Here is your opportunity to enjoy life in the heart of the beautiful Lake District. Ideal as a first or second home, or as an investment opportunity, Elterwater Lodge suits every requirement and is currently a highly successful holiday rental. Set in generous gardens and grounds of c.2.42 acres, this detached house was built by the renowned Pattinson family and dates from the 1930s. Typical of the Pattinson architectural style, it offers light-filled and well-proportioned accommodation on two floors. The sheltered porch opens to a large, triple aspect sitting room, a breakfast kitchen partially open plan to the dining room with a big westerly picture window. Then there’s a rear hall, cloakroom and boiler cupboard. From the first floor landing are three double bedrooms, all of which have an ensuite shower room, plus there is a house bathroom. Upon arrival, the sweeping, gated driveway leads to ample parking provision.  Surrounding gardens have low key landscaping to ensure they visually blend into the surrounding unspoilt countryside. Adjoining the gardens is a field, lovely for wild camping, making dens or encouraging dogs and children to burn off surplus energy. There is a substantial wooden deck which is fabulous for wining and dining, enjoying the fresh air and being out in  glorious nature. The views are paramount and take in fell tops above neighbouring fields and trees. Through the trees in wintertime, Elterwater Tarns are a vision of tranquility. There are two outbuildings, the first a super detached double garage with a storage floor above, the second being an all-purpose store. Elterwater Lodge represents a great business opportunity; whether letting it part or full time, it has proved very popular and comes with a great track record. To enable the seamless transfer of the existing business, the property is being sold almost fully furnished with the advantage of advance bookings. It is let presently through Lakelovers ( ... ) and attracts a four-star rating. Location This location is very special being just over half a mile from the centre of Elterwater, so even on the busiest of days in the height of the season, Elterwater Lodge maintains its quiet and peaceful rural setting within unspoilt, verdant surroundings, a true escape.   This particular jewel of Lake District heaven offers the outdoor enthusiast unrivalled access to wonderful countryside so whether you like to potter, ramble, run, hike, climb or cycle, there is a seemingly endless number of routes and destinations for you to explore from this exceptionally central spot. For holiday letting it’s a winning location, however if you’re looking to keep it all to yourselves and live here full or part time then Elterwater Lodge is an almost unique choice. There are schools, a shop (a Co-op at Chapel Stile), restaurants, pubs and cafes all within either walking distance or a short drive away and for the ‘big weekly shop’ and more general shopping then supermarkets and online retailers readily deliver - living in the depths of the countryside doesn’t mean being cut off from modern comforts! Rural it may be, isolated it most certainly is not. Whilst access by car is no doubt most convenient and popular, buses run out of Elterwater with services to Windermere where there is a branch line railway station having connections to Oxenholme on the main west coast line. Step inside  Elterwater Lodge was purchased in 2015, remodelled and thoroughly upgraded with future holiday letting use firmly in mind. As such it works incredibly well but equally could accommodate full time living with its generously sized rooms that, thanks to the excellent provision of large windows which capture the fabulous views, is both bright and airy. The overall feeling is welcoming, inviting and friendly, due to the combination of the period of the architecture, the choice of fixtures, soft furnishings and the overall presentation.   The comprehensive schedule of work included new bespoke, wooden double-glazed windows, all electrics and plumbing installations were replaced and every wall was plaster-boarded and skimmed. Kitchen fittings were replaced and the first floor layout was re-designed to provide three ensuite bedrooms all with modern shower suites. The multi-fuel stove was added as was a new central heating system (the boiler was replaced again in October 2024) with HIVE controls for remote operation (the ground and first floors are independently zoned). Internal doors are modern in style with an oak finish and there is a Smart TV in every room. From wherever you are in the house there are good views to be enjoyed, but those from the first floor really take some beating as they are elevated above the tree line to the fells. A tour of the accommodation starts from a porch entrance through into the sitting room, which is a large room with an impressive triple aspect having window seats and super views. The dining room and kitchen are partially open plan creating a sociable flow. To the right is the dining room having a dual aspect, including a large picture window. The kitchen area also offers room for informal dining with a fitted high-level oak block table with stools; perfect for breakfast, teatime with the children or drinks and nibbles as dinner cooks. Timeless cream panel doors front the cabinets with oak block worktops and a double pot sink creating a classic country look. The rear hall provides a direct route out to the rear deck, handy for transporting supplies from the kitchen. Off the hall is a combined laundry and downstairs loo and a boiler cupboard provides valuable storage space for housekeeping essentials, as does the under stairs cupboard. Rising to the first floor landing, the bedrooms are all of a good size, lovely and light with far reaching Lakeland views and all are dual aspect.   All three bedrooms have the comfort of an ensuite shower room. Completing the picture on the first floor is a house bathroom with fell views. Contemporary tiles with the appearance of floorboards have been laid in the kitchen, bathroom and shower rooms.  The sitting and dining rooms, the landing and all three bedrooms are carpeted. Step outside Free of streetlight pollution, the nights are dark and can be magically starry. It’s wonderfully quiet, tranquil and restful with just one neighbour (a private second home where the facing windows are all storage areas enabling Elterwater Lodge to maintain privacy). Beyond your own field is farming land; from the house and garden you can watch the grazing sheep and (if you’re very quiet) spot deer as they elegantly pass. The setting is open so in the summer months the house enjoys sun on the deck until early evening – perfect for a long leisurely barbecue.  The drive is gated and leads down passing the top field where in springtime bluebells have naturalized. There’s a large area for parking ready to accommodate family, friends or holidaymakers. Garden areas have been purposefully kept unfussy and are therefore relatively low maintenance and do not distract visually from all the surrounding natural beauty. A stream runs through the garden and feeds a small pond.  When it comes to sitting out there is a garden shelter with four stone pillars under a cedar clad roof. Add some fairy lights and you’ve a delightful venue for a summer evening supper party. There is also a large, raised deck leading out from the house, perfect for outside dining and a glass of something chilled in the evening after a day’s exploring and adventuring. Beyond the fenced garden is a field, included in the sale and currently let informally to a local farmer for grazing. It adds great amenity value to Elterwater Lodge to enable you to fully embrace country living – keep chickens or a few sheep, let dogs run around, children camp and make dens. It’s a terrific addition to the house.   The detached double garage has potential for alternative uses (subject to the necessary consents) and currently offers space for two cars with a pair of wooden doors and ladder access to the storage floor above. There is power and light. External lighting operates on sensors.    Services Mains electricity. LPG fired central heating to radiators from an Alpha boiler. The bathroom, shower room and cloakroom all have heated towel rails. Private drainage to a sole use tank located within the garden. Private water supply from a borehole located within the garden.

