Situated on the western edge of stunning Ullswater in the Lake District National Park, this gem of a property offers contemporary living for four against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. Located in the small village of Watermillock, there are magnificent lakes, majestic fells and remarkable waterfalls all close by, so walking enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice. After busy days exploring the Lake District, guests can return to this impeccable property to immerse themselves in the rural tranquillity or wander the 1 mile to the local pub for an evening meal.
On entering this bright and airy home, you’ll be greeted by the open-plan lounge/diner, where the vaulted ceiling and neutral tones create light and space. Well-placed picture windows and contemporary fixtures and fittings add a sense of calm, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. Next door, the large, well-equipped galley kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner. Leading off the kitchen are two gorgeous bedrooms (a super king-size and a twin), each with their own en-suite shower room. To the front of the property, there’s a south-facing patio, which is ideal for al fresco dining, and beyond that is a lovely lawned area.
There are plenty of walks on your doorstep, such as up Little Mell Fell or Gowbarrow Fell. Or why not venture 3.5 miles to Aira Force? Here you’ll find a range of walkways showcase the power and beauty of the waterfalls. Ullswater itself can be seen on foot or by boat if you jump aboard one of the steamers. For something more strenuous, the walking routes at Helvellyn are 5 miles away. For delightful independent shops and eateries, head to Pooley Bridge (3 miles) or Penrith (8.5 miles).
