Make your way up the steps that lead to a neatly landscaped entrance featuring raised wooden planters with a seating area.

Step through the pretty front door and into the warmth and comforts of Old Village House.

The staircase ahead invites you to explore the upper floors, but first, take the step to your left and make your way into the large dining room.

Natural light streams through the casement window, part of the 'heritage range' fitted throughout the home. Together with the composite front and rear doors, it offers all the benefits of double glazing while preserving the home's architectural charm.
Take a seat at the large table, where neutral décor, wall-mounted lights, and a feature pendant ensure the lighting is always perfect, setting the mood for any occasion.

Hidden Retreat
Return to the hallway, where an upward-swinging door beside the seating area leads to a spacious and versatile basement. Descend the wooden steps to discover white panelled walls and wooden floor with bespoke fitted seating. Wonderfully adaptable, this is a space with endless possibilities. Transform it into a cinema room, a home gym, an office or simply leave it as it is, another space in which to relax and entertain.

Return to the hallway and freshen up in the shower room, comprising a WC, washbasin, heated towel rail and corner shower before making your way into the living room.

Warm wooden floors extend underfoot, and with plenty of space for sofas and armchairs, this is a flexible room, perfect for entertaining large groups or enjoying cosy evenings by the glow of the log burner.

Flow through into the kitchen, taking the steps down and peeping into the storage cupboard as you pass, where a decorative tiled floor makes easy work of any spills or muddy paws. Appliances include a dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven and fridge freezer.
With ample space for a central table and chairs, surrounded by worktops and cabinetry, this is a kitchen that is both functional and sociable.

Take a seat at the table and chat with the chef as treats are prepared and enjoy casual family meals. A glazed door leads to the private courtyard and provides another entry point into the home. Perfect for dining alfresco, the courtyard has plenty of room for a table and chairs beneath the pergola, along with extra seating.

Rest and Relax
Retrace your steps back to the main entrance and ascend the staircase to the upper floor.

Turn left into a large double bedroom, with a window overlooking the courtyard and filling the room in natural light. Flow through into the en-suite, taking the steps down into a large space comprising a WC, corner shower, heated towel rail, washbasin, and large claw foot bath. A skylight fills the room in natural light, and contemporary textured wall and floor tiles add to the spa-like sanctuary.

Retrace your steps and turn right to ascend the spiral staircase that leads to a large bedroom on the upper floor. Complete with large bathtub, ready to be filled to the brim with bubbles for a long soak before climbing into bed. Make your way into the en-suite featuring a WC, heated towel rail and washbasin.

Return to the landing, continue up the stairs that lead to another double bedroom with vaulted ceiling and plenty of space for storage and seating. The en-suite, contemporary in design, features a WC, washbasin, heated towel rail, shower and freestanding bath.
The boarded loft storage area, complete with lighting, is easily accessed from the second floor.

Beautifully renovated, this perfectly placed three-story home in the heart of the Windermere, with private parking and courtyard, is ready to become your ideal Lake District retreat.

Gardens and Grounds
Step outside and discover the charm of Old Village House's outdoor spaces, thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and practicality.
To the front of the home, a private driveway offers rare and valuable off-street parking for up to 2 cars, ensuring convenience in the heart of bustling Windermere.

Just outside the front door, a seating area invites you to soak in the surroundings, whether with a morning coffee as the village stirs to life or an evening glass of wine as the sun goes down before heading off to one of the many restaurants.

Toward the rear of the home, the enclosed private courtyard brims with possibilities.

Here, comfortable outdoor furniture creates an idyllic spot to unwind, bask in the morning sunshine, or share alfresco meals with family and friends. Host barbeques and social gatherings where everyone can relax before heading out to the many bars of Windermere that are all on the doorstep.

Out and About
From your doorstep, the vibrant village of Windermere unfolds. Step outside to stroll along the bustling streets and discover the many cafes, restaurants and independent shops.

Pop into Homeground cafe for some perfectly brewed coffee and a slice of cake, then lose yourself in an art gallery or pick up some sweet treats from Sugarfinery. Just 2 minutes away, Booths have all your essentials covered, and for some leisurely evening refreshments, why not stroll over to the Crafty Baa, voted best pub in England by the AA?

With so many walks from the door, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring the outdoors. Hike up to Orrest Head, where the panoramic stunning views of Lake Windermere and the fells await, or make your way over to School Knott, a lesser-known hike that delivers excellent views from the top.

Families are well served with a variety of schools close by, including the independent Windermere School, and with the train station just around the corner, exploring and travelling further afield is a breeze.
Head over to Kendal to watch a film or show at the Brewery Arts Centre, take a dip in the pool at the leisure centre or spend the afternoon shopping. Enjoy a spot of fine dining at The Old Stamp House in Ambleside, just a 15-minute drive away or make your way over to Grasmere to get some of the famous gingerbread.
