Pull Woods, Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22

An exceptional contemporary house in an enchanting setting with a boat house and access Lake Windermere, beautifully landscaped gardens and separate guest accommodation.

Description

Completed in 2012, Brackenrigg is an individually designed residence combining contemporary comfort with materials that reflect its Lake District setting. Interiors feature generous proportions, natural light and a palette of oak, stone and brushed stainless steel. The principal reception room has a vaulted ceiling, mezzanine gallery and full-height Lakeland stone wall framing the wood-burning stove, with glazed doors opening to the terrace and views towards Wray Castle.

At the heart of the house is a bespoke SieMatic kitchen with Corian work surfaces, a Spekva breakfast bar and Miele and Gaggenau appliances, flowing into the dining area and orangery. The study and ground-floor guest suite add flexibility.

A bespoke oak staircase by Bisca rises to the principal bedroom suite, which has front and rear balconies, two dressing rooms and a luxurious bathroom. A further bedroom, currently a gym, and a family bathroom complete the first floor. The substantial boarded loft may offer scope for ancillary use, subject to consents.

The specification includes wet underfloor heating, mood lighting, a Sonos audio system, triple-glazed windows and automated blinds. The detached garage has a well-appointed guest suite above, offering visitors privacy close to the main house.

Electric gates open to a broad driveway and the detached garage. The gardens have been carefully landscaped to complement the woodland setting, with mature rhododendrons and flowering trees, stone paths, tiered planting and a man-made stream flowing into a pond. A wide rear terrace creates a sheltered outdoor entertaining area and makes the most of the views.

A secure gate at the foot of the garden gives access, via a private right of way through the estate woodland, to Brackenrigg’s private boathouse and jetty on Lake Windermere.
