Tucked away on the edge of Windermere, Far End is a home of rare elegance. White-rendered walls and a wide, paved entrance bordered by lavender, rosemary and heather set the tone for what awaits beyond its duck-egg blue seating and welcoming porch. This is a house that balances grandeur with warmth, a sanctuary designed for modern living yet rich with timeless appeal.
From the moment you arrive, the setting begins to work its charm. A sweeping driveway, large enough for ten cars, curves towards the double garage. Mature woodland and manicured lawns frame the house, with vibrant shrubs and seasonal flowers adding colour and life throughout the year. The wraparound terrace encircles the home, offering multiple vantage points to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding fells. Whether it is a summer evening with doors flung open to the garden or a winter's morning watching the mist rise over the hills, the outlook here is unforgettable.
Step inside and the sense of space is immediate. The hallway is wide and light-filled, dressed in soft creams with oak floors underfoot and accents of blue hues that flow harmoniously throughout. Thoughtful design details abound, from the hand-built seating crafted by local carpenter Andy Smith, to the textures that add depth and warmth.
To the left lies a generous study, fitted with bespoke cupboards, shelving and a desk - a perfect workspace, quiet yet connected to the life of the house. Nearby, a cloakroom with a large sink and bespoke cabinetry continues the home's theme of practical elegance.
Also on this level, a serene guest bedroom awaits. Neutrally decorated with regal undertones, it features a walk-in wardrobe and two fitted cupboards. French windows draw in light and offer views across the driveway towards the woodland beyond. Its en-suite bathroom, complete with double shower, bath, and underfloor heating, makes it a private retreat for guests or extended family.
Returning to the hallway, a well-planned boot room provides excellent storage. From here, the house flows into its heart - the kitchen and dining space. This is an expansive, beautifully designed room with muted tones and natural textures. Cream cabinetry contrasts with warm wood flooring, while the large island doubles as a breakfast bar. There is space for both informal family meals and larger gatherings around the dining table. Integrated appliances and a double fridge provide convenience without compromising style.
Beyond the kitchen, double glass doors open to the main lounge. Light floods the room through bi-folding doors on either side of a striking cream log burner set in a marble surround. Locally sourced stone and artisan craftsmanship add to its sense of place. Despite its generous proportions, the lounge feels deeply cosy - a quiet space to enjoy the flicker of the fire or gather with friends and family. The marble surround is complimented by an elegant angel within the marble, a detail that reflects the home's artistry and care.
The open plan extends seamlessly into a sunroom, where a glass ceiling and handcrafted fitted furniture create a lodge-like atmosphere. It is a space for all seasons: in summer, doors open onto the wraparound patio, while in cooler months the gas fire adds warmth. Here, art and sculpture are showcased to beautiful effect, a testament to the owners' eye for design.
Upstairs, the sense of refinement continues. A striking picture window at the turn of the staircase frames views of the gardens, while bespoke curtains enhance the home's graceful style. The landing leads to three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, each with its own character.
The first bedroom is a soothing combination of pale blue and white, with mirrored furniture that reflects light and creates a calm, airy feel. The family bathroom pairs a freestanding bath with a large shower; its neutral palette and picture window make it a tranquil space to unwind.
A lilac-toned bedroom offers both charm and practicality, with a wooden bed crafted by the same local carpenter Andy Wood, and a private dressing area tucked behind. Two roof windows invite starlight and sunshine, making it a delightful haven for any age.
The third upstairs bedroom combines earthy blue tones with warm wood. Fitted wardrobes with crystal handles add a touch of luxury, while views extend over the driveway towards woodland where deer are often seen. Like the guest suite downstairs, this room benefits from its own en-suite with a modern, airy design.
Everywhere you look, Far End reveals thoughtful touches that make life both beautiful and practical. Underfloor heating, clever hidden storage for household systems, and bespoke joinery are all designed to blend seamlessly into the home's character. The flow from indoors to outdoors is effortless, with terraces and lawns that invite both quiet reflection and lively entertaining. A water feature adds to the sense of tranquillity, while bi-folding doors create the ultimate connection between home and landscape.
The surrounding area enhances Far End's appeal even further. Windermere is one of the most sought-after locations in the Lake District, combining stunning natural beauty with excellent amenities. Independent shops, restaurants and cafes are minutes away, while the lake itself offers endless opportunities for sailing, walking and exploring. Local schools, transport links and cultural attractions make this an ideal base for families and couples alike.
Far End is more than a house; it is an experience, a home where craftsmanship meets comfort and where every detail has been considered. Its privacy, generous proportions and exceptional design make it a rare find in one of the UK's most beautiful regions.
For those seeking a home that balances elegance with warmth, grandeur with intimacy, Far End offers a life to be savoured.
