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.

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. Location Offering an exceptionally private and secluded setting, this is an enviable and extremely sought after location, within walking distance of the ever popular and bustling town of Ambleside. Popular with residents and holiday makers alike, the picturesque town boasts an abundance of cafés, restaurants and a wide range of independent shops as well as strong provision of local amenities.

The cloakroom provides plenty of space for coats and boots with a loo and wash hand basin.  The spacious sitting room is positioned to the front of the property, the bay window enjoying fabulous river and garden views. Set within a mahogany mantle with a marble hearth is an open fire with an inset electric fire.  Beautifully proportioned, the dining room also commands excellent views over the river and towards Wetherlam with the additional benefit of external access onto the veranda and outside seating terrace. If you were enticed by the idea of more contemporary open plan living then there’s potential (subject to the necessary consents) to open the dining room into the kitchen to create a large sociable dual aspect living kitchen.  As it stands, the attractive kitchen is well equipped with cabinets and has a traditional double Belfast sink and a practical breakfast seating area. Appliance wise is a Rangemaster cooker, integrated Bosch dishwasher and a microwave. A useful addition, the traditional pantry provides ample storage. The rear hall has a secondary staircase to the first floor and a larder cupboard with external access. The striking conservatory offers lovely views over the garden, with exposed stone wall, internal raised beds and French doors opening to the garden terrace. 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. It benefits from its own private entrance, but also has an internal door from the main residence. Accommodation comprises a double bedroom, shower room, cloakroom and an open plan living kitchen. The plant room is also located on this floor housing the boiler and cylinders. The grand original pitch pine staircase rises to a split-level landing passing a large stained-glass window on the way.

The principal rooms enjoy wonderful Lakeland views over the garden and river to the fells beyond. There is also a large family bathroom to the first floor with a spa bath, separate shower unit, wash basin and loo. The laundry area is spacious and practically located with a good range of fitted units, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The second floor has magnificent views over the Brathay valley and beyond; this floor could be redesigned to accommodate a stunning master bedroom suite spanning the entire floor. 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. Amounting to around an acre, the generous outside space offers something for all the family; an adventure playground for children and a haven for relaxation for the grown-ups with an elevated west facing seating terrace having an attractive veranda, the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine in the evening watching the sun setting over the river and the distant hills.  Purposefully designed to be relatively low maintenance, those with green fingers will spot the opportunity to landscape further and create additional beds, possibly a kitchen garden or orchard.

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. A useful, private and lockable storeroom can be found on this level too, ideal for golf clubs, outdoor kit and the like, plus there is a communal bike store.  Services Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage. Gas fired central heating and hot water from a Vaillant boiler in the kitchen capable of control remotely via HIVE. Lutron mood lighting in the main reception room.

Location is key for Mallards. Nestled in leafy surrounding and elevated above Lake Windermere, this south and west facing detached house enjoys a sunny aspect and fabulous views as well as sunsets over the Lake to the undulating fells beyond. Tucked away, this is a remarkably quiet and peaceful location, it’s hard to believe that it lies midway between the bustling resorts of Ambleside and Windermere providing an exceptionally central location, excellent for reaching and enjoying all that the unparalleled Lake District has to offer. Holbeck Close is an exclusive cul-de-sac of six individual detached houses, all dating back to the late 1970s/early 1980s. Since new it has been a much-loved home for successive generations of the same family, it would now be fair to say that Mallards is ready for an overhaul and whilst the fabric of the property has been well maintained it would benefit from a refurbishment. The layout, space and light would all lend themselves to a contemporary scheme bringing in the best of modern design and digital smart home enhancements. The accommodation offers an open plan entrance, dining hall, a striking main reception room with mezzanine area. There is a kitchen, utility room and cloakroom. There are three primary bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, a second having an ensuite shower room and the third having use of the house bathroom. Positioned off the main living area is a versatile room, currently a fourth bedroom, it could also be a snug, home office or playroom. Continuing the feeling of openness and space, informal gardens surround the house, the drive provides parking and there is a single garage. All in all, it’s a generous plot of 0.6 acres. Preserving the overall seclusion, privacy and tranquility of Holbeck Close, a clause within the deeds of all six properties prevents them from being let for holiday use. It’s a small but important point and maintains the exclusivity of this development. Location Far from the madding crowd, this is a quiet and tranquil location. Commanding an elevated setting there are fabulous views that encompass the high peaks from Great Howe Crag all the way round to Esk Pike, taking in Black Sails, Cold Pike, Pike of Blisco, Gunson Knott, Symonds Knott and Bow Fell in between. Holbeck Close is entered through impressive stone pillars, the attractive and gently curved driveway rising through open plan gardens towards the houses. There are six properties, all individually designed and positioned to retain individual privacy and enjoy the extra special views that this unique setting offers.  