luxury houses with terrace for sale Langholm, United Kingdom

Hadrians House - A purpose-built equestrian residence of rare calibre, combining professional-grade facilities with refined modern country living. Constructed in 2015 with a clear brief—create a high-performance equestrian facility without compromising on residential quality—Hadrian’s House delivers on both fronts with precision. Set within approximately 7.4 acres, the property is discreetly positioned behind electric gates, offering privacy while remaining on the edge of a well-connected village. From the outset, the tone is established: natural materials, oak detailing, and a restrained palette create a modern farmhouse aesthetic that feels both considered and functional. This is not a cosmetic nod to country living—it is designed for it. The House The ground floor is anchored by a wide entrance hall, finished with oak flooring that runs consistently throughout, reinforcing the sense of cohesion. A bespoke oak staircase with integrated storage sets a practical tone early. The kitchen is the core of the house—bespoke, hand-painted solid wood cabinetry by Woodstyle, topped with black granite. It is properly specified rather than styled: Belfast sink, Neff appliances, wine fridge, and integrated timber wine storage within the island. The Aga is gas-fired with an electric companion, providing five ovens, multiple hobs, and flexibility that suits both day-to-day use and larger-scale entertaining. This space flows into a dining area and onward into a striking oak-framed living area. Extensive glazing wraps the elevation, pulling in natural light and framing uninterrupted views across the paddocks, critically, maintaining constant visual connection to the land and horses. A side access door leads directly to the patio, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor relationship. A secondary lounge offers contrast, more enclosed, intentionally quieter, with a contemporary gas fire and direct access to the patio. Glazed doors connect through to a formal dining room, allowing the layout to flex between open-plan entertaining and more defined spaces. The supporting accommodation is well judged: a fully fitted utility/laundry room with matching cabinetry, a ground floor shower room, and a boiler/drying room designed specifically for country use - wet coats, boots, and kit are clearly anticipated. A stable-style external door reinforces this as a working entrance. A study to the rear provides additional flexibility. This space is currently an office, but equally viable as a fourth bedroom, snug, or hobby space. First Floor The upper floor continues the same disciplined approach to materials and finish, with underfloor heating throughout. Three bedrooms are arranged to maximise light and outlook. The principal suite breathtaking. Vaulted ceilings, exposed oak structure, and a glazed gable end create a space that feels closer to a boutique retreat than a conventional bedroom. A dedicated dressing room and a high-spec ensuite features porcelain tiling and a large walk-in shower which complete this luxury suite. A second bedroom also benefits from ensuite facilities, while the family bathroom is centred around a freestanding bath, finished in a neutral, durable palette. Equestrian Facilities This is where Hadrian’s House separates itself from the majority of lifestyle properties. The equestrian offering is not an add-on—it is the primary asset, executed to a standard that supports serious use. 7.4 acres, intelligently divided into rotational paddocks Outdoor arena (50m x 30m) with premium sand and rubber surface Indoor arena (18m x 30m) with mirrors and full lighting—usable year-round Canter track/gallop running along the boundary, linking upper paddocks All-weather turnout areas adjacent to the indoor arena Horse walker (by separate negotiation)The stable block is equally well specified: 8 full stables plus additional storage stable Rubber matting to floors and walls throughout Solarium for muscle recovery and conditioning (by separate negotiation) Dedicated wash bay with hot and cold water Central cross-tie areas with excellent lighting Integrated kitchen, seating, and laundry area for day-to-day yard management First-floor tack room and rug storageOperational flow has been considered. Movement between arenas, turnout, stabling, and storage is efficient, which matters if this is being used at scale or professionally. A large gravel yard provides ample space for wagons, trailers, and machinery, with straightforward access and turning. Additional Accommodation & Leisure Across the yard, a covered area provides parking for two vehicles. Above, a self-contained studio apartment offers genuine ancillary accommodation—well-finished with oak flooring, open-plan living/sleeping space, fitted kitchen, and shower room. This is suitable for staff, guests, or as a dedicated office separate from the main house. Closer to the house, a garden room has been configured as a leisure space with bar