The elegant apartment sleeps four guests and benefits from spectacular views out over Windermere. The property is surrounded by extensive shared grounds, with a track leading down to the water s edge. From Lakeside, 1 mile away, you can board one of the iconic steamers to get out on the water and get a whole new perspective of the lake and the dramatic landscape. Hop on and off to visit the aquarium, board the steam train or enjoy a relaxing waterside stroll. The bustling village of Bowness on Windermere is just 10 miles away, where you ll find a great selection of independent shops and restaurants. From here you can also climb Brant Fell, for panoramic views over the lake. The apartment is situated in a grand, 19th century mansion and retains many of its original features, such as wood panelling, parquet floors and impressive high ceilings. Enter via the back door of the apartment and into a spacious hallway, where you can store your coats and boots. From the hallway, bear left into the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This spectacular space is light and airy, thanks to large windows framing beautiful views out over Windermere; relax in one of the seats by the window with a morning coffee, watching the deer in the meadow and boats bobbing on the water. Alternatively, relax on one of the comfy sofas in front of the roaring wood burner to watch a film on the Smart TV or read a book from the bookshelf. There s also a box of toys and books for the little ones. The sleek kitchen features everything a budding chef could desire, including an electric hob, raised oven and grill, microwave and dishwasher. You ll also find a built in washing machine/dryer and a large fridge/freezer. In the evenings, congregate around the dining table for a night of great food and chat. There are two elegant bedrooms, both decorated in calming tones and boasting gorgeous views. The first is a king size and the second is a twin, which can be made up into a super king size on request. Finally, there s a modern family bathroom with a bath, shower and WC, as well as the added treat of underfloor heating. Head out through the shared lobby and into the garden. The grounds are shared, but there is ample space to find your own little spot to soak up some rays or sip on a glass of wine. The large lawns are interspersed with mature trees, creating a grand setting against the backdrop of the mansion. Sit on the bench on the terrace to admire the views of the lake or take the short stroll down to the water s edge to explore the shingle beach and paddle in the water. Should you wish to bring your own boat, you ll have a designated parking space, and you can launch from the beach or the jetty. There are also benches on the grassed area to enjoy picnics and BBQs. There is off road parking available on the estate for two cars and you are welcome to drive to the rear of the property to unload your luggage.
