Staying at this impressive, stone-built property just outside Windermere offers friends or family the perfect Lake District escape. Set in the heart of South Lakeland, the house provides easy access to the stunning lakes, with Bowness-on-Windermere just a two-mile walk or drive away, where you can explore charming streets, cafes, and shops. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate being less than a mile from the renowned Windermere Golf Club. For outdoor lovers, the surrounding area is a paradise. Enjoy scenic walks and bike rides along the fells, through woodland trails, or around the shores of Lake Windermere, taking in the breathtaking views that make the Lake District so iconic.
The property welcomes you through a traditional slate and glazed entrance porch, complete with stone seating on either side. Inside, the dining room exudes style, with exposed ceiling beams and shuttered windows framing the garden outside. The lounge is a cosy retreat with a wood burner, panelled walls, and a bay window that make it a lovely spot to gather on chilly evenings. The drawing room showcases the elegance of Victorian architecture, with tall windows, high ceilings, ornate cornice mouldings, and recessed alcove shelving – a stately setting for conversation or quiet reading. At the heart of the home, the kitchen brings Lakeland charm to modern living. Equipped with two electric ovens, an induction hob, and generous cabinetry, it's easy to prepare meals with everything at hand. A Belfast sink sits beneath a window overlooking the house's side garden, and a door leads directly out to the grounds. The eight bedrooms are spread across two floors, each with unique views of either the gardens or the surrounding countryside. Two of the rooms include en-suite shower rooms, five bedrooms have en-suite WCs, and there are two further house bathrooms, providing flexibility for families and groups.
Outside, almost two acres of grounds invite exploration. Raised pathways wind through lush lawns, flowerbeds, and mature trees, including oak and beech. At the top of the garden, a private hot tub awaits, while the Breeze House provides a sheltered outdoor seating area for al fresco lunches and evening drinks. Please note, the hot tub will no longer be available after the 26th December 2026. Private parking is abundant, with areas surrounding the house and a level turning and parking space opposite the lane accommodating around seven cars, ensuring convenience for all guests.