and sauna. Adjacent is a covered patio with hot tub, positioned to take advantage of the south-facing orientation and uninterrupted views across the land. Location – Kirkandrews-on-Eden Kirkandrews-on-Eden offers a rare combination of accessible countryside and authentic rural living. Surrounded by a collection of well-regarded villages, the area is known for its excellent country pubs, traditional inns, and quality local butchers, delivering the kind of day-to-day lifestyle that buyers at this level actively look for, not just scenery. Positioned just a short drive from Carlisle, the property benefits from immediate access to a comprehensive range of amenities, schooling, and services, alongside excellent transport links via the M6 and mainline rail connections to London and Glasgow. For those drawn to the outdoors, the setting is particularly strong. The property lies along the route of Hadrian’s Wall Path, allowing direct access to miles of established walking routes straight from the doorstep. The area provides quiet lanes and open countryside ideal for hacking, while both the Lake District National Park and the Cumbrian coastline are within easy reach—offering a diverse mix of landscapes from fells and lakes to open beaches. This is a location that delivers not just on convenience, but on lifestyle—particularly for buyers prioritising space, access to the outdoors, and a strong sense of place. Summary Hadrian’s House is not a compromised lifestyle purchase. It is a properly executed equestrian property where the infrastructure justifies the headline. If the buyer’s priority is horses—training, conditioning, or small-scale professional use—this will outperform the majority of comparable offerings. The house supports that use case without dilution, delivering a level of finish and comfort that aligns with the quality of the yard.

The Old Vicarage  A distinguished Grade II listed village residence with three luxury holiday cottages and exceptional private grounds.  Dating back to approximately 1780, The Old Vicarage is a remarkable former vicarage, steeped in local history and occupying an enviable position within one of the area’s most exclusive and picturesque villages. Held by the current owners for the past 25 years, the property has been sympathetically restored and meticulously maintained, blending period authenticity with refined contemporary styling.  This is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a substantial historic home with significant ancillary accommodation and an established lifestyle income stream, all within beautifully landscaped grounds.  The village itself carries strong historical significance, with celebrated poet W. H. Auden having famously performed here, adding further cultural heritage to an already distinguished setting.  Over recent years, the property has undergone extensive improvements including a full reroof, chimney reconstruction, comprehensive redecoration and thoughtful interior styling throughout, ensuring the home is presented to an exceptional standard.    Accommodation Entrance Hall & Kitchen Living Spaces Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a generous entrance hall which immediately sets the tone for the home, showcasing the elegant proportions and period detailing found throughout. To the right is a practical utility and boot room, perfectly suited to country living. Opposite sits a versatile additional reception space, currently utilised as an extension to the kitchen, providing further storage, a large sink area and space for a double fridge freezer. Traditional tiled flooring, wood panelling and original character features continue throughout these spaces. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed and flooded with natural light via a large feature window overlooking the gardens. Bespoke Birdseye maple cabinetry is paired with black granite work surfaces, while a traditional oil-fired Aga with four ovens, twin hotplates and warming plate forms the centrepiece of the room. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge, while original working shutters further reinforce the property’s historic charm.   Reception Rooms Beyond the kitchen lies the impressive main hall and entrance porch, creating a wonderful space to welcome guests. Across the hall is the principal lounge, a beautifully styled reception room centred around an open fireplace with bespoke fitted wall cabinetry. Large sash windows with original working shutters frame attractive views across the gardens and provide exceptional natural light. The room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, equally suited to relaxed evenings or formal entertaining. Leading from the lounge is a generous study, ideal for home working or welcoming clients thanks to its own external access door, allowing business use without disturbing the main residence. A log-burning stove provides additional warmth and character, while large dual-aspect windows enjoy attractive views over the grounds. Accessed