House with terrace Windermere (United Kingdom)
Turn the key, walk in, unpack… there’s nothing left to do, besides sit back, relax and enjoy it all. The transformation is remarkable, craftsmanship is impeccable, the result extraordinary. This fabulous contemporary single level property has been virtually rebuilt as well as massively extended. Both inside and out, every element has been either renewed or added as new, the present structure bearing no resemblance to the tired and dated bungalow that occupied this elevated corner plot before. Inside the centre piece is the substantial open plan living space, delivering an absolute WOW factor, chic, streamlined, sociable and stylish, it’s a room for cooking and eating, for entertaining and being together, as well as being quiet and reflective. There are three king sized bedrooms, an ensuite shower room (with generous space to create a second if required), a family bathroom, a utility room and spacious entrance hall. Both in the sleek kitchen and the contemporaneous bathroom and shower room, the fixtures and fittings are high specification and skillfully selected. Flowing throughout the property the harmonious colour palette of greys and neutrals is carefully curated and will prove an easy backdrop for your furniture, art and pictures. Surrounding the property are fabulous landscaped gardens, purposefully designed to offer maximum enjoyment with the very minimum of upkeep – with no lawns to mow there should be plenty of time to enjoy barbecues and outside dining on the large seating terrace or a glass of something chilled in the hot tub. There is parking for two or three cars as well as a single garage. Tucked away in a quiet, well regarded and long established residential enclave, Windermere village itself is within walking distance for everyday needs and thereafter this is a great location for exploring the wider Lake District. Bought in 2022, transformed over 2023 – 24, here at No. 22, well regarded Windermere based building contractor Dean Adams has brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the project, undertaking all the hard work so that you don’t have to. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to relax and enjoy. Location Quietly tucked away off the main thoroughfare on the outskirts of Windermere village, St Mary’s Park, named after the adjacent church, is an exceptionally convenient setting not only for day to day life but also as a base for exploring the wider glories of the Lake District. Already an easy walk along the main road to reach local services, a footpath also connects straight into the heart of the village and provides a handy shortcut. With a ready-made community of neighbours, this established residential area has been popular for many decades and is ideal for full or part time living or as an investment opportunity for holiday rental. It’s convenient for schools, shops and local amenities in Windermere, the bus stop on the A591, and benefits from ready access to a fabulous choice of places in which to dine out; establishments offering everything from a light bite to Michelin starred fine dining. The advantage of life in the centre of such a popular tourist destination is being able to enjoy facilities all year round – cinema, live music, theatre and a wide array of visitor attractions. And if gently ambling, walking, hiking, running, wild swimming or cycling is your passion then could there be a better location? Quite possibly not. Step inside The front door opens to a spacious entryway where there is space for furniture or to build in coat storage. Shoes off and enjoy the underfloor heating through the porcelain floors tiles which start here and flow through into the living kitchen and the utility room for a seamless aesthetic. The utility room has plenty of storage space with pale grey high gloss fronted cabinets and composite worktops, there’s space for a condenser dryer and plumbing for your washer. Walk into the living kitchen and it’s hard to know what to admire first, the fabulous kitchen or the views beyond through the wall of glazing. Inside and outside become one; the peaks of the fells are visible over the tops of the trees, the garden and neighbourhood trees provide screening for life inside. It’s a truly fabulous and exceptionally generous space. With a large and well equipped kitchen, a natural corner for dining and then a large area which would accommodate a number of seating configurations; one large statement sofa possibly or a smaller L shaped one in front of the fire with a couple of bespoke reading chairs positioned to admire the view, look out to the garden or watch the visiting birds. When it came to which kitchen company to choose, one brand was a clear leader as their design ethos and principals very much spoke for the style and tone of the entire property that was being created, SieMatic. Since they were established in 1929, SieMatic have been making kitchens that fit into creative living. The brand is synonymous with production quality of the highest standard, planning competency and innovation. Their website states “The SieMatic style world concept follows the currently most popular lifestyles and furnishing styles and makes it possible to respond flexibly, precisely, and in detail to your individual feelings about life, beyond rigid program structures.” The classic minimalism of the clean lines and restrained colour scheme provides an elegant living space where “an agreeable sense of balance is created through a generous use of surfaces and materials, as well as a freedom from decorative elements. An elementary simplicity which is equally understandable all over the world.” Cabinets are a subtle combination of pale and dark grey with Corian worktops. The island extends to a breakfast bar with space for three stools. Clever lighting and backlights enhance the design and ensure maximum atmosphere whatever the time of day or occasion. Now in situ, it was clearly the right choice as it effortlessly occupies a corner of this vast living area where feature windows and bi-folding doors provide wrap around views and a contemporary Globe 100 gas fire flickers gently within its low set rectangular box, it’s remote control, so you only need to lift a finger. The bedroom wing is through a door off the living area. An inner hall provides access to the loft, with a pull-down ladder it has part boarding with light, so makes for easily accessible storage for cases and Christmas decorations. The principal bedroom has French doors out to the garden. It has the pleasure of a generous ensuite shower room, sure to bring a touch of glamour to your everyday with a large rainfall shower, floating vanity unit and loo. Finishing touches include a feature wall of tiles laid in a herringbone pattern. The second bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe, this room could be remodelled with ease to accommodate a second ensuite if this was required. The third bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. The main bathroom is a stylish affair, luxurious in appointment and finish. The statement oval bath is instantly inviting and if time doesn’t permit a leisurely soak, then the large rainfall shower is there, along with a floating vanity unit and loo. A few points to note when it comes to internal specification; Doors, bi-folds and windows are all new and are hard wearing, maintenance free aluminium finished with anthracite grey paint. Glazing is extensive and ensures that this is a light filled home with a feeling of airiness. Internal doors are contemporary styled with a light oak finish and chrome handles. The doors from the hall into the living area and the living area into the bedroom wing are both glazed to maximise light flow. All internal walls are painted in masonry paint to be as hard wearing as possible, whether you are thinking of holiday makers or have an active family life yourself, being able to wipe the walls down will be a future blessing. All three bedrooms would accommodate a king-sized bed and all have pendant bedside lights already wired. If you like to watch TV in bed then whilst there aren’t any sockets now, they could be easily installed if required. Both the bathroom and shower room are fully tiled incorporating illuminated recesses for storage and display. Both the showers have rainfall and second handheld shower heads, they also include illuminated mirrors, matt black heated towel rails, not forgetting the under-floor heating which runs throughout. Step outside The same care and attention to detail that has been lavished on the interior has also been generously employed outside. Arriving at the property and there is a pull parking bay with space for two or three cars depending on size but there’s also a single garage with a further space in front of it too. Steps lead up to the front door where there is a seating area, east facing and perfect for a morning cup of coffee. A path then leads around to the main garden which is situated on the westerly elevation of the property. Here is a lawn for children to play, a seating terrace for outside dining and general relaxation and the hot tub, just the thing after a long day, it really comes into its own during the colder weather; twilight dips as the sun sets are glorious, whereas on a clear night under nothing but the stars the experience is exceptionally memorable. A path leads from the hot tub to the door into the main bedroom so you could go straight into the shower afterwards if you liked. Overall, it’s a great outside space for entertaining family and friends or just keeping to yourselves. The boundaries between indoor and outdoor become blurred during warmer months when the living area’s bi-folding doors can be opened up enabling the two areas to effortlessly combine. Outside, the painstaking choice of materials is well worth comment, externally much of the bedrock excavated to create the garden and parking area was then used to face the rebuilt elevations and retaining garden walls. The walls of the wrap around extension to the west is finished with composite cladding to be minimal upkeep.

