A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and sympathetically renovated cottage, ideally positioned in the very heart of Windermere village. Originally converted from former stables approximately 30 years ago and having remained in the same ownership ever since, this charming home combines rich heritage with modern convenience. Showcasing throughout reclaimed ash beams sourced from a traditional barn in Dent, the property exudes character while benefiting from being fully double glazed throughout. The first floor boasts an impressive open-plan layout incorporating a contemporary kitchen, dining area, and inviting living space - perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. To the ground floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms served by a stylish family bathroom. Externally, the property benefits from an integral garage providing parking for two vehicles, together with an additional parking space. The private garden is a particular highlight, complete with a garden room, log store, and tool store.

Situated in a highly desirable central setting, the property is within immediate walking distance of Windermere’s excellent amenities, including a range of shops, cafés, and restaurants, as well as the railway and bus station providing superb transport links. Properties of this calibre, in such a prime and convenient location, rarely come to the market.

Steps lead down through the garden to the porch, where slate benches provide useful seating with practical log storage beneath. A characterful front door with stained glass detail opens into:

Beautifully arranged and filled with natural light from dual aspect windows, this impressive space provides clearly defined areas for relaxing, dining, and cooking.

The sitting area is centred around an inglenook-style fireplace with a log-burning stove set upon a slate hearth, creating a striking focal point. Panelled walls to either side discreetly conceal a hidden internal door leading into the garage, while a cast electric radiator ensures the space remains warm and comfortable throughout the year. The dining area sits adjacent, with space for a table and a fitted wooden cabinet housing the boiler.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units in a stylish dove grey, complemented by laminate worktops. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and hob with extractor over, along with a white ceramic sink set against tiled splashbacks. A textured vinyl floor completes the space, while a window overlooking the rear garden provides a pleasant outlook.

The garden is a true delight, thoughtfully arranged with mature shrubs and planting, raised timber beds, lawned and gravelled areas, and a central stepped pathway leading down to the house. A recently constructed garden room offers a versatile additional space, fully insulated and equipped with electric heating and double-glazed windows—ideal for use as a home office, studio, or relaxation space. Further benefits include a log store and tool store, enhancing the practicality of this charming outdoor setting.
