  • Spacious and bright detached bungalow just 0.5 miles from bustling Windermere with amble shops and restaurants
  • Patio garden with stunning mountain views
  • Plenty to do in the local area including walking, cycling, sightseeing and boating on Windermere
Property code: SZ579

Perfectly placed for making the most of both Windermere Village and the lake itself, this single-storey property is a welcome retreat to return to after busy days spent exploring on foot, bicycle, or boat.

Right in the heart of the Lake District National Park and surrounded by spectacular scenery, Windermere is a popular base from which to explore this much-celebrated area. A vibrant village, Windermere is home to an array of independent shops, bars and eateries for enjoying a bite to eat before strolling home. Meanwhile, just 1 mile down the road, Bowness-on-Windermere offers a further choice of amenities and attractions including the World of Beatrix Potter and is also the starting point for memorable trips out on the lake. Catch a car ferry over to Hawkshead, 6 miles away, to explore the literary heritage of the area, before stopping in at Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s carefully preserved home, just 4 miles away.

Inside, this single-storey property has been finished with tasteful neutral tones and cosy soft furnishings to create a home from home feel throughout. Cook and dine in the bright and airy kitchen, which is fitted with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dining table large enough to study maps and guidebooks ahead of another action-packed day. Off the kitchen, a deep step leads down into a spacious boot room, which houses the washing machine, tumble dryer and rainy day cupboard full of DVDs, books and games. This is also a useful space for drying wet boots and coats overnight. At the end of a long day, relax and unwind in the spacious lounge, which has an open fire for chilly evenings, TV and even an upright piano for musical nights. This property boasts two well-presented bedrooms, one king-size with an elegant metal-framed bed, vintage desk and en-suite shower room and one twin bedroom with access to the family bathroom, which has a shower over the bath.

Outside, a sunny tiered seating area with a picnic bench enjoys spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. There is private off-road parking for one car.

This is a spacious property but is let down by some of the basics - iron needs to be requested, and some basic maintenance needed. Note it had a for sale board in the garden!

Torch batteries dead. Driveway very tight to get in, bushes need pruning back. Garden needs a tidy up. On doorstep their is a load of oxygen cannisters and equipment. Cottage a good size and good location, needs some TLC.

The house itself is pretty basic and could do with some updating, but it has everything you need. There are great walks right from the doorstep, and the lively harbour of Bownes is only a stonesthrow away.

Lovely cosy and warm place for our holiday walking in the Lakes. Very clean with ample kitchen equipment. Good location, walk up from town is uphill but isn't far. The drive parking is too tight but we were able to easily park on the road right outside the house so it wasn't a problem. Overall we were very happy with the accommodation.

A lovely cottage, very well maintained and in a convenient location. There isn't a private garden for dogs, but there is a great park less than 30 meters away to the right. The utility room was very convenient for cleaning the dogs off after returning from a walk. I'd definitely stay again in the future.

Location is at the top of a hill between Windermere and Bowness . Bungalow was clean and tidy. Rooms are a good size with large windows although close bushes restrict the daylight in the bedrooms. Bathrooms modern- one with large shower, one with bath. Good quality towels. Kitchen well equipped (excellent large fridge-freezer) but cooker didnt workRead more. Garden space only at front of the bungalow overlooking the quiet road. Careful reversing needed to park in the one-car parking space . Hide

Lovely cottage, perfectly equipped in great location. Walking distance into Windermere. Have never stayed anywhere that has provided more than you could ever need. Apart from enclosed garden for dogs but then that was my own fault for not double checking. The cottage itself is ideal for anyone wanting to explore that part of the Lakes.
