A striking and beautifully finished lakeside property found approximately 3 miles to the south of Bowness in Windermere. Kessock sits in an idyllic location on the shores of Lake Windermere and offers a truly exceptional Lake District holiday home. Delighting in views across Windermere to Coniston Old Man, one of the Lake District’s most well-known and popular climbs, this property will put you and your loved ones in the perfect position to discover the best of this national park. Kessock is nestled within its own landscaped gardens, with bridges crossing streams and a winding path leading down to its own lake frontage with private beach, and tiered picnic area. There is a private jetty for those with a boating interest. The house was rebuilt in 2021 and comprises split level property with open plan kitchen, dining and living room opening onto a balcony, together with cinema room and mezzanine games/ snug and five double ensuite bedrooms, all of which makes the property perfect for a large family or group of up to 10 for contemporary splendour and the wilds of the Lake District on your doorstep. On arrival you will park on the drive which provides space for at least five cars. A path leads you down to the front door and allows glimpses of the truly tremendous views from which the property benefits. On entering you will find a gorgeous open-plan living space with floor to ceiling windows framing the views of Lake Windermere and beyond., Unique furnishings and artwork abound as well as inviting areas to socialise and plan your holiday. Savour a hearty breakfast at the rustic dining table for 10 guests, prepared by the group's chef in the well-equipped, beautifully appointed kitchen with Neff ovens and hob, American style fridge/freezer with ice dispenser, and a Nespresso coffee machine to kick-start your mornings. A built-in wine cooler will chill your wine to perfection. Three comfy sofas await in the lounge area, where you will have the difficult decision to either watch the wall hung Smart TV or watch the ever changing lake views. Younger guests will relish the mezzanine games room and opportunity to challenge the family to table football or curl up into a cosy corner with a good book. For the ultimate space to host movie marathons, head down to the lower ground-floor cinema room with your favourite snacks to find plenty of cushioned seats and a large, wall-mounted Smart TV. A first-floor balcony has plenty of seating to dine alfresco on warmer evenings or savour your morning coffee in peace. As the sun sets over Lake Windermere, choose from one of five delightful bedrooms, all of which feature en-suite bath or shower rooms; you'll wake up to lakeside views in two lower ground-floor king-size bedrooms, whilst two more king-size and a twin are on the ground floor, all with ample storage space and blissful beds to retreat under the sheets. Both lower ground floor bedrooms benefit from patio doors opening onto a private patio, on which you can enjoy your morning coffee or your evening night cap on the bistro furniture sets provided. Quickly freshen up in the first-floor cloakroom before heading out the door to explore this fabulous area of the Lakes. Right on your doorstep are just some of the wonderful perks of staying here, including a sheltered terrace with outdoor seating to make the most of your surroundings; why not take a bottle of wine fresh from the kitchen's wine cooler and toast to your retreat? Follow the gravelled path right down to the lake and private jetty where guests can kayak and relish their own little piece of paradise. If you can tear yourself away, plenty of attractions and amenities await; Kessock is next door to the Beech Hill Hotel and Spa to dine out with your loved ones or utilise the spa and pool facilities to recover after a long mountain hike. Take a short drive into Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere, where plenty of shops and eateries are at hand for your self-catering holiday, as well as boat trips and cruises along the lake, the stories behind beloved characters at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction or pack a picnic and climb up Orrest Head Viewpoint for stunning vistas. Kessock is an ideal location for discovering the delights of the Lake District, with Brockhole for high wire tree top experiences less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck offering traditional tearooms, independent stores and plenty of local walks through picture-perfect countryside. Head to Grizedale for forest trails, memorable mountain views and famous outdoor sculptures, where adventurous guests can mountain bike along exhilarating trails or take to Go-Ape Park. To pair your rural retreat with contemporary comforts, choose Kessock for your holiday home in the Lake District.