Contemporary, well equipped and stylish, Bam Lodge is a single storey wing of Applethwaite Hall, an impressive country house, built in 1901 in the style of the Arts & Crafts Movement, an architectural style popular in the Lake District at the turn of the century with wealthy business owners commissioning their own country retreats.  The house had historically been converted into flats but then, in 2016/17, was remodeled by The Eric Wright Group into twelve individual properties and became known as Applethwaite Hall. The bespoke properties range from one to three bedrooms and unusually have no occupation restrictions, so owners are free to live there full or part time, or use for investment purposes and let them commercially either to long term tenants or on the holiday market.   Whilst the setting is secluded, a real hidden gem, the location is remarkably accessible, being a short drive off the main road into Windermere when travelling in from the south. It’s a tranquil and quiet position, offering excellent accessibility for exploring the wider National Park.  Rare in a country house conversion, Bam Lodge has its own front door so enjoys a degree of independence whilst still benefitting from being part of this small and select residential community. A major selling point is the delightful courtyard garden which provides a private and enclosed walled outside space, ideal if you have young children or dogs. Here you will find space to recline, wine and dine and importantly enjoy the hot tub after a day on the fells. Beyond the courtyard garden is a private parking space, further visitor parking, beautiful landscaped communal gardens and woodland, secure cycle storage and a shared bin/recycling store.  Stepping inside, the accommodation is beautifully appointed and arranged all on one level, combining good quality fittings with stylish interior design. It provides an entrance hall, useful plant room/walk-in store, sociable open plan living kitchen, a principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, second double bedroom and a house bathroom. Bam Lodge is currently available for holidays through originalcottages.co.uk and has a dedicated website, bamlodge.co.uk.  Location Described in the visitor’s book as “quiet and peaceful”, in the heart of the magnificent Lake District, Applethwaite Hall enjoys a privileged position. Tucked away amongst unspoilt and undulating countryside it remains within walking distance of the vibrant village of Windermere with its choice of cafes, bars and restaurants, gift and grocery shops; there is a branch of regional favourite, Booths as well as Sainsbury’s and the Co-op.  Perfect for dipping in and out, such a central location will appeal to anyone seeking a base from which to enjoy the wider Lake District as all the well-known destination villages lie within easy reach for day trips. Step inside  With no occupancy restrictions, Bam Lodge may be enjoyed by all, currently a holiday let, it makes a great investment opportunity but could also be enjoyed as a main residence or as a relaxing second home for regular doses of rest and relaxation away from the stresses and strains of everyday living.    There is a modern yet homely design aesthetic which flows seamlessly throughout. Contemporary styled kitchen, bath and shower room appointments and the décor, furniture, soft furnishings and artwork have all been carefully curated for a sophisticated and relaxed feel. Open the solid oak front door and step into the entrance hall, laid with hardwearing Karndean flooring which extends through into the open plan living kitchen. The internal paneled doors are painted a crisp fresh white and have heritage style handles, whilst all date from the conversion, they are designed to reflect the period of the house.

Turn in off the lane at picturesque South Lodge through impressive stone pillars and drive up the illuminated ribbon of driveway to the car park. Visitors’ spaces are marked with a ‘V’ but there’s a prime space reserved for Bam Lodge adjacent to the front door and marked with ‘6’.  Bam Lodge has the best of both worlds, private outside space for your exclusive use and shared grounds to enjoy with others.   A private courtyard garden, fully enclosed and screened with a high wall is accessible from the open plan living kitchen through bi-folding doors enabling the inside and outside spaces to merge in warmer weather when the garden becomes an extra room. There’s also a solid wooden pedestrian gate from the car park for ease of access.  The courtyard has a terrace of pink sandstone flags for your garden furniture and a hot tub, which receives frequent mentions in the visitor’s book as being amongst other things “perfect after a long day walking”.

