Enjoy a luxurious stay when you choose this outstanding renovated property on The Heaning Estate. Explore 5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, dotted with meadows and picnic spots, for something a bit special on their retreat.
Just 1.5 miles from Windermere, this house may be small by name, but it comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms – making it a wonderful base for families or friends exploring the area. Lake Windermere, 2 miles away, sets the scene for days on the water, whether that’s cruising between piers, hiring a kayak or wandering along the scenic shoreline. Close by, Bowness-on-Windermere (2.5 miles) offers a vibrant lakeside atmosphere, with independent shops, tempting cafes and waterside dining. For panoramic views with minimal effort, Orrest Head (2 miles) is one of the most accessible viewpoints in the area. Those craving a more invigorating ascent can tackle Wansfell Pike (5 miles), where sweeping vistas stretch across the central fells. A little further afield, the charming streets and acclaimed eateries of Ambleside (6 miles) await, while Grasmere (10 miles) beckons with its literary heritage and classic Lakeland scenery.
This perfectly formed residence sits to the rear of the estate’s main property, The Big House, and oozes character, charm and quality. The rear entrance from the cobbled courtyard leads into an attractive hallway come utility area with handy bench seating and plenty of space for hanging outdoor gear.
The glorious open-plan living space flows through the ground floor, comprising a well-fitted kitchen with a central island, dining area and cosy lounge space with deep cushioned corner sofas and French doors leading to the outside terrace. There’s a handy cloakroom with a WC off the hallway. Upstairs are three bedrooms with views across the open countryside towards the fells beyond: one super-king-size, one king-size, and one super-king-size zip-and-link that can be converted to twin single beds on request. They are all uniquely presented with an individual theme, sumptuous furnishings and exquisite décor to ensure a restful sleep. Each one has en-suite facilities.
Patio doors from the lounge open directly onto a fully enclosed private courtyard garden, where bistro-style seating awaits for morning coffee or supper beneath the evening sky. Private parking for three cars makes coming and going straightforward. The house forms part of a wider estate that includes five one-bedroom barn cottages, five three-bedroom homes and a seven-bedroom Victorian house, all available individually or in combination – a versatile choice for gatherings large or small.
