Incredibly central everything within the bustling and thriving Lakeland honeypot resort of Bowness is on hand including a host of cafes, bars, restaurants and takeaways, a range of independent shops, the three screen Royalty Cinema and Old Laundry Theatre are all within walking distance.

For supermarkets there are branches of Tesco and Co-op in Bowness itself and at Windermere you’ll find Booths and Sainsbury’s.

The station at Windermere is on a branch line from Oxenholme which sits on the main West Coast railway line and there are number of readily available local taxi services available to transport you.

The large airy porch has a slated roof but is mainly glazed, it opens to a generous reception hallway, practically a room in itself. The staircase with an attractive carpet runner rises and the rooms start to flow…

The dining kitchen is such a sociable space, it’s L shaped and the cooking area (with on trend dove grey painted cabinets under granite worktops and the four oven red Aga providing a cheerful pop of colour) opening to the living space and dining area with two walls of windows to capture the views of the garden and fells beyond. Bosch appliances comprise oven, fridge, dishwasher, hob and extractor fan. A lovely touch is the silvered mirrored glass splashback to the hob. The units extend into a peninsular which incorporates a breakfast bar. The living kitchen flows from inside to out with sliding doors and also French windows leading out to the terrace.

Enabling the kitchen to look so clutter free is the exceptionally useful utility room. It provides great storage space and there are cupboards housing the boiler and the hot water storage tank. There’s space for an American style Samsung fridge freezer.

Continuing the flow of living space, double doors from the living kitchen open to the first of two sitting rooms. Convenient but still atmospheric, there’s a living flame gas fire and a characterful semi circular bay window – the view to the garden and then over towards Claife Heights is particularly attractive. There are two further reception rooms, the middle one is currently used as a gym, but over the years it’s been a formal dining room and also a playroom. It too has a great view from the bay window and to maximize light there is a set of double partly glazed doors from the hallway. The third reception room is at the far end, it looks out to the garden and in particular the magnificent magnolia tree. This lovely room has a dual aspect with a square bay window which includes French windows out to the garden.

With a view to the arrival area is the study. It’s well fitted with a desk, filing cabinets and plenty of shelving. If you like to keep an eye out for visitors or perhaps work from home and have clients calling then this is the perfect positioning for a home office.