Exceptionally well presented, recently extended, newly upgraded and ready for immediate occupation – Millerdale and The Lodge offer an enviable and flexible combination of a four bedroom house and a one bedroom detached ancillary annexe – together they are eminently suitable for extended family living, a self-contained suite for guests or for commercial letting. Situated a respectful distance apart they enjoy independence and privacy in established, mature gardens and grounds of c.0.73 acre in the most accessible of locations.  Built in 1925, Millerdale has been extended over the years and again by the current owners, who, upon purchase in 2021 saw an opportunity to enhance the accommodation with the addition of a fourth bedroom, an ensuite to the rear of the house with its own private balcony. To complement this, the house was brought smartly up to date with contemporary fixtures and fittings and a thorough refurbishment. Following on, the previously unattractive flat roof garage was then completely transformed with a pitched roof two storey extension including a large rear balcony. Both properties have had air source heating installed as well as other sources of renewable energy – solar panels and an EV charging point.  The main house offers side and rear porches, a large L shaped living kitchen, shower room and staircase hall. Off the first-floor landing, the principal bedroom has a private balcony and an ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, a fourth single bedroom and a house bathroom.  The garage has space for two cars and a cloakroom. Separate access to a laundry room and second cloakroom. External oak steps rise to a large rear balcony (under which is a super sheltered seating area) leading into an open plan living kitchen. The second floor provides a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom.  There is excellent parking provision and both properties have private seating areas, being connected with lawns. There are good 360 degree views, those from the back of both properties are particularly special as they are towards Cartmel Fell, over first the garden and then surrounding fields – lovely, leafy, green and unspoiled.   Together Millerdale and The Lodge offer extensive, well-proportioned and light accommodation with an adaptable layout that offers great flexibility capable of suiting a range of buyers.   Location If you want to be centrally placed within the Lake District so as to have maximum convenience for the comings and goings of daily life but also ready access to the innumerable attractions of the surrounding National Park then Millerdale is well situated for your needs. Incredibly easy to reach from the motorway, it’s around a 15 mile drive to J36, largely on dual carriageways, the house is located towards the southern tip of Lake Windermere with a couple of hotels within walking distance for a drink or bite to eat and a well-stocked shop at the nearby service station for emergency supplies.  The whole of the Lake District is then on your doorstep, just waiting to be explored and enjoyed.  Millerdale Whichever window you look out of the views are predominantly mixed green foliage; immensely restful and calming and a wonderful background to life here at Millerdale.  Both internally and externally, the aesthetics have been well considered and artfully employed using a coordinated palette of white, cream, black and varying shades of grey. Materials are traditional; wood, oak, wrought iron and chrome. Windows are double glazed with PVCu frames, smart black externally and crisp white indoors, some of which have integral blinds fitted within the glazing. To accommodate modern life, several plug sockets have USB points incorporated and there are convenient wall points for mounting TVs.  Both balconies have hardwearing composite decking set off with smart black wrought iron balustrading.  Millerdale occupies the more elevated position of the two and has a choice of entrances – the side porch and door opens to the staircase hall, whereas a large covered porch (with the main bedroom’s private balcony above) is probably your everyday entrance as you can pull up and park directly outside and French doors lead straight into the living kitchen.  The spacious living kitchen is a large open plan L shaped room with an enviable triple aspect – cook, eat and relax here, it’s a very sociable setting for family life or a get together with friends. There’s ample storage with cabinets painted in a tasteful pale grey and a full range of integral appliances. Serving the ground floor is a fully tiled shower room with a large shower, vanity unit and loo. Easy to care for, the whole of the ground floor has a smartly tiled floor. Stairs to the first floor have a deep pile, light grey carpet which then extends into all four bedrooms, the bath and shower rooms having tiled floors.  The principal bedroom is at the back of the house and is approached via a striking sliding oak ‘barn door’. This is a fabulous room with excellent views over the garden and adjoining fields to the fell beyond; French doors lead out to a private balcony. East facing the balcony will be lovely in the morning for a quiet cup of tea before breakfast or a pot of coffee with the morning papers. The bedroom has a fully tiled ensuite shower room with a large shower, floating vanity unit and loo. There are three further bedrooms, two doubles are west facing at the front of the house with a fourth single bedroom looking out to the neighbouring fields. Here you’ll find a loft hatch with a pull-down wooden ladder giving access to a boarded roof space with a light for convenient storage. A house bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms and has a lovely double ended bath to bring a touch of luxury to your every day. There’s a floating vanity unit and loo. Here, as in the two shower rooms there is an area of tactile, textured tiles to create a feature wall. The house bathroom and ensuite in Millerdale and the ensuite in The Lodge all have chrome heated towel rails. All three bath/shower rooms in Millerdale have a mirror fronted bathroom cabinets with sensor lighting. The Lodge Within the grounds, detached and offering self-contained accommodation. This is undoubtedly highly adaptable space – perfect if you have dependent relatives of any generation or intend to open your home to guests, the independence that this separate space gives them will no doubt be appreciated by all. On the ground floor is a double garage with an electric up and over door, there’s practical fitted shelving and at the back a cloakroom with loo and wash basin. A side door leads into the utility area, here is a plant cupboard with space for storage, a laundry space with plumbing for a washing machine and room to house a condenser tumble drier. There’s also a second cloakroom, sensible if you’re out in the garden and don’t want guests necessarily through the house.  A lovely set of crafted oak open riser steps leads up the side elevation of the garage to the upper floors where The Lodge is to be found.  The entrance to the living accommodation is via the generous balcony which commands impressive country views and will enjoy a sunny aspect. Here bi-fold doors open into the main living area and create a super flow for outside/inside living. Being triple aspect, the open plan living kitchen is wonderfully light. It is fitted with kitchen cabinets matching those in the main residence together with a range of integral appliances. An enclosed staircase rises to the second floor when there is a delightful double bedroom. The views may be enjoyed from a set of French windows opening to a Juliette balcony. These, coupled with three skylights above ensure it’s a great, light space. There’s under eaves storage and a well-appointed contemporary ensuite bathroom.  The views from The Lodge are just as restful as those from Millerdale – predominantly leafy with aspects over the gardens to the surrounding fields and the fell beyond.  However you choose to use it, The Lodge is a great addition to Millerdale, whether enjoyed as a whole or separately, it’s a flexible and versatile arrangement. You may even decide to use it as a self-contained office suite, the commute to work taking mere minutes and enabling a prized work-life balance.  Step outside A traditional Lakeland stone wall fronts the garden, set between stone gate posts are electric gates which glide open to reveal a long and impressive driveway with wide lawns either side. Millerdale and The Lodge are set back within the generous grounds, framed in a verdant setting with mature trees and well-established gardens that offer privacy and a surprising seclusion.  Lush and leafy, the views are enormously peaceful in every direction. There’s an expansive parking area but it’s also possible to continue up the gently curved driveway to the rear of Millerdale which is handy if it’s raining, you’ve a boot full of groceries to unload or sleeping children to carry indoors, hopefully without waking them.  There’s a variety of places to arrange your garden furniture enabling you to vary the setting depending on the position of the sun and the task in hand. To the rear of Millerdale there are two main seating areas, one laid with gravel, the second being a south facing stone flagged terrace with a wrought iron balustrade, both are convenient for the kitchen to make it practical for outside dining. Rocky outcrops, sloping lawns and gravel paths punctuate the gentle gradient of the garden...

