Heron Beck lies a ten minute drive west from the foot of Windermere, a large Lake District holiday home, offering the perfect retreat for large groups of family and friends to gather for reunion and celebration.

For me Heron Beck is a most interesting property, well deserving the five star award. Imaginative, with many delightful details, nooks and corners, all combining to make a fantastic home in which to spend a relaxing holiday in comfort.

Semi detatched, it is set amongst low fells, close to the quaint old town of Ulverston, with cobbled streets, shops, pubs and restaurants, and a twice weekly market.

Drive north and you come to Coniston water. Set off east, where a ten minute drive brings you Newby Bridge and Lakeside, wher you can catch a steamer for a trip on Windermere.

Heron Beck

The main living areas are a galleried concept with each level linked by short flights of wide timber stairs. From the front door you enter into the middle level, a cosy snug with sofas and chairs drawn around a roaring log fire, giving a wonderful focal point to the room.

From here, stairs lead up to a second sitting room, with plump sofas and fine views of the beck from french windows opening onto a balcony.

Back to the snug, and steps lead down to the kitchen. Newly refurbished for Feb 2007, where you will have all the mod cons including a super range cooker and granite worktops.

There are a total of five bedrooms; one off the kitchen, one off the second sitting room, with the rest on the upper two floors, one has an en-suite shower and all reached by the splendid cast iron spiral stair case.

There are two super bathrooms. The first is off the middle level with a whirlpool bath, hand basin, WC, separate shower and sauna room to offer that little extra luxury. Up the spiral stairs to the second fully fitted bathroom with marble tiles and wet room shower.

To the rear of the house is a small garden to relax and barbecue, with views of rolling meadow.

Heron Beck is a splendid place to discover, ideal for gatherings of family and friends, celebration and reunion.
