With panoramic vistas towards Lake Windermere and the fells beyond, this 3-bedroom, former gentleman's residence was built in 1913, strongly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. The substantial property was then divided in the 1970's to create 3 beautiful homes. No. 3 is now the perfect blend of modern comfort and original features ready for you to simply move-in and unpack!

Pull off the A591 and wend your way to the top of The Hoo Lane to the most idyllic of settings. No. 3 The Hoo is located at the top of the driveway, with accommodation all on one level - featuring 3 good sized bedrooms, a study, kitchen-diner, and to the end of the hallway, what was once the music room to the main house, discover the most beautiful living room with picture perfect views that overlook the large mature garden to the far-reaching Lake District surroundings.

Wrapped in greenery, the tranquillity of the home is instantly apparent as you park in the dedicated spot to the left, and make your way up to the front door, and adjoining window, adorned with traditional stained glass.

Step inside onto the original hardwood parquet flooring that extends underfoot, seamlessly leading your eye up to the elegant half wooden panelled walls that, alongside the natural décor, make the entrance feel warm and inviting.

Work your way round to the left where the family bathroom and two bedrooms lie.
Contemporary finished with large grey tiles that adorn both walls and floor, housing a separate Villeroy and Boch tub, and a large walk-in shower next to a floating vanity unit, ideal for hiding away toiletries, WC as well as a heated towel rail and heated mirror.

Opposite stands a good-sized double bedroom decorated in neutral hues, creating a calming ambience to rest in, and with ample space to have freestanding furniture this is a great second bedroom.

The master suite can be found adjacent, firmly taking advantage of the large bay window that floods the room in natural light with space for a dressing table - a quite beautiful window with a captivating view to get ready by. The en-suite shower room, finished to the highest standard, completes this retreat.

As you retrace your steps to the front door, be sure to catch a glimpse of the original oak doors boasting the simplistic handcrafted style of the Arts and Crafts movement that the home is an example of.

Take the first door on the left into the kitchen, where form and function are evident. The parquet flooring continues, blending effortlessly with the soft stone coloured cabinetry and curved edges of the large contemporary island where there is ample room for all your pots, pans and pantry items. Built-in Neff appliances comprising oven, combi oven, warming drawer, freezer, large fridge are all hidden out of sight alongside the washer, dryer and induction hob.

Relaxed mornings can be spent enjoying breakfast in the large bay window, which also allows for easy access onto the garden through the glazed doors.

At the end of the hallway step through into a most useful study. Get working on writing your memoirs, sit down and catch up on the admin, or simply take a break and start the next chapter on your current novel.

Pop your head into bedroom 3, again a light-filled filled with a double bed and plenty of storage potential, before journeying into the living room.

This capacious room is something to behold! Large dual aspect windows allow the light to fill the room, showcasing the high ceilings and elegant panelled walls. Enhanced by the majestic views, you can see why this former music room was such a social hub.

Continuing its origins, the room is well suited for large gatherings, hosting friends and family easily around the dining table, but is also a cosy spot for intimate evenings together.

After a busy day out on the fells, relax by the log burner, boasting slate surround and hearth, and warm up, or sit on the window seat of the huge leaded bay and admire the views across the lake.

No. 3 The Hoo is a beautiful, practical and elegant abode that would suit someone looking for a bolt hole in the Lake District or a family with a love of the outdoors. Perfectly positioned to give someone the best of both worlds - just take a look and see how it could work for you!

Gardens and Grounds

The tranquil setting of No. 3 The Hoo is enhanced by the well-established garden that extends out of the kitchen door onto a beautiful flagstone terrace, where the picturesque views continue.

Elevated from the garden, the main patio provides a space that you will never tire of. Take morning coffee and dine alfresco to your heart's content. Paved steps lead from here up to the summer house, where a room with a view, a space for all seasons and climates, stands. In addition, further steps lead down into the depths of the garden as well as to a handy store.

An array of woodland paths and seating areas wind their way through the lush green lawns and finest of borders stocked with azaleas, rhododendrons, evergreens and flowering plants, creating a beautiful haven to relax in and host friends. On sunny days, take a seat under the ancient Acer and enjoy the dappled shade from the deep red foliage and the sound of the trickling water feature.

Not just a garden for you but also a paradise for wildlife with birds of prey high in the sky, deer roaming the woodland and, come spring and summer, a haven for butterflies and bees. This is a garden to explore and just beyond the lawn, discover a wildlife pond that frogs and newts frequent.

It boasts a large undercroft to hide away gardening equipment and tools as well as a garage found to the right of the driveway - think housing for bikes, cycling gear, and paddleboards.