Built for the Upton family, altered and enlarged in the early 19th century by renowned architect George Webster of Kendal and then extended again in around 1900; a fire destroyed much of the hall in the 1920s only to see it restored, extended again and then partially remodeled in 1989. It now comprises thirteen unique and highly individual homes set in a private estate of around 13 acres, the beautifully landscaped grounds feature woodlands, extensive lawns, water features, a tennis court and fishpond. Purchased by the present owners in 2022, The Wing has been painstakingly refitted to create a modern and vibrant family home that is sleek and contemporary with stylish decoration, high end interior fittings, all wrapped up in the charismatic appeal of this impressive and characterful period exterior.  Beyond this are the wider estate grounds. This is an exceptionally special property, unique on all counts, one that would be a privilege to call ‘home’.  Vendor insight   Work commitments are taking us away from Ingmire Hall but we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here as a family and will very much miss all that it has given us. Location Howgill Fells rise to greet you. The setting and views are breathtaking. Ingmire Hall is set a mile and a half to the west of Sedbergh which, as the nearest town, has a comprehensive range of local amenities centered on an attractive Main Street being home to an array of independent retailers, including a traditional grocer and butcher, ironmonger, florist, sweet shop and a Spar supermarket. As an official book town, there is also a selection of book shops to browse and a town library. Healthcare wise there is a medical centre, a dentist and a vet. Sedbergh has a weekly Wednesday market held in the car park on Joss Lane and monthly throughout the summer months, Main Street is the setting for an artisan market.   Vendor insight We were looking for a house that had good commuter access to the M6 and Oxenholme station as well as to local amenities. We feel like we are in another world here, but in reality remain very connected with road and rail links and everything in both Sedbergh and Kendal.    We love to walk, and from here right from the door, or just a short drive away, we’ve been able to explore the local fells. Step inside for maximum convenience and comfort.

Vendor insight    The internal window is not only safety glass but also has extra sound proofing so the children can watch their programs in the kitchen and we can watch ours in the sitting room. We’d designed the desks in the main bedroom to enable us to work from home but have actually enjoyed working at the dining table as the views through to the garden are great and we remain on hand if the children need us. Step outside Whether you are looking for a private spot to grab a quiet moment or a family barbecue, the roof terrace is delightful, immensely private and the views are wonderful. The pergola is an impressive addition making this an all-weather outdoor space – the owners tell us that they’ve enjoyed it throughout the seasons, even when it’s been snowing, with the heaters on, it’s warm and cosy and magical watching the snow silently fall on the estate grounds. On a clear dark night, the roof panels can be opened to indulge in a spot of star gazing.    The lawn in front is private to The Wing and the lawn beyond that is shared with The Main Hall, the adjoining property. A gravel area to the side provides dedicated parking for 4 cars and there are further visitor spaces around the estate. Vendor insight   If you needed extra space, there are some communal sheds available to rent on a monthly basis. It hasn’t been an issue for us as we’ve the room at the side of the house for bike and garden cushion storage. There are so many different places to enjoy within the grounds. In the warmer months we like to take a portable barbecue either up to Tennis House (the views are great, especially back towards the Hall) or down by the fishpond, we’ve set up hammocks in the Fairy Garden with the children, enjoyed drinks with neighbours by the Tennis House and joined in with fireworks. We’ve enjoyed the stillness and calm of the setting.

