2 Woodland Grove, Windermere, LA23 2BT

Woodland Grove comprises a short terrace of three properties each offering three storey accommodation with white painted roughcast elevations under a traditional slated roof. With plenty of personality No.2 is the middle cottage and is full of character and charm with period features throughout such as a flagged floor on the ground floor, wide stripped pine floor boards upstairs, period fireplaces and painted boarded doors, exposed roof timbers and an exposed and painted stone wall.

The cottage has been modernized in a gentle, sympathetic and tasteful fashion to complement the original features; a heritage style suite has been chosen for the bathroom, sliding sash PVC windows and to bring just the right amount of modern convenience there is a contemporary range of kitchen fittings with integral appliances. The cottage would make a great first or second home and with an undeniable charm it will no doubt appeal to the holiday lettings market.

Exceptionally conveniently placed, Woodland Grove is tucked away off the main thoroughfare making it a quiet and very accessible place to live. From here you can walk into Windermere and slightly further afield but still within walking distance is Bowness on Windermere. Between the two village centres you’ll have access to a wide variety of shops, a whole host of places to eat and drink and general amenities such as doctors, dentists, opticians, vets and Post Offices. In Bowness there is a three screen cinema and a theatre. There is easy access to a network of footpaths straight from the door, including great walks up Orrest Head and School Knott close at hand.