from the study is a highly useful storage room, currently utilised in support of the holiday cottage business. To the rear of the property, a long internal corridor provides access to the cellar, a downstairs WC and rear yard access. The corridor also leads to the elegant dining room, a superb entertaining space featuring ornate timber detailing, fitted shelving and a further open fireplace. French doors connect seamlessly into the wraparound garden room, creating an excellent flow between indoor and outdoor living. The dining room could equally function as a secondary sitting room if desired. First Floor Accommodation A beautifully light staircase rises to a stunning galleried landing, where the staircase divides into three separate directions, enhancing both character and practicality. To one wing are three generous double bedrooms, one benefitting from its own ensuite shower room, while a stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Each room has been tastefully decorated and enjoys large windows and attractive outlooks. The opposite wing provides two further spacious bedrooms alongside a substantial built-in linen cupboard. At the end of the hall lies the magnificent principal suite. This luxurious room enjoys five windows providing triple-aspect views, decorative ceiling panelling and an exceptional sense of space and light. A large walk-in dressing room adds further practicality and refinement. A staircase then rises to the true showpiece of the suite — a private luxury spa bathroom. Beautifully appointed beneath exposed beams, this remarkable space features underfloor heating, a large walk-in shower with steam room functionality, relaxation area and a two-person whirlpool Jacuzzi bath, creating an experience rarely found within a private residence. The Holiday Cottages Constructed in 2020, the property additionally benefits from three beautifully designed luxury holiday cottages, providing a substantial and well-established income opportunity. Each cottage offers:  * One double bedroom * Open-plan kitchen, dining and living accommodation * Individual layouts and interior styling * Dedicated parking spaces * Private outdoor seating areas * EV charging points * Access to a communal dog washing station   Affectionately known as “Garden Cottage”, “Bay Tree Cottage”, and “Orchard Cottage”, the cottages are exceptionally light, stylish and highly self-contained. Heated via electric radiators and supplemented by solar panels, the cottages have been carefully designed to operate independently from the main residence, allowing owners to maintain privacy and enjoy the property uninterrupted while generating an additional income. Accessed separately via a track running alongside the property, guests can arrive and depart discreetly without impacting the principal home.   Gardens & Grounds The Old Vicarage sits within beautifully maintained mature grounds, offering a high degree of privacy and shelter. To the rear and side are immaculate landscaped gardens featuring mature planting, lawned areas and a stunning rill cascade water feature, creating a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The front gardens are equally impressive, with formal box hedging, mature trees and an attractive seating terrace perfectly positioned to enjoy afternoon and evening sun while overlooking the village green. A substantial gravel driveway provides extensive parking, while a large garage offers excellent additional storage potential.   Location – Eden Hall Occupying a distinguished position within the heart of Edenhall, The Old Vicarage enjoys an exceptional village setting just four miles from the highly regarded market town of Penrith. Steeped in history, Edenhall is widely recognised for its historic hall and the famous “Luck of Edenhall” glass legend, a story dating back centuries which helped establish the village’s reputation far beyond Cumbria. The village itself retains an attractive and peaceful character, centred around beautiful period buildings, mature greenery and a strong sense of community. Despite its tranquil setting, the location is remarkably convenient. Penrith provides an excellent range of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and everyday services, while the nearby M6 motorway and West Coast Main Line station offer superb connectivity north and south, making the area highly accessible for both commuting and leisure travel. The surrounding countryside is some of the finest in the region, with the Lake District National Park easily accessible, alongside the Eden Valley’s rolling landscapes, riverside walks and picturesque villages. Outdoor pursuits are readily available in every direction, whether walking, cycling, fishing or simply enjoying the scenery. Schooling is another significant draw to the area, with an excellent selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, including Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Penrith, one of the county’s most respected secondary schools.