Welcome to 1 Homescales Cottage, Old Hutton, Kendal, LA8 0NB Contemporary chic meets country casual and get on famously in this characterful cottage.  This semi detached period cottage has been enhanced with a sizeable extension to create a generous country home that starts with a spacious reception hall and cloakroom, a sociable and airy open plan living kitchen with a real ‘wow’ factor where family and friends can gather, a cosy snug, practical utility room and coat store. Adding versatility to the layout, the principal bedroom is on the ground floor and has an ensuite shower room. Rising to the first floor and there are four further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Thoughtful colour and design choices have been selected to ensure that the entire space has a harmonious flow both in style and colour palette making it a delight for modern day living.  The outside space is enclosed and offers a detached double garage, extensive parking, a sheltered seating area and a paddock, in total the property amounts to c.0.77 acres.  A quiet and peaceful setting that offers calming views of greenery drenched open spaces and all the benefits of country life with a host of walks right from the door. The location is far from isolated being set between the Lakeland gateway town of Kendal and the Lune Valley gem of Kirkby Lonsdale. It is also extremely convenient for getting onto the M6 motorway at J36 and for catching a train from Oxenholme station. Surely the best of both worlds?   Location Old Hutton is not so much a single village as a collection of five scattered hamlets, the cottage itself is almost equidistant between Kendal (at just over 5 miles away) and Kirkby Lonsdale (a little further, but still under 8 miles distant). Old Hutton Village Hall brings the community together with pub nights, ‘The Drop Inn’, regular visits from the fish and chip van, as well as film club and live music events. There’s a primary school in the village which is a great asset if you are moving with little ones and a choice of secondary schools in various directions.   Kendal is a well serviced market town with a choice of secondary schools as well as a further education college. The town offers a range of health and wellbeing providers; a hospital (located on the south side of town, so handy for Old Hutton), doctors, dentists and opticians’ surgeries, hairdressers and barbers, beauty salons and for the pets in your life, a choice of vets. There’s also a full range of professional and commercial services. The busy high street offers a good selection of both national chains and independent retailers and for eating out there is a everything from historic tea and coffee shops to contemporary bars, cafes and restaurants. In the heart of the town, Brewery Arts provides a venue for live music, theatre and cinema. Grocery shopping is covered by the full range of supermarkets including a branch of Booths, all backed by a thriving artisan street market on Saturdays.  Kirkby Lonsdale is a popular market town, a tourist hotspot with independent shops and a great choice of places to dine out or meet friends for a coffee or perhaps something stronger. There are schools here as well as doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries.  Old Hutton is perfectly placed for accessing the wider countryside. A 16-mile drive will take you to the shores of Lake Windermere at Bowness Bay. This brings a wealth of Lakeland villages and activities within easy reach for great days out. You’ve also the Dales and local AONBs to explore.  Step inside  The present owners bought in 2018 when the cottage was derelict. They loved the location, the setting, the views and the amount of outdoor space meant that there was potential for a large extension to make it into the family house they needed. They finalized plans and set about a project that remodeled the interior, added a two-storey extension to the side and a large single level addition to the rear. Internally the old cottage was brought up to modern day standards and now old and new has a seamless look, so much so that it’s hard to see where one ends and the other begins. Slated topped steps lead to the main entrance. Cross the threshold and the hall is generously proportioned with floor to ceiling windows (it’s here that the family’s Christmas tree is placed to provide a twinkly glow from outside and also be passed and appreciated most often when inside), an impressive oak and wrought iron staircase rises to the first floor.  Worth noting is the imaginative rustic wooden parquet flooring (much of it oak) that is laid in the hall, snug, cloakroom and downstairs loo. Complementing this are the wide oak boards in the principal bedroom and the use of flags in the main open plan living kitchen, indeed it’s in this room where the line between inside and out is blurred as when the bi-folding doors are open, the sandstone paving has been used both in the living area and out in the garden for a continuous look. The utility room and house bathroom have both been laid with hard wearing and practical Karndean, an attractive carpet runner graces the stairs and to provide a touch of luxury underfoot, mid grey carpeting has been laid on the landing and in the four upper bedrooms. Internal doors are contemporary oak panel doors, albeit with a traditional touch thanks to the choice of heritage handles and mock hinges.  The owners have also paid great attention to lighting design with LED downlighters in several rooms and creative use of wall lights in the reception areas and used either side of beds and in place of table lamps in a number of the bedrooms. The colour palette is muted and stylish throughout, chosen to reflect the surrounding colours of nature and in a few rooms, painted wall paneling has been used to great effect.   We find that the decision to have one bedroom located on the ground floor is an increasingly popular one. As a principal bedroom it enjoys a degree of privacy away from the others and is also flexible to give over and accommodate less able guests. All four of the first floor bedrooms are roomy enough to house a double bed. If you don’t require five bedrooms there’s scope to indulge hobbies or have a dedicated room to work from home.  The sanitary ware styling is all contemporary, in the cloakroom, ensuite shower room and family bathroom and will bring a touch of elegance and luxury to your everyday.  Simply perfect for entertaining, the large open plan living kitchen is an absolute delight. It delivers space to cook, dine and relax. It’s the lightest of rooms, not just because of the glazed wall along the rear elevation, but the large roof lantern is set into the ceiling and allows a rush of natural daylight. The kitchen fittings are at the same time contemporary and traditional; there’s a timeless quality to it. A particularly striking feature is the island unit with oak work surface which extends into a bespoke circular dining table. Adjacent to the kitchen and tucked round the corner is the utility room with a second sink, extra storage and room for your laundry appliances.  The inviting snug really comes into its own as the weather turns and nights draw in. Exposed stone work and panelled walls cocoon the room and calls for hunkering down in front of the wood burner whilst indulging in a film or box set binge. This is lovely country property, great for everyday but one that also lends itself particularly well to entertaining if you like to open your home and welcome in guests. It is full of character but offers no compromises when it comes to contemporary conveniences to make life comfortable. Views are relaxing, open and green, taking in next door’s grazing sheep from the rear elevation and the delightful Barkhouse Beck across the field opposite.  Step outside The outside areas are predominantly to the south west of the cottage. Wooden gates open from the lane to a large parking area, laid with limestone chippings. The garage was added by the owners and fits in well with stone facing and a slated roof. It has a pair of electric roller doors, internal power and light.  The main seating area is next to the living kitchen. Enclosed with a retaining wall, it’s private, sheltered and has both step and step free access from the parking area. It makes a lovely spot for eating outside, a summer’s day barbecue and general relaxation. There would be room to build an outdoor kitchen but why bother when the well-equipped main kitchen is so handy?  Tucked away out of sight behind the garage is a children’s play area with a large wooden climbing frame and trampoline (both are included in the sale).  The paddock is fenced and makes the ideal area for children and dogs to run around and to allow free range hens to wander which is just how the present owners enjoy it. If you wanted to plant a heritage orchard or keep a few sheep, it would also work well.    Around the grounds there is lighting, power points and two cold water taps.   The field measures c. 0.54 acres, in total the property is c. 0.77 acres.  Services Mains electricity and water. Calor gas fired central heating from a Worcester boiler in the kitchen. Drainage to a septic tank, shared with the adjoining property and located within the car parking area.

