Originally built in the early 1900s by the renowned Pattinson family of local builders, formally a large gentleman's residence and later divided into three homes in the 1950's. Fellside Close has been carefully maintained and retains much of its original character, offering a rare opportunity to live in a home steeped in tradition yet ready to be personalised.

A long shared driveway welcomes you, lined with mature shrubs and meticulously tended lawns. The eye is drawn upward by the impressive Thomas Mawson Lakeland stone staircase, a signature feature that guides visitors through landscaped terraces towards the main entrance. This thoughtful approach hints at the elegance within and frames views across the surrounding gardens.

Upon entering the home, a sense of warmth and refinement immediately presents itself. The entrance hall leads seamlessly into the heart of the house, connecting the kitchen, drawing room, and dining spaces.
The kitchen is a statement of timeless design, featuring a striking bright red gas-fired Aga and an adjacent pantry, combining practicality with character.

The drawing room is the jewel of the home, offering an inspiring combination of space and elegance. A moulded plaster ceiling is a one-of-a-kind, highlighting fruits and flowers which crowns the room. Original wood panelling frames a gas fireplace, and the sash windows flood the space with daylight while framing captivating views over the lake and garden. This is a room that encourages relaxation or social gatherings, where historic features and comfortable proportions coexist effortlessly.

Adjacent, the dining room continues the narrative of understated elegance, with built-in bookcases and original wood-framed patio doors opening onto the terrace. Here, open views of the landscaped gardens provide a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A downstairs cupboard perfect for storing away coats and boots, and separate WC, complete the ground floor ensuring practical convenience without compromising style.

Ascending the main staircase, the first floor presents two of the four bedrooms, each generous in size and offering panoramic vistas across Lake Windermere towards Claife Heights and the fells beyond. Both rooms retain original curved ceilings, a subtle reminder of the property's heritage, and are complemented by a spacious landing that could serve as a study or quiet sitting area. The first-floor bathroom features a separate bath and walk-in shower, while directly opposite, a second shower room adds extra flexibility for family living and visiting guests.

On the second floor, a further two bedrooms provide additional space and flexibility, ideal for children, guests, or a home office. The accommodation throughout the home has been arranged to maximise light and views, ensuring that the natural beauty of the Lake District forms a constant backdrop to daily life.

Outside, the gardens reveal the true extent of Thomas Mawson's influence, with stone walls, colourful shrubs, and carefully considered patios that provide both privacy and a sense of occasion. Steps lead from one terrace to another, creating a series of outdoor spaces that are perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Opposite the main front door, a detached garage and wood store offers additional storage. Down the driveway, a double garage with electric door and separate greenhouse provide further practicality, both connected to the mains electric and water supplies, creating a versatile space for hobbies, workshop use or secure storage.

Fellside Close lies within easy walking distance of the most sought-after areas of Bowness, offering both seclusion and accessibility. The surrounding area provides a wealth of amenities, including boutique shops, cafes, and dining options. Opportunities for outdoor pursuits abound, with scenic walks, sailing, and boating on Lake Windermere, as well as nearby golf and leisure facilities.