Midway between Ambleside and Windermere this is a super position for full or part time living. In the heart of unrivalled walking country, it is also handy for schools, shops and local amenities in both towns and benefits from ready access to a fabulous choice of places in which to dine out; establishments offering everything from a light bite to Michelin starred fine dining. The advantage of life in the centre of such a popular tourist destination is being able to enjoy facilities year round – cinema, live music, theatre and a wide array of visitor attractions.  The vendors tell us that between the owners at Holbeck Close there is a great sense of community; helpful and friendly whilst respectful of each other’s privacy.  Step inside  The main living area is open plan, all set under the high apex of the roof – it’s a dramatic space and one with an undeniable wow factor. Perfect for family life and one which really comes into its own if you choose to open your doors to friends. The front door leads to an entrance area off which there is a cloakroom with space for hanging coats and a separate loo. The entrance extends into the dining area with five steps ascending to the vast reception room – space, light and above all, views. It’s a truly wonderful room. With a slated surround there is an open fireplace and a set of pine open riser steps up to a mezzanine area; it’s a lovely place to read or catch up on email correspondence. Sliding glazed doors open to the glass fronted balcony with plenty of room for outdoor furniture – this is a relatively new addition to Mallards and has transformed the outside space as it effectively has created another room – the views are fabulous, the sunsets divine. No wonder the owners have enjoyed it so much.  Positioned off the main living area is a versatile room – currently used as a fourth bedroom it could equally well be a snug, home office or a playroom if you had little ones. As a glazed door opens to the wrap around balcony it has created a circular flow.  Although a little dated in many respects the kitchen is extensively fitted and would certainly set you on as you made your own future design choices. It has tantalizing lake glimpses in the summer, with a better view of the water and fells when the leaves are down. There’s one bedroom off the dining area with an ensuite shower room which enjoys a view of the lake.    The main bedroom accommodation is on the lower ground floor. Central is a hall with a useful under stairs cupboard. The dual aspect primary bedroom suite has a picture window and will enjoy winter views of the lake; this bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. There’s a second double bedroom on this floor (with a leafy outlook and glimpses of the lake becoming more pronounced during winter) and a house bathroom. Completing the layout on the lower ground floor is the utility room. There’s a sink unit, storage cupboards, plumbing for a washing machine and as the boiler is here it makes a good wet weather entrance and place to dry off outdoor boots and coats on the ceiling mounted airer.   All in all, Mallards offers light, views, space and excellent potential to bring it up to date with a refurbishment reflecting your own specification and taste.  Step outside When the plans for the development now known as Holbeck Close were first drawn and submitted for planning permission the scheme was for eight houses, these were rejected, and a more modest scheme of six houses gained approval. The result is that a few of the houses on the close have effectively the benefit of a double plot. Mallards is one such fortunate house with a generous garden surrounding the property and then across the drive, an equally generous second lower garden. In total, the gardens measure 0.6 acres. In the top garden around the house there are beech hedges to the east and west and a further hedge to the north. Daffodils grow through the grass by the balcony and look lovely from the bedroom. Whilst open plan to the drive, there is a fenced and gated area to the side with a small freshwater stream, ideal if you have a dog as it enables them to be let out from the kitchen door and to be secure. The lower garden includes a pond around which daffodils grow in spring and where a variety of flowering shrubs provide pops of colour. Within this lower garden a striking feature is an imposing set of garden steps, which previously formed part of the formal gardens of the neighbouring Lakeland residence, Cringlemire. Whilst they effectively don’t lead anywhere, they are a most delightful feature harking back to a bygone era of English country house landscape design.  Looking over both gardens and with a panoramic view that takes in fells and Lake Windermere is the fabulous contemporary wrap around glass fronted balcony.  To the rear of the house is a private drive which provides parking and leads to the single detached garage which has an up and over door, power, light and water.  Overall, the relatively informal garden is intended to be as low in upkeep terms as possible with little to do other than keep on top of the grass, and periodically trim the hedges and shrubs. This leaves more time to enjoy a spot of rest and relaxation on the balcony and for getting out and exploring the great outdoors on your doorstep. Services Mains electricity and water. Oil fired central heating from a combination Worcester boiler in the utility room, controllable via a HIVE mobile application. Private drainage to a septic tank located within the top garden.  Broadband Superfast speeds potentially available from Openreach of 53 Mbps download and for uploading 10 Mbps.

