A couple of miles from the shores of Windermere, this delightful apartment makes a lovely holiday base for a family or couple enjoying the Lake District. Part of a magnificent country house dating from 1901, this self-contained apartment has been attractively furnished and lovingly updated to provide relaxing and cosy accommodation for up to four guests. Set within extensive private gardens with views over the Langdales, this elegant property is ideal for discovering the lakes, beautiful valleys and lush woodland of this spectacular national park.
Accessed via stairs from the house’s main hall, this luxurious lower ground floor apartment features a light and relaxing open-plan lounge/diner. The pretty lounge is tastefully furnished and has charming views. The dining area is ideal for a family meal which you can prepare in the stylishly designed and fully equipped kitchen. The apartment also has two comfortable bedrooms, two attractive shower rooms, an outer hallway providing ample storage space, and an inner hallway with a quiet reading area. The veranda houses a private south-facing terrace with garden furniture, making this an ideal spot for dining or watching the birds as they flit across the large, shared gardens.
From the apartment, there are some wonderful walks suitable for all fitness levels. A pleasant stroll takes you over to the Orrest Head Viewpoint (1.5 miles) which looks out across Windermere, while more experienced climbers can attempt Red Screes to the north (8.5 miles). You will find a variety of great cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops both in Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere (2.5 miles), where there are also plenty of opportunities for water sports, hiring boats, or cruising across the lake by steamship. Exploring the area further, you can visit Sizergh Castle (12 miles), Levens Hall (15 miles) or the historic market town of Kendal (8.5 miles).
