Approached via a private electric gate, Amberwell reveals itself gradually, a composition of natural stone and timber harmonising with the surrounding landscape. The substantial wooden front door, framed by warm stonework, creates a sense of arrival that is both grand and inviting.

Stepping inside, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall defined by natural wood flooring and an exposed, open-riser staircase featuring a glazed balustrade. This thoughtful design floods the space with natural light and creates a feeling of openness and flow that sets the tone for the entire house. The materials chosen here, timber, stone, and glass, are tactile and honest, forming a warm, grounded welcome.

At the core of Amberwell lies the open-plan kitchen and dining space, a room designed to foster connection and conversation. The kitchen is a masterpiece of modern craftsmanship, featuring a large island with an induction hob and a discreet central extraction system that preserves clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. Integrated, premium appliances blend seamlessly into cabinetry finished in natural, earthy tones that echo the exterior materials.

This is a space that effortlessly accommodates everything from quiet breakfasts bathed in morning light to large, lively dinner parties. The dining area sits adjacent, with generous glazing that frames views of the garden and beyond, allowing the ever-changing landscape to become part of every meal. The continuity of natural materials, combined with underfloor heating and thoughtfully placed lighting, ensures comfort and elegance at every moment.

Sociable and Flexible Living Spaces
Connected directly to the kitchen is the games room, currently furnished with a pool table and positioned to enjoy tranquil views over the garden and the built-in hot tub. This room invites informal gatherings and long evenings with family and friends, maintaining a relaxed atmosphere that perfectly complements the more formal spaces of the house.

Nearby, the snug, currently used as a playroom, is a versatile, light-filled space enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glazing. Its bright and airy feel makes it a perfect retreat for quieter moments or play, yet it remains connected to the heart of the home. This adaptability is one of Amberwell's understated strengths, offering rooms that evolve alongside the household's changing needs.

Amberwell's thoughtful design continues in the utility and boot rooms, where practicality meets style. The boot room offers generous storage for coats and boots, perfectly catering to the active Lake District lifestyle. Additional refrigeration and storage solutions ensure the day-to-day running of the home is organised and efficient.

The study is a calm, focused space with views towards the front garden, ideal for working from home or managing household affairs in privacy and comfort. With high-quality finishes and excellent natural light, it is a room designed for concentration and productivity without feeling isolated.

The sitting room, accessed via the entrance hall, strikes a perfect balance between scale and intimacy. A striking, glass-fronted fireplace serves as the room's heart, offering warmth and texture that contrasts beautifully with the clean architectural lines and natural materials. Built-in bookshelves provide character and storage without overwhelming the space.

Large windows stretch almost from floor to ceiling, framing the garden beyond and allowing light to pour into the room throughout the day. This creates a seamless connection between inside and out, allowing the changing seasons to become part of the living experience.

Ascending the glazed staircase, which itself is a feature of light and transparency, the first floor unfolds with views of both garden and lake. The master suite is a sanctuary of calm and refinement. A huge built-in dressing cupboard provides elegant and generous storage, while the en-suite bathroom is a study in natural materials: slate, wood, and stone, illuminated by large Velux windows that flood the space with daylight. The suite enjoys exceptional views through a large window, creating a bright and tranquil retreat without the need for a balcony.

Four further generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own distinct character and subtly different tones and views. Bedroom Two and Three enjoy their own balconies, providing private outdoor retreats to take in the surrounding vistas. Bedroom Four contains a delightful hidden gem for children of all ages. Like stepping into Narnia, what appears to be a wardrobe is a cleverly concealed play den, currently used as a bowling alley, perfect for imaginative play and family fun. Built-in wardrobes throughout ensure that storage is both generous and discreet, maintaining the clean lines that run throughout the home.

The en-suite bathrooms continue the home's narrative of thoughtful detail and high-quality finishes. One features a luxurious bath positioned beneath expansive roof windows, allowing a view of the sky to become part of the bathing experience. Another includes a large double shower with dual-aspect windows, ensuring the space is always bright and welcoming.

Gardens and Outdoor Living
Amberwell offers not only comfortable living space but also practical garage and plant room facilities, making it ideal for storing bicycles, water sports equipment and other outdoor gear. This makes the home particularly suited to active lifestyles around Lake Windermere, whether for cycling, kayaking, paddleboarding or other outdoor activities on and around the lake.

Amberwell's landscaped gardens are not an afterthought but an extension of the home itself. Carefully designed glazing ensures that nearly every room enjoys a framed view of greenery, sky or water. Multiple terraces provide versatile outdoor spaces for dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation.

A discreetly positioned built-in hot tub offers a private haven to unwind while surrounded by nature. The landscaping enhances privacy without feeling enclosed, preserving a sense of openness and connection with the wider landscape.

Balconies on the upper floor offer elevated perspectives, architectural details that invite pause and reflection, and allow residents to fully appreciate the beauty of their surroundings.

Situated within the Lake District National Park, Amberwell offers immediate access to some of the UK's most celebrated natural landscapes. Days here can be spent walking the fells, paddleboarding on Lake Windermere at dawn, or exploring charming local towns and villages rich with culture and community.
Families benefit from proximity to excellent schools, a wide range of amenities including independent shops, cafés, doctors, dentists, and activities. The sociable, community-oriented towns of Bowness and Windermere provide both convenience and character, all within easy reach.

This five-bedroom home perfectly balances comfort and sophistication. Ideal for lively family life, or peaceful escapes. Every detail reflects thoughtful planning and refined taste.

Amberwell is a rare gem: a home of exceptional craftsmanship, considered design, and a breathtaking setting in one of the Lake District's most desirable areas.