Location is everything and Myrtlefield benefits from an enviable setting in the highly sought after and prestigious residential neighbourhood of Storrs Park. With views of Lake Windermere, the house enjoys the benefits of a quiet position but remains highly accessible, whether by car or on foot, for the bustling resort of Bowness-on-Windermere so that a multitude of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and sports amenities as well as Windermere Marina are at your disposal.  Sunsets are often glorious here, really uplifting, this bright and sunny house enjoys a westerly aspect and is both well maintained and immaculately presented; accommodation is appointed to a high specification and rooms have good proportions. On the ground floor, the living space offers a large entrance porch opening to a double height spacious hall, sitting room, dining room and breakfast kitchen as well as two ensuite double bedrooms. Upstairs, off the first floor landing, the principal bedroom has a dressing room and an ensuite and there is a fourth double bedroom, also with an ensuite.  The garage will house two cars and sits under a fabulous roof terrace and a useful under croft provides excellent storage. The slightly elevated position affords views of Lake Windermere and the generous gardens offer privacy as well as a day-long sunny aspect. Well maintained and amply stocked, the gardens surround Myrtlefield and offer a choice of seating areas and great parking provision.   This is a thoroughly lovely home, whether for full or part time living and would happily suit family life or a couple, whether professional or retired, looking to spread out and embrace the space to host family and friends or possibly work from home.  Location Location is paramount when it comes to choosing your perfect property and Myrtlefield is fortunate as it enjoys a choice setting as well. Whilst there are neighbours on Christmas Lane and the adjacent Meadowcroft Lane the spacing of the individual detached properties is such that there is no compromise on privacy. Over the gardens and through the trees there are views of Lake Windermere to the fells beyond.  The location is perfectly suited for those looking to enjoy the best of Lake District life whilst still benefiting from all that a quiet residential area has to offer. Located just off the A592 it’s easy to find and is within walking or cycling distance of Bowness putting all the great amenities of this honeypot Lakeland resort within easy reach – numerous cafes, bars and restaurants, the cinema, a theatre and plenty of galleries and shops. For groceries, there are branches of Tesco and Co-op in Bowness itself and in Windermere you’ll find regional favourite Booths and Sainsbury’s. In terms of fresh air and fun, whilst the fells are all around ready for exploration, there are also some super walks right from the door so there’s no need to use the car, just pop your boots on and get going. For water sports enthusiasts you are conveniently placed for access to the marina.  If you enjoy eating out, then the immediate area is blessed with some fantastic country pubs as well as restaurants offering cuisines from around the world in Bowness and Windermere. If you are seeking a venue to mark special occasion, then there are a host of Michelin Star restaurants to try at High Newton, Cartmel, Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere.  You’re truly spoiled for choice! Myrtlefield enjoys a location that is highly accessible. Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkshead and Coniston are all within comfortable reach for day trips and if a greater choice of shops is needed then the Cumbrian market town of Kendal is just under 10 miles away. Junction 36 is the nearest access to the M6 and if travelling by train there is a branch line station at Windermere or drive over to Oxenholme which lies on the main west coast line.  If moving into the area with children, then there is a good selection of primary, state and independent schools in the Windermere area making this the perfect option for a main residence.  You’re really in the centre of things here – Myrtlefield offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a well-rounded Lake District lifestyle. Step inside  Built in 1985 for the previous owners, the vendors bought Myrtlefield in 1997. In their time they have built the garage, on top of which sits an imaginative roof terrace and converted what were attic rooms into a principal bedroom suite. This is a versatile space and whilst it was designed as a bedroom, dressing room and shower room, it has been put to other uses over the years.    Generously light throughout, the well-proportioned accommodation also affords super views over the garden and neighbouring properties to Lake Windermere from the rooms on the front elevation as well as from the enviable roof terrace. Right through the house the window provision is plentiful with PVC framed double glazing for ease of maintenance. The front door is oak with glazed panels either side and makes for an impressive entrance as does the spacious hallway which in part is double height, the hall floor is laid with oak boards and all sockets and switches in the hall, and indeed, throughout the ground floor and in the principal bedroom suite, have a smart chrome finish.  The sitting room is formal and elegant with a cream enamel wood burning stove set under an oak lintel. Providing a great flow around the house the dining room is accessed from both the sitting room and the kitchen. The kitchen has space for a table (perfect for breakfast as it’s a sunny room in the mornings) and has extensive fitted cabinets, a useful laundry cupboard, a drying cupboard (wonderful in wet weather for drying outdoor clothing) and double opening glazed doors out to the main garden which is situated at the rear of the house. Subject to the necessary consents, you may look to combine the kitchen and dining room to create an open plan living kitchen.  The bedroom accommodation is split with two en suite rooms located on the ground floor and two more on the first floor. We find that this is always a popular configuration as it works well with house guests, older children and also provides a degree of future proofing with the option to live on one level available without alteration. The west facing bedroom enjoys a lake view (how wonderful to lie in bed, cup of tea to hand and gaze out at this fabulous vista) has fitted furniture and an en-suite with a large shower, wash basin and loo. A second double room also has fitted furniture and an en suite bathroom, refitted with a contemporary suite there is a double ended bath, a vanity wash basin and a loo.  