Location Beautifully located on the quiet road which links Grasmere with Elterwater, Silver Beck may be approached from the centre of Grasmere village from the direction of Ambleside by taking the left hand turn just past St Oswald's church (where William Wordsworth is buried) passing the Grasmere Gather/ Thirteen Valley café on your left. Continue along Red Bank Road for a distance of around half a mile, and the shared entrance driveway (sign for Silver How) is found on the right hand side. Enter between the short stone pillars and continue up the shared drive, passing Silver How on your left winding your way up as the driveway becomes steeper. Note.There is an acute bend just after Silver How so low gear and care to be taken. Silver Beck is at the top with magnificent views as your reward. Parking on the driveway in front of the garage.

Description This attractive detached home in its elevated position overlooking Grasmere lake, is wonderfully bright and offers adaptable accommodation with truly superb fell and lake views, as well as the added bonus of lake shore access. Quietly placed far enough out of Grasmere Village so as not to be troubled by the hustle and bustle, and yet within strolling distance for a drink or two or perhaps an evening meal, the accommodation design features heavily on large windows letting in plenty of light and opening up those marvellous views.

Entered via an entrance hallway which leads to two spacious double bedrooms as well as a useful snug/hobby room which has access to a generously sized undercroft - ideal for storing larger family items. The three piece bathroom is situated on this level, having tilled walls and floor it includes a panel bath with Mira shower over, a pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

The open tread timber stairway leads to the first floor landing and beyond to the dual aspect lounge with picture window and external glazed door to the balcony where the spectacular fell and lake views can really be appreciated fully - ideal for that morning coffee, or perhaps a glass of something cool at the end of the day. There is a separate bright dining room enjoying woodland views and having a glazed external door to the flagged patio area, another ideal spot to relax in such tranquil surroundings. The kitchen has tiled walls and floor, and is fitted with country style wall and base units with complementary work surface having integrated Franke sink and drainer, there is also a Belling 5 ring gas stove and a Siemens dishwasher. The utility room just beyond has plumbing for an automatic washing machine, a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and an external door.

The primary bedroom is dual aspect with picture window and external glazed door to the balcony with yet more breath taking views including fell, lake and surrounding countryside - truly idyllic. Additionally there is a shower unit in a corner unit, and a wash basin.

Outside, the boiler room provides storage for garden and outdoor equipment and houses the Ideal gas boiler. The garden wraps around the property, and is simply beautiful - private and tranquil in equal measure and full of birdlife and more than the occasional visiting red squirrel, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the babbling brook. Also included in the sale is a strip of land with private lake shore access, this is a real delight, and opportunities to purchase such are rare indeed - don't miss out, come and see for yourself.

Ideal Holiday Letting Opportunity Silver Beck is located in one of the most desirable locations in the UK for holiday rental accommodation. This property offers scope to be developed in to a highly successful and much sought after holiday let. The property offers the owner the potential to develop the property to suit their own needs and we would estimate that a gross annual rental income of £35,000 could quickly be achieved. We do believe that there is the opportunity to grow this further based on good reviews, repeat bookings and the correct presentation. There are examples of similar size properties in the Grasmere area achieving in excess of £50,000pa when presented, priced and marketed correctly.