With spectacular sea views from every room, this is as close to island living as you will get, without having to leave the shore.  Balcary Tower is wonderfully situated and comprises a traditional C Listed tower house with integral garage, set within a very private location amongst mature and well-maintained grounds. The property boasts some of the most incredible coastal and mountain vistas in the UK and enjoys direct beach access, with a tidal swimming pool, private slipway and large, modern boathouse. In addition, there are lovely, mature wooded garden grounds, superb terraces for alfresco entertaining, and a 12 acre paddock.  The property was originally built in 1860 by Colonel Johnstone, who was the Laird of Auchencairn House, and we understand it to have been built for his French governess and mistress. The Tower was extended in the 1960s and 70s and then completely overhauled and renovated in 2012.  During this recent renovation no stone was left unturned, and the house was also rewired, replumbed and had a new waste treatment plant installed, at the time.  Balcary Tower is presently run as very successful luxury holiday let (winning a Gold ‘Gem’ award with Sykes in 2025) but would equally lend itself to being a fantastic family home.    Rare to the market, with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout and stunning views from every room, this property really needs to be viewed in person to be truly appreciated.   Accommodation Balcary Tower offers flexible and spacious accommodation, with 4 double bedrooms and 2-3 reception rooms. High quality fixtures and fittings are evident throughout. The open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room is a wonderful entertaining space and enjoys sea views from two elevations.  The kitchen would appeal to any chef, with an abundance of storage, granite worksurfaces and a large central island.  Top of the range appliances include a Liebherr fridge freezer and Gaggenau steam oven, electric oven with warming drawer, and dishwasher and there is a bespoke dining bench and table.  The living area offers ample space for furniture, enjoys a modern wood burning stove and boasts fantastic views over the pool and out to sea, with direct access to a raised terrace via French doors.  The drawing room and dining room are located at the opposite end of the house, and the two rooms are connected by a few shallow steps.  Naturally, both rooms offer unrivalled coastal views, and the drawing room also has a wood burning stove and French doors that lead out to a gravelled terrace. Also on the ground floor is a bright double bedroom, with ‘Jack and Jill’ ensuite shower room, a useful utility room, cloakroom/WC and a storage cupboard. On the first floor, two very attractive bedroom suites can be found. The principal bedroom suite boasts a triple aspect, with charming sash windows, working shutters and a generous walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. The ensuite bathroom has an incredible, large picture window overlooking the sea, with a central bath, generous shower, and fitted storage.   The second bedroom on the first floor also enjoys a triple aspect with sash windows and working shutters, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom comprising shower over bath. On the second floor another bright and well-proportioned double bedroom can be found, again which enjoys a triple aspect and incredible views, and there is an adjacent bathroom comprising shower over the bath.  From the second floor there is a wooden staircase rising to an insulated and electronically operated roof hatch, giving access to the roof of the tower, and offering 360-degree views of the estuary, Hestan Island, the mountains, garden and surrounding countryside.    Outside The property is approached via Shore Road from Auchencairn, which is a quiet road that follows the shoreline to the private entrance to Balcary Tower.  A gated entrance and tarmac driveway winds through the wooded grounds, following the shoreline, to generous parking and turning areas by the house and boathouse.  There are various areas from which to sit and enjoy the coastal views, including sheltered terraces, ideal for alfresco entertaining.  There is direct beach access, which is quite remarkable and really makes the beach an extension of the grounds. The gardens are landscaped into the natural sloping topography of the land around and behind the house.  To the rear of the property a path leads up to a lovely, wooded garden, filled with specimen trees, rhododendrons and other mature shrubs and plants.  There is a pond, winding paths lead through the trees, and there is a lawned area housing raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse, and a separate fruit garden. An area of woodland, with rhododendrons and azaleas also flank the driveway and provide a high level of privacy.   The rock-cut swimming pool fills naturally with sea water at high tide and has a sluice gate so that water can be changed if necessary.  This offers an infinity style pool setting and brings wild swimming to your doorstep! Finally, the property enjoys haaf (half) netting fishing rights, which is a traditional method of catching fish.  It requires an angler to stand waist-deep with a large, handheld net, and by law the net cannot be fixed, stuck in the mud, or left unattended.  Dumfries & Galloway Council issue the annual haaf net permits.  Boathouse There is a large steel framed shed (15m x 8m) which was constructed in 2013 and serves as a boathouse and office/workshop space, located opposite to the slipway.  The boathouse has a concrete floor, steel stairs to a generous mezzanine area, power and light, hot and cold running water, an electric roller door, and separate pedestrian access. Land The paddock extends to just under 12 acres and would be ideal for grazing of small animals or perhaps for equestrian use.  There is ample space to erect buildings suitable for animals in the field, subject to consents.  Access and Rights of Way Balcary Tower is accessed via a half mile private driveway leading from the end of the public road at Balcary Bay. The owners of The Boat House further around the peninsula have a right of access over the first 100 yards of the driveway and over the track through the paddock. A public footpath passes through the paddock and skirts the southeastern woodland boundary of the title. Services:   Mains electricity, mains water, private waste treatment plant.  Oil fired central heating and wood burning stoves. Double glazed throughout.  Fibre broadband.

