Inside, vaulted ceilings and a restrained material palette create a bright, open feel to the Scandinavian-inspired interior. Floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style doors extend the open-plan living area onto a private terrace. The kitchen and dining area sit neatly alongside the lounge, fitted with high-spec Bosch appliances, and a Quooker hot tap, all housed within sleek cabinetry. A utility cupboard provides located next to the entrance hall provides further practicality.
The principal bedroom includes an en-suite with Hansgrohe fittings and a rainfall shower. A second bedroom provides additional sleeping space, making it well suited for guests or younger family members. A separate bathroom follows the same pared-back styling, with clean lines and premium fixtures.

Optional additions include a hot tub, pergola, and outdoor BBQ, offering the opportunity to tailor the space to suit personal preferences. Encircled by landscaped grounds that dissolve into the Lake District’s sweeping views, The Hesk is a home designed to sit quietly within its setting, drawing the outside in at every opportunity.
