A beautiful retreat in an enviable position between Bowness and Windermere, this delightful apartment is perfect for couples and small families. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home encompasses the two upper floors of a Victorian house. In a great location for shops, pubs and restaurants, it is 0.5 miles from the shores of Windermere, where lake cruises can be boarded and rowing boats can be hired. Find fabulous walks in the area too. Orrest Head, famous as the first viewpoint visited by author and walker Alfred Wainwright in 1930, and School Knott Tarn, with its incredible views over Windermere, are 1.5 miles away. Take a steam train from Bowness to Lakeside, taking in the splendid scenery as you go. Plan an afternoon in Ambleside, 5 miles away, with its independent shops, or to the National Trust's Fell Foot, with its gentle strolls and beauty spots for paddling and picnicking.
Climb five steps to step into the duplex apartment via the main front door. Enter the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which is filled with sunshine thanks to its bay window and offers comfortable space to unwind after your busy days. Sink back into the soft seating in the lounge area to enjoy the airy ambience as you chat about your excursions or settle down to a good TV show or DVD film. An open archway means the kitchen/diner end of the space flows smoothly on from the lounge. Chat to your friends and family as you rustle up the next meal or snack. Gather round the table to dine together and linger here long into the evening, just enjoying each other's company. There is also a handy WC downstairs. When you are ready for a superb night's sleep, climb the stairs to the upper level of the apartment, where your king-size and twin bedrooms are situated. The family bathroom, which features both a bath and a shower, is also here.
The small patio to the front of the property is the perfect spot for relaxing out in the fresh air with a cup of tea and watching the world go by. Parking for this property is on the street, subject to availability.