HillCrest22 The Heads, Keswick, Lake District National Park A Rare lifestyle and hospitality opportunity in one of the Lake District’s most iconic settings. 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. Traditional craftsmanship and original Victorian character have been thoughtfully combined with clean contemporary styling, natural materials, and premium finishes throughout. Currently operating as a successful and well-established hospitality business, HillCrest22 presents a rare opportunity to acquire an award-worthy lifestyle property in arguably one of the finest positions within the Lake District National Park.   Accommodation  Entrance & Reception Areas A traditional entrance porch immediately sets the tone, featuring striking Victorian geometric tiled flooring and beautiful stained-glass windows. Beyond, the welcoming reception hall showcases one of the property’s defining design features — an impressive glass wall and bespoke glazed doors which allow natural light to flow effortlessly through the building while subtly separating the dining and reception spaces. Throughout the property there is a remarkable cohesion between old and new. Original features sit comfortably alongside Scandinavian influences, creating interiors that feel both luxurious and understated.   Dining Room Positioned at the front of the property, the dining room enjoys an elevated bay window with spectacular panoramic views across the parkland towards Cat Bells and the surrounding Lakeland fells. This elegant space combines warmth and sophistication, centred around a modern log-burning stove set within a beautiful marble fireplace. A second decorative fireplace enhances the symmetry and character of the room, while decorative chandeliers add refinement and atmosphere. Particularly noteworthy is the flooring — solid Dinesen Douglas Fir laid in single continuous lengths, creating an exceptional sense of quality and craftsmanship. 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. The kitchen is centred around an impressive double-width Rangemaster featuring: * Five induction hobs * Twin ovens * Separate grill * Warming drawer   To the rear sits a substantial pantry and washing-up area fitted with a commercial-grade dishwasher, large stainless-steel sink, and industrial rinse head. Beautiful slate flooring offers both practicality and a premium finish, while a large sash window fills the space with natural light and overlooks the rear courtyard. Underfloor heating continues throughout.   Ground Floor Facilities Further along the rear corridor is a guest bathroom complete with bath and shower over, ideal for walkers returning from the surrounding fells. Beyond this is a generous laundry and drying room, perfectly suited for outdoor equipment, walking boots, and cycling gear.   This area also benefits from:  * Additional WC * Three substantial storage cupboards * External access to the rear courtyard   Lower Ground Floor HillCrest22 benefits from a highly versatile lower ground floor level, accessed internally from the main hall but also benefitting from its own independent external entrance. Currently arranged as an office and conference suite, this flexible space offers excellent potential for private meetings, wellness uses, events, or additional commercial income streams. 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. Larch flooring, high ceilings, and original coving combine to create peaceful and refined spaces. The en-suite bathrooms are finished to an exceptional standard, featuring:  * Carrara marble tiling * Underfloor heating * Heated shower tray areas * Recessed frameless glass shower screens * Whole-house ventilation system for moisture control without noisy extractor fans The overall finish throughout the accommodation is of a standard rarely seen within the guesthouse market.   The Self-Contained Apartment To the rear of the property is a superb one-bedroom self-contained apartment, ideal as manager’s accommodation or an additional income-producing holiday let.

To the rear is a private courtyard and parking area suitable for approximately three vehicles.   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. Despite being only a short and pleasant walk from Keswick town centre, the setting feels remarkably private and immersed in nature. 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.   The Business HillCrest22 was acquired by the current owners in 2010, with an extensive back-to-brick renovation undertaken over the following three years. The scale of works included: * Complete rewiring * New plumbing systems * New plasterwork * Replacement windows * Full interior redesign The business officially opened in 2013 and has since established itself as a highly regarded and successful family-run guesthouse with a loyal customer base and strong reputation.

