4 Michaels Nook, Grasmere, The Lake District, LA22 9RX - Matthews Benjamin

With wonderful views of the surrounding Lakeland fells, a spacious and immaculately presented single level apartment forming part of this exclusive, private and very secluded country house conversion.

With many impressive architectural details of the Victorian period, this gentleman’s former residence was in later years an exclusive country house hotel. In the early 2000s it was subdivided, with great care and attention to detail, to create four individual and bespoke homes with a fifth detached property forming part of the secure, gated estate. No.4 is a generously proportioned apartment with private access at the rear of the building, the tasteful accommodation offers a glazed vestibule, spacious hallway, reception room with space to sit and dine, a well-equipped breakfast kitchen and two double bedrooms, both of which have attractively appointed ensuite bathrooms.

There’s not much that hasn’t been said or written about the unrivalled beauty of Grasmere and the Lake District over the years.

A magical and inspiring corner of north west England, the Lake District National Park was established in 1951 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. The area is famous for its lakes, mountains, forests and literary associations with former residents, William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter and John Ruskin to name but a few.

Situated at the very heart of the Lake District, Grasmere offers great access to the fells, lakes, tarns and villages and has much to offer the Lakeland resident and visitor alike. Grasmere has a Co-op supermarket, a collection of independent shops and galleries to browse and a great choice of places for refreshments offering everything from light bites to fine dining.

Whether you’re choosing the area for rest and relaxation, for quiet contemplation and inspiration or for exertion and exhilaration there is something here for everyone. Striding out on the fells, cycling the lanes, watersports, wild swimming or simply pottering around the shops the Lake District has something for everyone.

There’s a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere throughout the apartment; it’s refined and elegant in presentation and offers splendid Lakeland views from every room emphasizing the unique nature of the setting of this property.

Wide steps with wrought iron handrails lead up to a seating terrace with a lovely view of the fellside of Stone Arthur rising to the north. French doors open to the vestibule providing a space for coats and shoes. Step through into the spacious hall which offers plenty of room for meeting and greeting also having a boiler/laundry cupboard.
