This property, located along a private road, is an ideal base for exploring everything Bowness on Windermere has to offer, including some of the Lake District s top attractions. There is plenty to keep you entertained in the Lake District. You can take a boat cruise on Lake Windermere to Ambleside or head to Lakeside (7 miles) for a visit to the aquarium, or perhaps catch the steam train to Haverthwaite. You can hire a boat or bring along a paddleboard, to take in the scenery of the lake up close. Bowness on Windermere is also home to attractions like Beatrix Potter World and the charming Art Deco Royalty Cinema. For hiking enthusiasts, there are numerous nearby trails, including Orrest Head in Windermere (4 miles), with several of the Lake District s stunning fells just a short drive away. A visit to Grasmere (12 miles) is also highly recommended, where you can pay your respects to the world renowned William Wordsworth at St. Oswald s Church. Entering the property you are instantly welcomed into the main hall and sunroom. Heading through the spacious inner hallway you can find the kitchen, lounge and dining area. The kitchen is well equipped to cook up a hearty breakfast or evening meal. The dining room is directly off the kitchen with a large dining table and chairs, ideal for getting the whole group together over a delightful meal. The crockery is kept in the large black sideboard at the back of the dining area with cutlery housed in the top drawer of the glass black cabinet next to the table. The open plan dining area leads directly to the spacious lounge which benefits from floor to ceiling glass windows and doors, taking full advantage of the uninterrupted views. The lounge has a large contemporary wood burning stove and comfy sofas, where you can enjoy taking in the view with a glass of your favourite tipple. Built into the hill to take advantage of the lake view, the house is on a split level, with the spacious super king master bedroom and beautiful en suite bathroom situated on the lower level floor (a couple of steps down). There is plenty of storage provided with a wardrobe and drawers. There are a further two double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, the other bedroom with a family bathroom. There is a further bedroom with twin beds and an en suite bathroom. Finally, a small shower room with WC sits opposite the garage door. The large garage houses a washing machine and separate dryer should you need to refresh your towels after a day at the lake.

Sitting on a large plot, with a steeply lawned garden to the front, this property has a huge balcony and the views are simply breath taking!