Rising to the first floor and off the landing is a third double bedroom, this one also commanding a super view of Lake Windermere and with an extensive range of fitted furniture. The en-suite has been refitted with a stylish suite of a double ended bath, a floating vanity wash basin and a loo; it’s possible to lie in the bath and enjoy a westerly view as the sun sets over Claife Heights opposite – magical!  Whilst designed as a principal bedroom suite, the final rooms on our tour are a versatile arrangement depending on what you need from your accommodation. At one point the owners of the house worked from home and so the dressing room became an office and the bedroom was utilised as a meeting room. The dressing room is still used as an office but these days the bedroom is now a great TV room where sofa beds can provide additional sleeping quarters if needed. Enter through the fully fitted dressing room where a large Velux skylight is just the right height to admire the back garden. There are two additional higher skylights, bringing in extra light from above making it a lovely, bright space. The ensuite shower room is contemporary and stylish with a large cubicle, floating washbasin and a loo. The bedroom commands a view of the lake as well as a striking south facing oriel window. There is eaves storage in both of the first floor bedrooms which is far more accessible than the loft for stowing suitcases and Christmas decorations.  Step outside The neatly tended garden is enclosed within well-established beech hedges; arrive at Myrtlefield, pull into the gravel parking area and the first impressions are of a smart, restrained and thoughtfully landscaped exterior. Topiary is planted behind neat box hedges and slate steps rise to the front door and the creatively designed roof terrace which sits atop the garage. The garage has an electric up and over door, internal power, light and water and space for two cars. A door at the back leads through into the side garden where there is access to the garden cellar, an undercroft providing excellent storage with power and light. A paved slate path has been laid around the house which, in places, extends into wider areas for seating. As there are no large trees within the garden Myrtlefield enjoys a sunny setting with the sun moving around the house as the day progresses. Seating areas have been incorporated into the landscaping with this in mind.  The surrounding beech hedge ensures it’s totally private in the back garden, basking in the morning and midday sun it is perfect for a morning coffee or lunch outside on the paved area immediately outside the kitchen. The owners tell us that they enjoy a first cup of tea or taking breakfast out here when the weather allows as it’s so sheltered and secluded with only the chirping birds for company. A raised bed runs around this area enabling greater appreciation of the planting at eye level. Planting in the back garden embraces the owners’ love o...

Cherry Garth is a wonderful opportunity to buy a detached 3 bedroom property with huge potential and further scope to remodel. In a tranquil setting, in the heart of the pretty hamlet of Brigsteer in a picturesque rural setting with some stunning long reaching views down the valley from the property and its balcony. The property occupies a generous plot of 0.3 acres which encompass ample parking, shed, tiered lawned gardens, and a pond.  The property is designed with the living and bedroom accommodation on the first floor level with access out from the rear porch to the patio area and to the ground floor there is a large integral garage, laundry room, large store room with sliding patio doors and an entrance hall with spiral stairs leading up to the first floor living room. Location Lanes of quaint cottages, well-kept barn conversions, the occasional more recently built home and colourful gardens, Brigsteer is an exceptionally attractive village in the Lyth Valley, within the Lake District National Park. The gently undulating valley is well known for its damson orchards; in early spring, the distinctive frothy clouds of white blossom grace the fields and are a frequent sight, by autumn the trees are laden with the purple fruits and it is time for harvest.  Along with Brigsteer, at the heart of the valley are the picturesque villages of Winster, Crook, Crosthwaite, Underbarrow and Witherslack, all being connected by a network of lanes, bridleways and footpaths. Collectively this is a sought-after place to live and no wonder, it offers a delightfully rural but exceptionally accessible country lifestyle; all the advantages without any of the inaccessibility. The Lyth Valley is easy to reach off the M6 via the A590 and with a station on the main West Coast railway line at Oxenholme (Kendal) it offers great connectivity for the road and rail network.  The valley feels a world away from the noise and crowds of the busy Lakeland villages of Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Hawkshead but they remain close enough to dip into for day trips should the fancy take you. Windermere and Bowness are easy to reach for schooling and daily essentials ensuring that life in the valley is more about community and embracing quiet country living.  Brigsteer has a pub and a modern village hall which hosts a variety of groups and classes. In nearby Levens (2.1 miles distant) there is a shop, pub and school.  Step Inside Stone steps to a covered walkway lead to the front door, which leads into a spacious hall with wooden flooring and wall lighting and a spiral staircase, a downstairs store room with huge potential to be adapted offers further scope for bedrooms or hobby space, and from the hall a convenient connecting door into the large garage with laundry room. The living area is a great space combining a dining area and sitting room making it a social space to eat and relax, all with great views over the Lyth Valley. The living room has a wooden floor throughout and an electric style wood burner set within a marble surround.

