Waternook, and it's beautiful 4-bedroom separate annexe (Great Barn), stands in 27 acres with a half-mile stretch of private shoreline access to England's second largest lake. The awe-inspiring views of the surrounding landscape can be seen from the luxurious 6-bedroom home that stands over two floors with open-plan dining and kitchen, spacious lounge and terraced gardens. Currently, a highly regarded holiday let that has been awarded numerous accolades, but it now awaits a family to call it home.

Wend your way down the north edge of the lake, from Pooley Bridge, into the tranquil depths of the 27 acres of the Waternook Estate, at the foot of Hallin Fell.

Find plenty of parking on the driveway in front of the home where you can spy the top of Great Barn, where guests can stay but is also ideal for multigenerational families.

Step into the practical entryway, protecting you from the elements as well as being welcoming and homely with glazing to all sides. Doff your boots and coats before venturing in further.

Waternook might well be a beautiful historic home but it is also firmly set in the 21st Century with a state-of-the-art 9-zone SONOS invisible multi-room system complemented by KEF in-ceiling speakers.

As you make your way around the home you will note, not just it's setting, but also the contemporary sophisticated and stylish interior styling and intricate details that make this home one-of-a-kind.

Comfort and elegance continues into the spacious living room where three bay windows to the front and side frame the surrounding countryside. The attention to detail is apparent from first entering, decorated with rich wallpaper and the finest Brintons carpets underfoot flanking the hardwood walk way that leads up and into the hallway. A lounge of two halves; one part focusing towards the natural Lakeland stone hearth of the log burner, where you can gather with family on a cold winter's evening. The other acts as a reading area - sink down into the sumptuous sofas and catch up on the next chapter with the lake lapping in the distance.

A door to the left takes you into a private cinema room; enjoy family movies nights in front of the huge screen.

Through the cinema room, you will find access to not just the boot room but also a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, an ideal retreat for visiting guests.

Return to the hardwood flooring of the living room and ascend the three steps into the hallway.

Here pop your head into the handy boot room, to the left, an ideal spot for storing your outdoor gear as you can get access to the rear of the home and onto the fells. A separate WC stands in the corner.

To the other side of the hallway, be drawn forward into the long open-plan kitchen-diner with high beamed ceilings. A sociable kitchen indeed, built and designed by Atlantis Kitchens, the integral island, creating both storage, cooking, prepping and washing space, facing the far-reaching views through the wall of glazing and bi-fold doors - cooking will never be a chore!

Fitted with two ovens, a microwave and bean-to-cup coffee machine. Fridge freezer and all your necessary appliances this is a spot to relish, whether to cook, entertain or simply to enjoy morning coffee at the large dining-table that can seat 12.

Open the bi-folds and allow the inside and outside to flow as one, as you extend the entertaining and living space onto the terrace.

Retrace your steps to the hallway and ascend the oak staircase with glazed balustrades to the first floor.

Here, lies four good-sized double bedrooms, stylishly finished and promising not just plenty of storage but also a good night's sleep with tranquil outlooks over the landscape. They each boast deluxe en-suite shower rooms.

In addition, to the left, you will find the most impressive principle bedroom. Enter, initially into the en-suite bathroom, where steps lead up to the elevated curved bathtub - a sleek spot to soak. There is also a WC and walk-in shower hidden out of sight.

The master bedroom is an airy and calming space to rest your head and with the dual aspect bay windows framing the idyllic scenery, it is quite a room to wake up in.

A second staircase, gives access down to the ground floor and as well as into the bar complete with Laconium sauna.

Make your way across to 17th Century converted barn, where luxury and sophistication continues. You really need not do anything, simply move in and unpack your belongings!

The 4-bedroom barn acts as an extension to the home, perfect for visiting guests or extended family to have a place of their own. Discover the most beautiful blend of rustic charm, high-end finishes, picturesque views and 21st Century amenities. From the en-suite bathrooms to the 6-zone Sonos speaker system, large games room or the state of the art contemporary kitchen, complete with induction hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer and the split-level living, the Great Barn is the epitome of form and comfort.

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens, just like the home, command breathtaking views over the lake complemented by half a mile of private shoreline, with a boathouse and private jetty for you to set sail from. When not on or in the water, you will be able to take leisurely strolls wandering through the surrounding fields or perhaps taking part in a family game of cricket or rounders on the open lawn on the water's edge.

Spend evenings sitting on the terrace having BBQs, relaxing in the hot tub or entertaining friends and family in the bar and sauna.

Potted plants add a depth of colour to these easily maintainable spaces leaving you time to soak in the beauty of the National Park on long walks and leisurely brunches in the abundance of good eateries.

The Barn opens onto a paved patio, a simple table and chairs and you are ready for morning coffee or an afternoon nap in the sun.
Feel safe and secure with the security gated access and CCTV.

Keswick not only has plenty of routes for walking and cycling but also a vibrant community including an integral high-street, filled with independent shops, cafes and eateries as well as a weekly market where you can pick up an array of goodies to stock up the pantry.