Welcome to Sweden Lodge, Sweden Bridge Lane, Ambleside, LA22 9EX Built in the 1960s Sweden Lodge won a Civic Trust Award, a reward established to recognise the very best in architecture and for properties making a positive contribution to local communities. Sixty years later Sweden Lodge has had a glamorous make over and once again offers an elegant and sophisticated standard of living, every bit as fashionable as when first built.  Situated in the heart of Ambleside, the elevated setting affords not only some excellent south facing views over the town’s roof tops towards Loughrigg, Latterbarrow and Lake Windermere but embraces a quiet and peaceful setting that offers a rare degree of seclusion and tranquillity not often found in such a central position.  Extremely spacious, with accommodation all on one level there is a large reception hall off which is a cloakroom, a stunning open plan living space with room for cooking, dining and seating and in support of the kitchen, a separate utility room. There are five double bedrooms, three of which are ensuite and a family bathroom.  The grounds extend to c. 0.89 acres and include a choice of seating areas and a small stone built outbuilding which would make the ideal home office, workshop or hobbies space. The outside areas are all wonderfully established and planted with a wide and extensive selection of trees and shrubs to provide privacy and a feeling of retreat, your own private haven.   To widen your options, there is planning permission to build a brand new house in the back garden and at the same time, split the existing dwelling into a pair making a total of three dwellings on the site.  Great options and super potential making this an exciting and rare opportunity to build in the heart of the Lake District.   Location Ambleside needs little in the way of introduction, in the heart of the Lake District and easy to reach, it sits just to the north of Lake Windermere and is a centre for touring, walking, mountaineering and mountain biking. Ever popular, its quaint and characterful streets are full of mainly independent shops and offer a wide and varied choice of places to eat and drink including Michelin starred restaurants. The lake shore at Waterhead is within walking distance where you can feed the ducks whilst watching the world go by or catch one of the traditional steamers to Bowness on Windermere or Lakeside at the southernmost tip of the lake. For your day-to-day needs, there are branches of Tesco, Co-op and Budgens within the village with regional favourite Booths found in Windermere.  Despite all that Ambleside has to offer, those looking to venture out and explore the wider Lake District will find themselves ideally situated from this central position. Whether it’s exhilaration or relaxation you seek, there is much to visit, see and do.  Step inside As part of the original design there is extensive use of floor to ceiling windows which drench the interior in natural light and also capture the views, whether of the garden or the fells and Lake, they serve the purpose of blurring the boundaries and bringing the outside in.  Wide steps lead up to a covered entrance which opens into a reception hall off which is a cloakroom. South facing, the bright and extensive open plan living area has the style and sophistication of the period, a room made for families, for gatherings and entertaining; the views are panoramic and glazed doors open to the front terrace. The kitchen fittings are contemporary but feel perfectly at home in this 1960s’ build, the cooking area is separated from the rest of this vast space by an island unit which incorporates a breakfast bar. The fireplace in the Lakeland stone chimney breast is no longer in working order but remains as a striking original feature and could be overhauled.  Open plan living areas need a back room and here the utility room provides additional storage, a Belfast sink, houses the boiler and hot water store and has room to store coats and boots. As an alternative to the smart reception hall, it makes a good wet weather entrance as there’s a handy door out to the rear courtyard, a great spot to hang washing as it is out of sight of the main seating areas in the garden.  Currently laid out to provide five bedrooms and sleep ten for holiday letting purposes, the configuration could be changed to provide further reception rooms if preferred.  The principal bedroom is a spacious and elegant affair, so much so that there is room for a separate seating area. Floor to ceiling windows and a sliding glazed door bring views of the terrace, garden, lake and fells into the room. A wall of fitted wardrobes provide storage and there is an ensuite shower room.  Passing a row of fitted wardrobes and you’re into the second double bedroom which enjoys the same south facing views as the main bedroom. Here too an ensuite shower room. The third double bedroom has an ensuite shower room and lovely view of the pond at the front of the property and a door to the side garden, if not required as a bedroom it would make a super home office.  The fourth double bedroom would make a cosy snug or TV room as it has a fireplace set into a Lakeland stone chimney breast as well great views being situated on the main south facing elevation. The fifth double bedroom has a delightful aspect of the garden and both it and the fourth room have use of the family bathroom. An additional room provides space for a games room or den.  All refitted, the bathroom, shower rooms and cloakroom are all stylishly appointed in a contemporary manner with a colour scheme which follows on from the décor choices in the bedrooms.  Surrounding Sweden Lodge  Arriving and turning in off the lane there is a generous parking and turning area for family and friends. The extensive landscaped grounds total around c.0.89 acres and envelope the property. Wrap around paving surrounds and to the south extends to form a seating terrace which has numerous access points from within. Paths weave through the established planting which includes a wide variety of trees and shrubs for year-round structure, colour and seasonal interest courtesy of the original owner who was the founder of Hayes Garden Centre in Ambleside. There are lawns, natural rocky outcrops and a hexagonal wooden summer house. A lovely feature is the small stone built outbuilding situated to the upper most corner of the rear garden, it has a private paved terrace in front enjoying good views of Wansfell Pike. It would make an ideal home office, workshop or dedicated hobbies space.  The gardens have the benefit of a second drive off Hill Top Road, beneficial if you need access for supplies or any machinery into the upper garden. If developed, this would form the private entrance for the new house.  Planning permission  Sweden Lodge also offers an exciting and interesting development opportunity.  Consent exists to sub-divide Sweden Lodge into two thereby creating a pair of three bedroom units, these would have a Local Occupancy restriction attached meaning that the properties are occupied by a “Person with a Local Connection as his or her Only or Principal Home”. Approved drawings show the two newly created dwellings each providing a hall with cloakroom, open plan living kitchen, three double bedrooms, an ensuite shower room and family bathroom. Each will have outside space and room to park two cars.  The consent also includes permission to build a new house in the garden situated to the rear and sited above Sweden Lodge. The new dwelling would use the existing second drive off Hill Top Road thereby providing a private approach. The proposed accommodation would provide:  Ground floor – four ensuite double bedrooms and a garage with boot room under a sedum roof.  First floor – hall, a dining kitchen open plan to the main seating area, separate snug, utility room, cloakroom. Wrap around seating terrace (the views will be fabulous!) Externally the new house will be able to benefit from the already established gardens and will include the existing stone-built outbuilding.  Services Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage. Gas fired central heating from a Vaillant boiler in the utility room.  Broadband Ultrafast speeds potentially available from Openreach or Fibrus of 1000 Mbps download and for uploading 1000 Mbps.  Mobile Indoor: EE, Three, O2 and Vodaphone are reported as providing ‘limited’ services for both Voice and Data, with the exception of O2 providing a ‘likely’ Voice service.  Outdoor: EE, Three, O2 and Vodaphone are all reported as providing ‘likely’ services for both Voice and Data.  Broadband and mobile information provided by Ofcom.