An utterly delightful country house; sat in established and professionally landscaped gardens and commanding wonderful views of Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe, Swallows House is full of period charm, has generously proportioned rooms and a layout suited to family life and socialising with friends. The picturesque hamlet location is quiet and peaceful, yet centrally positioned in the Lake District National Park, with Ambleside, Hawkshead, Skelwith Bridge and the Langdales all readily accessible. Dating from the 1600s, the house has been extended and updated since 2001 and now offers a hall, highly practical boot room, dining kitchen, a formal and atmospheric dining room, a generous and welcoming main sitting room and a study with garden and fell views. A door leads from the kitchen to the newer part of the house, a sizeable extension added in 2004. With a more contemporary aesthetic, this part of the house is immensely flexible and can be used as an annex for a dependent family member or for longer stay guests or incorporated into the main living space and occupied as one – on offer is a living room, fifth double bedroom (currently used as a games room), ensuite shower room and a utility room with potential to be upgraded to a kitchenette. Back to the original, period property and an airy set of stairs leads up to the first floor with a cloakroom on the half landing. Off the spacious main landing is the principal ensuite bedroom, three further double bedrooms and a house bathroom. Swallows House will doubtless appeal to those looking to make the Lake District their main residence and to buyers seeking an escape, a private slice of heaven for taking a much-needed break when diaries permit. It will also appeal to parties looking to create a bolt hole but share it with others and let it commercially - the present owners offer it to guests through Wheelwrights Holiday Cottages. As such, most of the contents are included in the sale, enabling new owners to transition smoothly and continue the business. For purchases not looking to let, the contents will be useful as you become established, before putting your own stamp on this lovely property. Location Rural, but not isolated, this is a tranquil country location with fabulous uninterrupted views across the valley to the verdant slopes of neighbouring Loughrigg and Fairfield Horseshoe beyond. This picturesque hamlet-setting benefits from being deeply embedded in the very centre of the Lake District, adjacent to the Langdale Valley, with country and fell walks aplenty from the doorstep. There are many iconic Lakeland villages within a ten miles radius; perfect to dip into when you want shops, a break from kitchen duties (there are also a few places to enjoy a meal out within walking distance including the Drunken Duck) or to see a bit of Lakeland-life. And equally a wonderful place to get away from it all and embrace the calm and stillness that this setting offers. Day-to-day needs are met by local shops and amenities in the nearby villages of Ambleside, Elterwater and Hawkshead, with a branch of regional supermarket Booths in Windermere; and of course these days, most of the major supermarkets also deliver to the property. Whether you want the Lake District for rest and relaxation, for quiet contemplation and inspiration, or for exertion and exhilaration there is something here for everyone. Striding out on the fells, cycling the lanes, wild swimming or simply pottering around the shops and sampling the tea and cake on offer, for generations that have been, for generations that currently are and no doubt for generations to come, the Lake District has it all – there is nowhere quite like it. Step Inside Cross the threshold into the flagged hall and there’s a practical boot room for your outdoor kit. The kitchen has extensive cabinets and space for a table, ideal for breakfast and informal suppers. The atmospheric dining room is deeply charismatic and will make a delightful venue for gathering family and friends for candlelit dinners and Sunday lunches after building an appetite on long fell and lake-side walks. There’s an air of grandeur here, with a deep bay window and open fireplace with twin arched alcoves either side. The large sitting room is an impressive room with a high beamed ceiling and generous proportions commanding super fell views from the deep floor-to-ceiling bay window; this accommodates a second smaller seating arrangement, just the spot for watching the birds in the garden. The main seating area is around the open fireplace and a glazed door connects to the garden. Off the sitting room is a study, the view of Loughrigg will either prove inspirational or distracting as you work! From the sitting room an arched recess marks the foot of the wide staircase to the first floor, off the half landing is a cloakroom. The airy stairwell is flooded with natural light from the large skylight overhead and opens to a generous landing. The principal bedroom suite is a large bedroom with fabulous fell views to wake up to (including the Langdale Pikes), while the ensuite bathroom has a five-piece suite. Three further double bedrooms (generously proportioned to the extent two could be sub-divided), each enjoy splendid views and share the house bathroom. Throughout the house, sanitaryware is mainly Villeroy and Boch. A door from the kitchen connects the old part of the house to the extension which incorporated some of the original walls of the original farmhouse.

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. Porcelain tiles form steps and seating areas and have a non-slippery finish to be safer underfoot, Lakeland slate chippings have also been laid in places to echo the stone used on the elevations and in surrounding nature.
