Built in 1988, Brackenthwaite House offers a versatile and spacious abode that is situated on the cusp of Bowness-on-Windermere, mere moments away from the hustle and bustle. Yet the established 1/3 of an acre garden, peaceful fellsides that extend to the rear of the property, and views over Lake Windermere and the fells to the front, wrap it in tranquillity, creating the perfect retreat for family life.

Travel away from Bowness, turning left just before the Motor Boat Racing Club onto the curved private road that takes you through the small hamlet of homes to the private driveway. Flanked by mature evergreens, trees, and lush shrubs adorned with colours, a sense of calm wafts over you as you make your way up to plenty of parking spots in front of the integrated double garage.

Dressed in Lakeland stonework and crisp white render, the combination is both traditional and handsome, with large windows inviting you to take in the views that reflect the Lake District landscape.

Take the short flight of stairs up to the arch for the outer porch, ideal when to pop brollies in, if the Lake District weather rolls in. Before stepping in, turn around and admire the uninterrupted fell views - quite a stunning sight.

Karndean flooring and neutral decor is a welcoming and stylish entrance that extends effortlessly from the front door into the living spaces, creating a seamless, convenient, and calming flow.

Guests can refresh and revive in the downstairs WC to the left. The adjacent room houses the boiler as well as shelving for boots, shoes, and bags.

Across the hall lies the open-plan L-shaped living-dining-kitchen. Naturally divided, allowing for cosy zones to sit and relax next to the fire, and a spot for eating and cooking, but also a beautiful place for bringing people together. Whether it is weekend nights as a family or hosting large gatherings, this is a true hub of the home where everyone can fit, come rain or shine.

The glazed doors, both front and back, flood the room in natural light, allowing the entertaining space to extend into the gardens.

Move from the cosy snug into the dining room, with a table set for 8, and round to the contemporary kitchen. Hide pots, pans, dry goods, and glassware behind the grey and black doors of the plentiful cabinetry. Preparing and cooking will be easy with the double oven, integral full-size fridge and freezer, induction hob, and with so much work surface, both topping the cabinets and adorning the large central island where guests can sit and chat to the host whilst they cook up a storm.

Spot another door that leads into the conservatory. Take morning coffee in here, peaceful and quiet, surrounded by nature and with views that will both calm and inspire.

Brackenthwaite is a beautiful home, and also incredibly convenient and well-designed, as is apparent from the hallway, where stairs lead down to the garage and utility room. Unpacking the shopping on a rainy day and doing the washing will be straightforward.

Ascend the stairs to the half-landing and be welcomed into the formal lounge, a room for all seasons. The dramatic exposed beams and red brick feature fireplace beckon you into this romantic and homely space with dual aspect windows bringing in the light and framing the ever-changing lake and fell aspects.

Just off the lounge is a flexible room, currently used as a study and office, but perhaps a place to hide children's toys. You could even put a sofa bed in and make it multifunctional. Spy the hatch into the partially boarded loft, you can also find an additional loft from the landing so storage will never be an issue.
Continue upstairs to the bedrooms found off the bright and airy landing.

Bedrooms 2 and 3, both good-sized doubles, can be found to the rear of the home, benefitting from the calm aspects of the gentle sway of the trees and the lush green fellside. Plenty of fitted wardrobes allow for excellent storage, and the en-suite shower rooms complete with WC, sink, and underfloor heating make these rooms a true retreat of comfort and privacy.

A haven can also be found in the principal suite where soft ceiling lighting, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite provide luxury and tranquillity. Wake up to the best views of the lake before reviving in the large shower of the en-suite, comprising underfloor heating, WC, bidet, and double vanity unit where toiletries can be hidden away.

Gardens and Grounds
Embraced in the tranquillity of nature, the home feels private and secluded, a true blessing when the Lake District is in the height of the busy season.

To the front, the large driveway provides heaps of parking and the double garage with upper and over door is the ideal flexible storage space. Cars can be worked on next to the additional workshop area, where tools can be hung up over the bench. A separate utility and boot room allows for numerous laundry loads and drying options as well as places to stash outdoor gear.

The beauty of Brackenthwaite House is the versatility of the wrapped-around garden, boasting areas for quiet contemplation, large gatherings, alfresco dining, and safe places for children to play.

Be drawn out of the double doors of the snug by the lilac flowers of the wisteria and impressive, far-reaching views beyond and onto the front terrace. Spend peaceful evenings, glass of wine in hand, catching up with loved ones and discussing the daily events.

Make your way out of the back door, up the short flight of steps next to the deep purple acer, and discover a haven for all - children, adults, and wildlife. Watch as the pheasants, hares, and birds visit, quite at home, whilst the sheep graze in the adjacent field.

This is a garden for all seasons, with azaleas and rhododendrons coming alive with floral displays in April and May, after the daffodils and bluebells have welcomed spring. Even the winter months are full of colour and interest in the specialty and native trees of the willow, oak, and evergreens that tower overhead.

The raised lawn provides spaces for seating surrounded by mature borders, enhancing the peacefulness of the plot. Conveniently, a path runs beside the home that allows for easy access to the front, and a shed set beneath the trees is the perfect spot for gardening tools.

A rustic drystone wall bounds the garden to the rear, but with access over the style into the field, you will find a seamless transition into nature. Why not head over and go for a morning stroll before returning to the seating at the top of the garden that promises lake views. A perfect start to the day.