Fell garth is a truly unique property, nestled above the village of Bassenthwaite, in the Lake District National Park. This Colonial styled property offers a peaceful setting with breathtaking views of Skiddaw and the surrounding fells.   This colonial-style bungalow was built of imported pitch pine between 1900 and 1904 by The Rathbone Family, prominent wood importers at that time. The property has been owned and cared for by the current family for the last 25 years. Fell Garth is located down a gravel track and offers privacy and a peaceful setting but is close to local amenities.   As soon as you step onto the veranda of this property it feels special. Entering through the large front door, the spacious hallway is flooded with light, thanks to a large roof light. High ceilings also help give this property a light and airy feel.   A generous living room offers plenty of natural light having a large expanse of windows on both external walls. A glazed door also offers access to the veranda. The original fireplace remains a focal point but is currently unused. An electric, gas or log burning stove could easily be installed here for additional heat. A semi pitched ceiling adds character and its beautifully detailed.   Heading down to the other end of the hallway, you enter the lounge which is also currently used as an office space. This room could be used for various purposes, with easy access to the kitchen via an archway. Two large sash windows offer plenty of light and lovely views of the front garden. The kitchen is a spacious area, helped by the large, glazed, doorway giving access to the veranda for alfresco dining. The kitchen units are pine with a modern worktop. Cooking is taken care of via a gas hob, ran by two large cylinders and an oven and grill is located below. A beautifully styled chimney breast sits in the centre of the room, decorated to the edges with bottle green tiles. This space currently houses two fridges but would also make a beautiful space to fit a range cooker or Aga if a new kitchen was installed.

Dating back to 1869, Grey Friar Lodge is an extremely impressive and incredibly handsome Lakeland period property, originally built for the Bishop of Penrith. Built in the traditional local manner with Lakeland stone elevations under a slated roof, it is set in private and well-kept grounds of around an acre. Commanding an excellent and truly enviable position that is gently elevated it basks in a delightful and sunny west facing aspect with breathtaking views over the gardens and the River Brathay towards Wetherlam, Black Fell and the surrounding Lakeland countryside.  This substantial residence boasts fine period features and immense character throughout, with seven generously proportioned ensuite bedrooms and four striking reception rooms. The property has been extensively and meticulously refurbished by the current owner to create a most magnificent family home with the additional benefit of a self-contained one-bedroom apartment to the lower ground floor, the ideal addition to the main residence, whether for guests or staff.  In every sense this is an absolute gem, a prestigious Lakeland residence in a secluded setting and a prime location.  A rare opportunity indeed.

Appliance wise is a Rangemaster cooker, integrated Bosch dishwasher and a microwave. A useful addition, the traditional pantry provides ample storage.

The games room is a very versatile space having scope to be a ground floor bedroom with ensuite shower room if required for less mobile family members of guests or if you were looking to future proof the house for yourselves. The study is spacious and bright having a useful built in storage cupboard.  The basement is an excellent addition to this family home, providing a self-contained one-bedroom apartment for either guests to enjoy a degree of independence or for staff to be close at hand.

Step outside Set back off the road and offering a rare degree of seclusion for such a central Lakeland location, Grey Friar Lodge is approached through electric gates to a long sweeping tarmacadam drive with strategically placed external lighting. The drive leads to a large parking area next to the house.  Encompassing this prominent period property are manicured grounds with neatly tended lawns, well established shrubs and hedges.

