Perched peacefully down a private road and less than half a mile from Bowness-on-Windermere, this traditional Lakeland cottage is perfect for families and groups of friends exploring the national park together. In and around Bowness, popular spots include the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, the charming Lakes Gallery, and the famous Lake Windermere – you can board a choice of scenic lake cruises from Windermere Jetty. Keen walkers and outdoor enthusiasts couldn't be better placed for days of long adventures and jaw-dropping landscapes. The summits of Brant Fell, Gummer's How, and Orrest Head overlooking Windermere are all within 8 miles of the property. Other popular Lakeland destinations nearby include the pretty town of Ambleside and the scenic villages of Coniston and Rydal (all within 12.5 miles). Before stepping into this charming, light-filled cottage, take a moment to appreciate its traditional porch entrance, which invites you to kick off muddy walking boots and venture deeper into the property. A spacious kitchen awaits, offering a well-appointed space with everything you need for cooking up Lakeland feasts. Enjoy the chef's work in the breakfast room, in the formal dining area, or alfresco out in the garden. To take care of holiday laundry, you'll also find a handy utility room just off the kitchen. The elegant lounge invites relaxation. With wall-to-wall glass doors, this peaceful space is flooded with light. Here, you can unwind as you sink into the deep sofas, flick on the TV, and start planning tomorrow's itinerary. When it's time to call it a night, climb the stairs and take your pick from three restful bedrooms: a king-size master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and two charming single bedrooms that make use of the family bathroom with a bath, walk-in shower, and WC. Spill outside as often as possible to make full use of the peaceful, enclosed garden. This sun-soaked space features a lawn for garden games and a furnished patio for al fresco morning coffees and evening tipples. As well as secure bike storage, you'll also benefit from private parking for two cars, making your arrival and day trips a breeze.
