Class and character in a dreamy countryside setting! Victorian elegance and contemporary luxury combine here to make a first-class holiday home for a large family or group of friends. And you are so much in the heart of Beatrix Potter country that her former home is literally just down the road! Tucked away on the quieter bank of Lake Windermere, Wykefield is a really special rural retreat for your party. The outstanding views from your holiday home are a breath of fresh air for any jaded soul, and extend across serene Esthwaite Water. You have direct access to the Lake, too! Walls of glass in the elegant lounge makes the most of this stunning outlook, and the beautiful slate-floored conservatory dining-area, simply another level of decadence, also lets you soak in the scenery, and opens on to the superb Lakeland stone terraced patio, fronting on to the gently sloped lawn. Out here, you can spend a chilled afternoon sprawled on the grass or enjoy a BBQ together on the excellent garden furniture set. The owners of the property respectfully advise that extra care may be needed if there are small children in your party as there are significant drops within the grounds and the terrace is unfenced. Near Sawrey is one of Lakeland's most celebrated and prettiest hamlets, and it's most famous resident was the well-loved author of the 'Peter Rabbit' stories, Beatrix Potter. Miss Potter took holidays at the very residence of which Wykefield forms a part, and even completed a rather famous tale, 'Peter Rabbit', while she stayed here! Hilltop, her subsequent home, is sited here, too. Also close by, the Tower Bank Arms is a quaint and comfortable local offering fine real ales. And the walking around you is of the very highest calibre. Stroll on to Claife Heights from your doorstep, take a dip in Moss Eccles Tarn, or saunter by the shores of Lake Windermere. When you return to your delightful country abode, there is nothing better than to put some logs on the open fire and toast your toes together in the inviting lounge. And you also have the aptly-named 'snug' available if you need a little 'me' time or your party are looking for different ways to unwind. Charming and tasteful décor throughout verify that this outstanding property is tailor-made for total relaxation.
