Main roads lead up to quieter lanes and onto Windermere Park, a peaceful crescent of spacious, detached homes, which are mainly owner occupied, cultivating a true sense of community.

Park up on the paved driveway outside No. 65, where there is space for three cars, alongside a large garage with electric door, providing both parking and storage space.

Well-manicured lawns to the front, bordered by colourful hydrangeas provide a pretty approach to a home in tune with its natural surroundings.

Make your way to the main entrance, where a balcony to the sitting room above creates a sheltered approach to the glazed front door.

Step inside, into a light filled entrance hall, broad and bright, where handy storage is found behind a door on the left. Hang up your coats and stow away your shoes out of sight, retaining an uncluttered and open feel in the hallway. Contemporary wooden doors and modern UPVC windows are among the many updates made to this home by the current owners.

On the right, direct access is available into the neat and tidy garage, where there is access to further storage beneath the home. Make the most of your situation so close to the lake and fells and store all your climbing, walking, camping and sailing gear in here. There is also a door leading out to the side pathway from the garage.

Across the hallway, tucked away from the main living area is the study and occasional bedroom, with leafy views to the greenery at the side of the home.

Ascend the few stairs ahead, turning immediately right to step through to the heart of the home, the open-plan living dining room. Above, the vaulted ceiling reaches up impressively, clad in wood for an alpine feel. Ahead, a large window draws light through to the dining area, where open shelving creates a sense of peaceful separation from the sitting room above.

Step up to the elevated sitting room on the right, where panoramic views over the Lakeland fells are breathtaking and floor to ceiling windows frame everchanging living watercolours of some of England's most famous peaks.

A sublimely spacious room, currently zoned into two sections, entertaining is easy with so much space for family and friends to flow between. Vintage lighting above the open shelving is a highlight, accentuating the height of the room. Warmth and welcome emanate from the large log-burning stove, set upon a handsome and unique, locally sourced Kirkstone slate hearth. To the rear of the lounge, a second slate surround incorporates a gas fire. Step out onto the glass fronted balcony for a sunset aperitif, the range of mountains so clearly defined you could almost reach out and touch them...Coniston Old Man, Swirl How, Great Carrs, Wetherlam, Crinkle Crags, Bow Fell, Scafell Pike, Great Gable, Harrison Stickle...all the classics.

Stairs lead up from the sitting room to a private enclave containing a light filled bedroom, the epitome of chalet-style comfort. Solid wooden steps lead up to a mezzanine, currently accommodating two beds, with wooden sloping ceiling overhead. Sun streams in through a window to the side, with deep eaves storage also available.

Next door, discover a handy cloakroom with wash basin and WC.

Descending the stairs, beyond the dining area, the well-maintained kitchen offers ample storage in the glossy white cabinets, tiled underfoot and housing a built-in fridge, dishwasher, Bosch oven and induction hob alongside plumbing for a washing machine. Soak up the views through the large window above the sink, where the garden rolls into the hillside beyond.

Open the door and step out to a side patio, perfect for alfresco dining, and with access to lean-to storage, a bin and log store at the side.

Returning to the entrance hall, directly opposite, step into a bedroom where leafy views are framed through the window, drawing in an abundance of light. Currently containing bunk beds, this room is carpeted and cosy.

Enjoy a reviving soak and spritz next door on the left, where a fully tiled bathroom is warmed by underfloor heating and furnished with bath, separate shower, wash basin, cream heated towel radiator and WC.

Served by its own soothingly styled ensuite a large bedroom to the rear, carpeted in biscuit tones and containing plenty of fitted furniture, basks in glorious views out to the garden, where the natural rockery outcrop is a striking feature throughout the seasons. Light, bright and large, this double bedroom contains a fully tiled ensuite with shower, wash basin and WC with underfloor heating.

Finally, arrive at a further double bedroom, blessed with bountiful views out over the garden and gently sloping hills to the rear where walks, accessible from the home, await in abundance. Fitted furniture provides plenty of storage; wake up to the wonderful views of wildlife through the window.

Outside, the mature garden is spacious and low maintenance with private patios, allowing you the option to sit in sunshine throughout the day. Gently sloping lawn allows children to play, with space for a tent for weekend campouts. Watch the sun as it moves around the garden, setting over the mountain range to the front.

A natural rock outcrop adds to the texture and visual interest, beautifully planted, mirroring the landscape to the rear. In springtime, rhododendrons and azaleas burst into colourful blossom, preceded by daffodils and tulips. A billowing willow tree overlooks the garden at the upper end, partly screening the compost bins by the vegetable plot.

Solar panels on the roof add an energy efficient, eco-friendly element to No. 65 Windermere Park.