A distinguished Lakeland detached residence believed to date back to the 1930s and built by renowned Windermere builder G H Pattinson, over the years it has been extended, remodelled and upgraded to now present beautifully as an extensive and flexible Lakeland home where there is over 3400 sq ft of well proportioned accommodation on offer that is both perfect for family life and those that love to entertain. Welcome to Birkett Hill House, Birkett Hill, Bowne Approaching through a largely glazed porch into a generous reception hall with cloakroom, there are three dedicated reception rooms, a separate study and a large living kitchen with useful utility room. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which has the option of a separate entrance so would be ideal for guests or a dependent relative, especially a boomerang young adult! To the first floor is a fabulous principal bedroom suite which leads out to a stunning and very spacious balcony, also on this floor are two further double bedrooms. In terms of bath and shower rooms, in total there are three ensuites and a family bathroom. The gardens are an absolute delight. Level with the house are Lakeland paved seating terraces and a great lawn perfect for children with paths leading down to lower levels. The parking is just what you’d want for a family house – there’s plenty of space as well as room for a boat or camper van. To cap it all is the setting. In an elevated position Birkett Hill Houses rises above the hustle and bustle of this exceptionally central location. We found ourselves having to pinch ourselves and remember just how handy it was for everything. It’s also the seclusion. Trees and shrubs seem to wrap around the garden so the privacy is immense. If you are looking for detached, private, spacious and central Bowness, Birkett Hill House ticks a lot of boxes. Location As someone, somewhere once said, “location, location, location”. Birkett Hill House scores highly in this department. 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. Step inside 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. The hallway becomes an inner hall with bookcase and store cupboards. There’s the first of two ground floor bedrooms, a double with fitted wardrobes. Three steps lead down to a side entrance; if you were looking for a layout that leant itself towards being self contained, possibly for a returning young adult or an older family member then this would work well as it provides convenient access to a suite comprising a double bedroom, ensuite bathroom and a walk in wardrobe/store. A super light stairwell leads to the first floor landing with a walk in wardrobe. The principle bedroom is an absolute treat and rightly so. It’s spacious and has a contemporary ensuite bathroom with a separate large shower. The bedroom has a dormer window with views over to Claife Heights, but thanks to sliding doors creating a dual aspect there is also a view north which includes Lake Windermere itself, and, wait for it, there is access to a large private balcony. You can lie in bed and see the lake. How wonderful would that be? The vast balcony is absolutely fabulous. Incredibly private it offers a unique vantage point. We can just imagine a morning cup of tea here in warmer weather and as for a sundowner or two as you watch the sun set over the fells, well, trust us, you’ll want to make it invitation only, to be shared with only your favourite people! There are two more double bedrooms on the first floor; the larger of the two has fitted furniture and a contemporary ensuite shower room. The third room has use of the house bathroom. There are excellent views from both of these rooms too, nobody will be left out! Space. Light. Views. This is a very special house indeed. Step outside Electric gates open to a block paved drive which then in turn extends to a very generous parking area. You’ll need space, because trust us, friends and family will want to visit! There are traditional Lakeland paved terraces leading out from the house, these transition to a lawn which is level and perfect for children. At the furthest point is the primary seating area, a semi circular terrace which echoes the bay windows on the front elevation. This is where you’ll want to spend most of your time. Perfect for relaxing in the sun, the views to the fells are captivating and the aspect back to the house is delightful. Framed by a low stone wall on which sit railings, steps lead down either side to a lower garden area, paths then weave back. With so much privacy and seclusion, you’ll have to remind yourself to remember how near you are to the throng of bustling Bowness.
