Welcome Home
Step through the solid oak front door into the entrance hall where Italian marble flooring extends underfoot. A large feature window fills the space with natural light, while a striking central lighting feature draws the eye upward.
Ahead, an impressive unsupported staircase in oak rises to the first-floor landing, creating an elegant focal point within the hall.
Notice the craftsmanship throughout - the doors, woodwork and skirtings are all beautifully finished in oak, adding warmth and continuity to the space. There is mood lighting in all the rooms. The fitted carpet is top quality, and the curtains are tailored and lined. A truly luxurious apartment.
Store coats and jackets in the under-stairs cupboard before turning right into the lounge.
High ceilings and pristine white walls reflect the light pouring in from the bay window to create a bright and spacious ambience.
The large bay window offers breathtaking views across Lake Windermere and the fells beyond, and also provides a charming seating area from which to take in the ever-changing scenery. The room itself offers ample space for both relaxed seating and a TV area, making it ideal for gathering with family and friends.
A beautiful antique Chippendale fireplace with a large mirror above forms an elegant focal point, inviting you to switch on the gas fire and bask in its warmth on cooler evenings.
A particularly special feature within the lounge is the beautiful burr walnut cabinet, commissioned from Peter Hall of Staveley and adorned with intricate marquetry created by a North Wales artisan whose previous work included a commission for Diana, Princess of Wales.
Decorative pendant lights hang from the ceiling roses to add to the elegance, while mood lighting allows the atmosphere to be tailored to suit any occasion.
Sink into the sofa and let your eyes rest on the view of the Langdales and the lake as you settle into the peace and watch the ever-changing skies from your own private vantage point.
Retrace your steps back to the hallway and discover the large open-plan kitchen-diner next door. Take a bottle of something refreshing from the wine fridge in the recess, that also features wine storage and shelving, before making your way into the extensive dining area.
With plenty of space to entertain, invite friends and family over for dinner parties and gatherings where you can host any occasion with ease. The room comfortably accommodates a large refectory dining table, creating a wonderful setting for shared meals and celebrations.
A door opens out onto the private patio area, providing the option to dine alfresco in the warmer months. Stretching across the entire front of the home, and fitted with a Lakeland slate birdbath, the patio is a perfect place to enjoy the outdoors, fire up the barbecue and spot the wildlife, all while taking in the beautiful views of Lake Windermere.
Flow through to the kitchen on the right, where a central island with generous worktop space, drawers and cupboards provides an array of storage and plenty of room for meal preparation.
Sleek cream cabinetry lines the walls, and appliances include a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, integrated washing machine and an American-style fridge and freezer with cold water and ice dispenser.
The kitchen also incorporates additional drinks shelving and refrigeration, ensuring everything needed for entertaining is within easy reach.
Peep into the storage cupboard on the left that houses a boiler before returning to the hallway and continuing ahead to discover the ground floor bathroom comprising WC, bath and washbasin.
A double bedroom can be found next door, with scattered spotlights in the high ceiling and two large windows adding to the light.
Fitted wardrobes line the wall, along with a fitted dressing table providing excellent storage and practicality.

Revive and refresh in the bathroom on your left, comprising a walk-in shower, WC and washbasin, before continuing right into another large bedroom.
With ample space for storage, rich carpet underfoot and dual windows displaying views of the woodland, it's an oasis of calm. This bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and a dressing table, while sitting conveniently next to the house bathroom.
The bathroom has a raised, large Spa Bath, a walk-in shower, WC, washbasin and houses the laundry equipment.
Open the cupboard on the landing to discover a cleverly designed drinks station, complete with integrated fridge, coffee machine, kettle, shelving and cupboard space. From here it's easy to prepare a refreshing drink before heading into the bedroom, study or out onto the balcony.
Continue through to the library and study area. Fitted with oak shelving and bespoke desk space, this is an ideal place to get lost in a favourite book or as a second work area for the family.
Make your way up the steps, passing a boiler cupboard on your right, before continuing into a bright and spacious room. Currently used as a Study/Snug, this versatile space could easily serve as a games room, gym, bedroom or further workspace.
The study itself is fitted with a fully bespoke U-shaped oak desk with hidden cable runs, providing extensive worktop space. A large drawer is designed to house a laser printer or equipment at one end, while the opposite side offers space for Hi-Fi equipment and a CD rack. Lighting above the desk ensures a bright and comfortable working environment.
French doors open out onto a balcony where seating allows you to pause and enjoy the spectacular views stretching across Lake Windermere.
Flow through into the principal suite next door where the theme of space and light continues.
The large bay window framing the view of the lake and fells beyond immediately captures your attention.
The bedroom is beautifully appointed with fitted limed oak wardrobes along with a matching bed and bedside tables, while an antique high-level display cabinet adds further character.

Gardens and Grounds
With exteriors, roofs and maintenance of the gardens and woodland managed by Chapel Ridding Apartments Ltd and Jacksons of Windermere, all aspects of the external surroundings are professionally cared for.
This allows owners to enjoy the beautiful setting without the demands of ongoing maintenance - an appealing feature for those seeking a second home or an easy "lock-up-and-leave" lifestyle.
A waterfall welcomes you home and provides a soothing backdrop as you approach along the private driveway. With room for ample parking, as well as a double garage, visiting guests are easily accommodated.
Woodland and landscaped gardens make up the shared space that is ready to be discovered, offering plenty of areas to explore and enjoy.
Make your way up the steps beside the waterfall and wander through the woodland, taking in the nature and spotting wildlife before strolling across the landscaped lawns where you can chat with neighbours while enjoying the views.
In the summer months, head out onto the private patio where jaw-dropping views are displayed. Invite friends and family over for barbecues and dine alfresco with panoramas of Lake Windermere as the backdrop to your gatherings.
