Once a distinguished gentleman's residence, the grand Tudor style manor house has been thoughtfully converted into a collection of private luxury apartments, each benefiting from the estate's sweeping lawns, wooded grounds and unrivalled lakeside setting. Buttermere occupies one of the most privileged positions, with mesmerising views across the water that change with the light and the seasons.

From the moment you step inside, it is clear this is no ordinary apartment. The (recently renovated) interiors are bright, considered, and designed to frame the surrounding landscape, with added touches like underfloor heating bringing a sense of luxury. On the lower floor, a generous suite draws the eye immediately to the lake beyond. Panelled walls lend a touch of heritage character while contemporary detailing ensures the space feels fresh and welcoming. This room currently serves as a principal bedroom with an unforgettable view of Lake Windermere, complete with a sleek en-suite shower room to pamper yourself in.

The kitchen lies at the heart of the home. Modern, streamlined and filled with natural light, it is perfectly appointed for both quiet mornings and evenings of entertaining. Every detail has been finished with care, from the Poggenpohl units with integrated appliances to the subtle mood lighting.

Upstairs, a second double bedroom continues the theme of generous proportions and thoughtful storage, enhanced by a walk-in wardrobe. A family bathroom with elegant tiling and a full-size bath brings a sense of indulgence.

The first floor sitting room completes the interior, a space made for relaxation and conversation. Here again, the lake views are the star of the show. Wide windows capture the ever-changing waters, from dawn reflections to golden sunsets. It is a room that invites you to pause, to look out, and to feel the calm of the setting.

The estate's 50 acres of grounds and gardens extend gracefully down to the shoreline, where manicured lawns meet natural woodland, and a private jetty reaches out into the water. This is where days unfold at a gentler pace. Paddleboarding at dawn, an afternoon of sailing, or simply sitting with a book as the water laps softly at the edge. Owners share access to these grounds, which are meticulously maintained, and it is rare to find such a blend of community and privacy in a lakeside setting of this calibre.

Pullwood Bay is steeped in history. Once a grand residence, its architecture reflects the stature and style of a bygone era, now carefully preserved through its conversion. The estate carries an air of heritage and permanence, its stonework and mature trees grounding it firmly in the Lakeland landscape. To live here is to become part of that story, while enjoying the ease of modern living.

Although secluded, Buttermere is remarkably well connected. The lively town of Ambleside is just a short drive away, offering artisan shops, independent cafés and celebrated restaurants. From here, the fells rise in every direction, with routes to suit both gentle walkers and seasoned climbers. The northern shores of Lake Windermere are equally close, with water sports, lake cruises and picturesque villages to discover.

For moments of retreat, the estate itself is a sanctuary. Morning walks through Pull Woods, evenings by the lake, and the knowledge that all of this is right outside your door make Buttermere an exceptional home for those who value peace, beauty and effortless access to the best of the Lake District.

Homes at Pullwood Bay are rarely available, and Buttermere holds particular appeal with its versatile layout, modern finish and spectacular outlook. It is equally suited to a couple seeking a lakeside retreat or a family wanting an elegant home in one of the most sought-after areas of Cumbria. Whether as a permanent residence or an exclusive holiday home, it offers a lifestyle defined by calm waters, open skies and a sense of belonging to a place like no other.
