Enjoy a deluxe getaway with your other half (human AND canine) in this sleek apartment in a beautiful Arts and Crafts country house. The feeling of grandeur starts as you approach the property via a long, private driveway and, once in your apartment, this is reflected in the generously proportioned rooms. It’s a perfect base for an active couple complete with outward-bound hound to explore the beauty of the Lake District National Park.
This light and airy apartment is on the second floor of the impressive building, complete with characterful sloping ceilings in places that follow the roofline. It won’t be hard at the end of a busy day to relax in the open-plan living accommodation. Modern furnishings and neutral decor give it a calming vibe and the lounge adjoins the kitchen/diner. The whole place is well-appointed but has a chic, minimalist feel. While there’s no private garden with this apartment, you can explore the large, shared grounds and woodland surrounding the property. It’s a beautiful spot teeming with wildlife. Private parking for one car makes life easy.
Lake Windermere is 1 mile away from this spacious apartment. Take a walk or catch the Bowness Ferry over to Ambleside, which is 6 miles by road. Cars, bicycles and pedestrians can all travel on the ferry. Ambleside offers independent shops, eateries and cafes – just right for a holiday mooch with your pooch. But there’s walking practically from the door of your property, so just pick your route, grab the dog’s lead and head out to explore. For a more cultural take, the charming village of Grasmere is 9.5 miles away – with its Wordsworth connections and famous historic shop selling gingerbread. The World of Beatrix Potter is 3.5 miles, an enchanting attraction based on her books and characters (sadly no dogs).
