A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully positioned three-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor apartment within the highly desirable Highfield House development, set in an elevated position on the edge of the picturesque Lakeland village of Hawkshead.
Highfield House occupies a wonderfully peaceful setting within the Lake District National Park, surrounded by magnificent countryside and enjoying far-reaching panoramic views across the surrounding fells. Apartment 2 makes the most of this exceptional location, with large feature windows providing wonderful outlooks and allowing an abundance of natural light to flow throughout the accommodation.
The apartment is well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, offering comfortable and versatile living accommodation ideal as a permanent residence or second home.
Vendor insight: “After 22 wonderful years since the apartments were first created, advancing age and family commitments mean it is time for us to move on and begin the next chapter.”
The bustling market town of Ambleside, approximately 5 miles away, offers a more extensive range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pubs and other essential services. From Ambleside, the wider Lake District is easily accessible, with Grasmere, Rydal and Windermere all within convenient travelling distance. The popular village of Windermere and nearby Bowness-on-Windermere provide an abundance of attractions, restaurants and leisure opportunities, while the shores of Lake Windermere offer some of the area's most spectacular scenery.
These areas are a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with an exceptional choice of walking and cycling routes, fell and mountain trails, lakeside paths and scenic drives, while the surrounding countryside provides spectacular Lakeland scenery and a wealth of wildlife virtually on the doorstep.
The generous kitchen provides an excellent social space, with its own dining area and is fitted with a comprehensive range of quality wall and base units, granite worktops and integrated appliances including fridge with freezer box, AEG dishwasher, AEG double oven and microwave, AEG coffee machine and a 5-ring gas hob with extractor over. This area also has the added benefit of a convenient built-in storage cupboard housing the Main combi boiler with hive connection.
Moving into the hallway, with additional storage cupboards, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for family, guests or those wishing to create a dedicated home office. Bedroom One is a particularly comfortable double bedroom, benefiting from an en-suite shower room and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The remaining bedrooms are also generously proportioned, each enjoying attractive aspects, with bedroom two benefiting from built-in storage and both rooms featuring attractive windows that enhance their character and appeal. A further well-appointed bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.
Vendor insight: “All owners take great pride in Highfield House, with the gardens and communal areas maintained to a consistently high standard.”