HillCrest22 is a family run guesthouse in Keswick. With its eight en-suite rooms, and separate manager accommodation, it provides a haven for relaxation in the heart of the Lake District. With panoramic uninterrupted views over Derwentwater to the head of Borrowdale, HillCrest22 is ideally situated, with 22 of the ‘Wainwright’s fells’ visible from the guesthouse. The size, layout and versatility of the accommodation mean the property would also make a superb family home. Positioned in the prestigious area ‘The Heads’ in Keswick, HillCrest22 is an exceptional Victorian guesthouse that effortlessly blends heritage, contemporary Scandinavian-inspired design, and commercial opportunity. Originally constructed in 1887 by the then Lord of the Manor, Reginald Dykes Marshall, the property has been sympathetically transformed into one of Keswick’s most stylish and highly regarded guesthouses. Behind the handsome period façade lies an interior carefully curated by an acclaimed Danish architectural practice.

Underfloor heating provides additional comfort beneath. Kitchen & Service Areas A glazed door leads into the kitchen, where minimalist Scandinavian styling meets practical commercial functionality. Stainless steel worktops and cabinetry provide generous preparation space and durability, while maintaining the clean architectural aesthetic seen throughout the property.

Guest Accommodation The upper floors provide eight beautifully appointed double guest bedrooms, each with its own luxurious en-suite bathroom. The front-facing rooms are truly exceptional, commanding uninterrupted panoramic views across Derwentwater and towards some of the Lake District’s most iconic fells, including Cat Bells, Grisedale Pike and Walla Crag. The elevated position means the outlook only improves further on the upper levels. Every bedroom has been individually crafted using bespoke joinery by local craftsmen, with interiors designed around natural textures, calming pastel tones, and high-quality materials.

Location – The Heads, Keswick HillCrest22 occupies one of Keswick’s most desirable and peaceful positions. The Heads is renowned for its elevated outlook, tranquillity, and immediate access to the natural beauty that defines the Lake District National Park.

From the principal rooms, the outlook is almost entirely uninterrupted greenery, mature trees, Lakeland fells, and Derwentwater itself. In fact, only two buildings are visible from many of the windows — the Theatre by the Lake and a distant farmhouse — preserving an exceptionally natural and unspoilt panorama rarely found so close to town amenities. Keswick itself remains one of the Lake District’s most vibrant and sought-after towns, offering an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, galleries and outdoor facilities. The area is internationally renowned for walking, cycling, climbing and water sports, with direct access to some of the region’s most famous Wainwrights and landscapes straight from the doorstep. This is a location that delivers both peace and convenience in equal measure.
