Built in the 1900's this former Gentlemans residence and hotel was converted into luxury apartments in circa 1990.

With 3.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds including an all weather tennis court, small putting green and a summer house and bandstand.

Meadowcroft overlooks Windermere, England's largest lake, over 10 miles in length and Storrs derived it's name from a Norman family who moved to Windermere after the Norman conquest. In 1890 George Henry Pattinson bought Storrs Park estate (but not the Hall) and started building elegant private homes on his estate. During 400 years the Pattinson family have built some of the finest properties around Windermere and have played an important part in the growth and development of the area.

This one bedroomed apartment is situated on the first floor with telephone entry system and communal entrance and briefly comprises of entrance hall having a handy built in cupboard, living room overlooking the communal gardens and having views to Lake Windermere and the Lakeland fells, kitchen with appliances of integrated Indesit electric oven and built in Neff gas hob with Neff extractor fan over. Neff Integrated fridge and freezer and space for washing machine and also having views to Lake Windermere and the Lakeland Fells. 1 double bedroom and shower room with WC, inset wash basin and vanity unit and shower.
It is somewhat bigger than a normal 1 bedroomed apartment and actually compares quite favourably for size when comparing with two bedroomed apartments. Indeed with some internal re-organisation by "moving" the kitchen area into the large living room, the kitchen would be a second bedroom (subject to the necessary consents).

Outside are the well maintained communal gardens, shared tennis court, bandstand which is currently used for storage of bikes etc, shared small putting green. The flat has 1 allocated parking space, with extra visitors parking available, along with an EV charging point (this belongs to one of the owners but is available to anyone staying at Meadowcroft for a nominal charge and by pre arrangement).

Please note that the fixtures and fittings are available under separate negotiation. The sofa in the living room pulls out as a bed settee.