Welcome to 4 Ellerbank, Cowan Head, Burneside, LA8 9HX Cowan Head is a prestigious residential development like no other. Popular as both primary residences and second homes, the properties here are incomparable to anything else available in the Lake District.  This tranquil and secure residential community was created on the site of a former 18th century paper mill and has been meticulously designed and built in stages over a 25 year period to provide luxurious riverside cottages, apartments and duplexes set within 47 acres. All have exclusive access to a private stretch of the River Kent with fishing rights, a 9 hole golf course and an indoor leisure suite with swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room. From the estate, footpaths open to a network of great local walks in the wider area. Rain or shine, there is always something to do here. This exceptionally spacious second floor apartment provides extensive accommodation all on a single level. It was purchased new from the developers in 1999 by the parents of the current owners as a second home with the intention of them not only enjoying time here together but also somewhere that was large enough to easily accommodate the whole family getting together from around the country for high days, holidays and celebrations. Buying off plan, they took the opportunity to remodel slightly, the result being a layout which not only provides exceptionally generous living and bedroom space, but also provides a luxurious amount of central circulation space. Smart, stylish and elegant, this light filled apartment has been updated over the years, most recently in the last few years by the refitting all three bath and shower rooms with contemporary appointments.  The private accommodation offers an entrance hall which opens to a large central hall, with ample space for an office set up. Double doors open to a substantial and dual aspect reception room having doors to a pair of covered balconies. There’s a dining kitchen and laundry room, principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, second double bedroom with an ensuite shower room, a third double room and family shower room.  The apartment enjoys a rare double aspect with views over the rockpool, river and weir, the golf course and Kentmere fells in the background and in the opposite direction to the neighbouring fields and countryside.  A major factor in the success of this development is that, tucked away in a peaceful setting, Cowan Head is extremely easy to reach off the main A591 which runs between Kendal and Windermere and is therefore highly accessible from the M6. The privacy and exclusivity of owners residing at Cowan Head is maintained by a restriction against holiday letting throughout the site. Domestic animals are permitted within the development.    Location The beauty of Cowan Head’s quiet and highly scenic location is that it sits in a rare pocket of tranquility but surprisingly, is only a short drive to the A591 and from there the whole of the Lake District opens and is waiting to be explored and enjoyed. It is an excellent base, no wonder it has proved so popular with those seeking a main or second residence since first inception over 30 years ago.   On a practical level, the Cumbrian market town of Kendal and Lakeland town of Windermere both offer day to day amenities, supermarkets and services. Oxenholme train station on the main West Coast line is just over 8 miles distant and there are branch line stations to Burneside and Windermere if you preferred not to drive or were welcoming guests by rail.   Step inside  Take the lift or the stairs to the second floor, arriving in the lobby there’s the front door for No.4.  Stepping inside, the first thing you’ll notice is the lovely big central hallway which was remodeled by the developers to provide ample space for furniture, greeting guests and taking coats off without having to navigate a tight space. A room itself, it reflects the generosity of square footage on offer throughout the entire apartment. There’s a deep cupboard for coats and a walk-in airing cupboard with extensive shelved storage for towels and linens.   Double opening doors with beveled glass panels open to the wonderful reception room. Ideal for families and entertaining friends, this large space will easily accommodate a crowd with areas for formal dining and relaxed seating, two sets of sliding doors enabling you to spill out onto the dual aspect covered balconies, both of which have glass screens enabling the full views to be appreciated when sat inside. Both covered balconies have outside lighting and tiled floors, the one on the side elevation is a complete sun trap, and individually, this pair of outdoor areas are an absolute delight. One overlooks the neighbouring fields, the other commands an aspect of the rockpool, weir and river – bide your time and you may just get to see the salmon jumping… what a sight! The sound of the river forming an incredibly relaxing soundtrack as you peruse the weekend papers or catch up with a friend over a pot of coffee.  The kitchen has room for a dining table, ideal for breakfast or informal suppers. The seating area is carpeted and has a handy window opening to one of the balconies, so extremely convenient for passing supplies out to those enjoying the sunny outdoor seating area! The kitchen itself is extensively fitted providing super storage and housing integral appliances. A lovely place to wash up, there’s a great view across the field opposite to a row of trees along the skyline. The laundry has plumbing for a washer, space for a condenser dryer and for a second fridge or freezer if desired.  The principal bedroom suite is a generous affair, a large bedroom with extensive fitted furniture and space for a sofa. The ensuite bathroom is an absolute treat, exceptionally spacious and worthy of a boutique hotel. It was refitted in 2022 and boasts a double ended bath, large rainfall shower, twin wash bowls on a floating vanity cabinet and a loo. For finishing touches there are illuminated recesses next to the bath and shower. Different levels of lighting are on offer, perfect for enjoying a relaxing soak. The second double bedroom is also well proportioned and has a range of fitted furniture. The ensuite shower room was refitted in 2021 and comprises a large rainfall shower, floating vanity unit and loo.  The third double bedroom likewise has been fitted with furniture and is served by the family shower room which was also refitted in 2021 in the same style. There’s a large rainfall shower, floating vanity unit and loo. The bath and shower rooms all have an illuminated sensor mirror, different levels of lighting and heated towel rail. Step outside into the grounds of this fabulous and unrivalled private estate Of utmost priority at Cowan Head is the security of its residents. Set in 47 acres, the extensive grounds are accessed by a secure entry system including a remote video link from the entrance hall to the main gates and to the entrance door of the apartment block.  Gardens and grounds are well maintained by the dedicated gardening team and ensure that the estate looks its best all year round. Wherever you are on the estate there are great views, taking in the surrounding vista of the naturally rolling landscape, the fells of the Kentmere Valley and the stunning River Kent which flows through the development with rock pools and the weir. Herons, ducks and kingfishers have been regularly spotted over the years, even salmon in the river – there are fishing rights included for all residents.   One of the main draws of the Cowan Head estate is the leisure facilities available exclusively for residents. There is an indoor swimming pool with surrounding seating terrace, spa, steam room and sauna. A huge bonus of life in Ellerbank compared to some of the other blocks is that there is internal access to the pool so on grey rainy Lake District day (yes, they have been known to happen!) you can walk straight from your front door to the pool side in your bath robe without encountering the outside elements. Perfect!  The estate also offers an exclusive 9 hole golf course.  Two private parking spaces sit beneath the Ellerbank building and there are additional, unassigned spaces available for visitors elsewhere on the estate.
