardens and beautiful woodlands. It’s well-positioned between Lake Windermere (3 miles) and Coniston Water (4.5 miles), unlocking a world of experiences both out in the water and up on the Fells.
Arrive at this impressive manor house and venture up to the first floor to find your single-storey apartment. Leave coats and boots in the hallway before stepping into the open-plan lounge/diner with plush leather sofas and a dining table positioned by a bay window for breakfast with a view. All of your meals can be prepared in the kitchen next door, a well-equipped space with a Nespresso machine for those early mornings. Two identical super-king-size bedrooms are on hand for nighttime, each with a zip-and-link bed to add versatility to the sleeping solutions.
A pleasant 1-mile stroll leads past the water and into Hawkshead, your nearest village with plenty of amenities. Home to the National Trust’s Beatrix Potter Gallery and a local chocolate factory, you can while away an afternoon in this picture-perfect village. On the water, take the property’s rowing boats out and see the scenery from a fantastic vantage point. Another impressive vantage point is to be found up Claife Heights (5 miles) with panoramic scenery of Lake Windermere and the two waterfront towns, Windermere (5 miles) and Bowness (4.5 miles).
