Sellers Insight Within moments of walking in through the back door, we were hooked, turning to see the first hint of the great views, framed by the Tudor inspired arch…. What is so surprising is that you get no inkling at all as you drive to the house, or from the outside. It’s only when you get to see the other side you get to appreciate the magic of what the elevated position gives. It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.

When the present owners were looking for a family home in the Lakes in 2011 they had one set requirement – a lovely spacious open plan contemporary living space that would provide central focus for their family home, a room in which they could cook, eat and relax; spend time together and host family and friends. Not finding what they wanted, they set about to create it and chanced upon High Ridge. Located in the sought after residential area of Storrs Park on the east side of Lake Windermere in a quiet and gently elevated cul-de-sac setting, the house was built in the 1960s and to be fair to all was ready for overhaul. Combining a series of smaller rooms the vendors were able to design their own dream living space and in doing so, created a bespoke room that not only has windows to all four elevations allowing the light to flood in all day long, but also a room which had the one thing all Lake District residents crave – a view of Lake Windermere. Here at High Ridge it’s even better as different parts of the same room capture a different angle of this super vista especially as picture windows, a wall of bi-folding doors and French windows have been added. To see the masts on the yachts gently bob in the breeze on their moorings or sail elegantly past is really rather wonderful, especially if you happen to be washing up at the time! The ribbon of low lying mist on an autumnal morning is a lovely sight to behold with your morning brew as you contemplate the day ahead. Light, bright, contemporary and highly sociable – it’s just what they wanted and is undoubtedly the heart of this home. The transformation didn’t stop there as all rooms, as well as the outside spaces, received their magic touch. Internally the house has been given a uniform look with new internal joinery (room and cupboard doors, square cut skirting boards and architraves) fitted throughout with a handsome deep brown walnut finish. There’s a great use of natural materials with the inclusion of slate and Italian stone tiling to floor and walls, plus contemporary kitchen and bathroom fittings, including a brand new, modern ensuite bathroom for the master bedroom. The owners have also introduced Karndean flooring to the open plan space, inner bedroom hall, reception hall and cloakroom for its good looks and hard wearing qualities. The second and third bedrooms have engineered spruce flooring with a light colour washed finish continuing the contemporary use of wood. Outside the gardens have been landscaped to provide cleverly positioned seating areas and easy to maintain planting. Whimsically named Christmas Lane conjures all sorts of romantic notions and in many ways lives up to its name, a short cul-de-sac of detached houses, each one completely different in terms of period and style sit harmoniously surrounded by well tended gardens affording privacy for each individual property. The vendors have said that one of the aspects of life on Christmas Lane they have enjoyed the most has been the sense of community with local residents getting together for high days and holidays. The house will no doubt appeal to those who love to entertain as the open plan space is perfect for hosting whether it’s an informal supper for friends or a big bash for a milestone birthday. All in all, High Ridge is recommended for those seeking contemporary good looks, open plan living, low upkeep gardens, an accessible location and a view of Lake Windermere. In all, 0.21 acres. Location High Ridge is exceptionally accessible off the main Bowness to Newby Bridge Road (the A592) but is sufficiently far away from the highway to enjoy a quiet setting and thanks to some timely and thoughtful hedge planting which is now nicely mature, it enjoys a private spot. It is an accessible location both for the central Lake District honey pot villages and nearby larger towns, plus the road and rail network.  Bowness offers great shopping, a multitude of places to eat or enjoy a drink, a local cinema/performing arts venue and an additional theatre venue. If you’re seeking a slower pace of life and access to the water, then the marina, yacht club and motorboat club are all convenient, but if you prefer dry land then Windermere gold club is also handy and there are several routes for walking, running and cycling, right from the doorstep. There is also a popular gym and spa at The Old England Hotel in Bowness.  If you have children of school age, then there are local primary schools in Windermere and secondary education at The Lakes School (at Troutbeck Bridge) and fee paying Windermere School.  Step inside  The main entrance is to the west side of the house where double doors open to a generous reception hall – always a good use of space, a wide hallway is such a lovely place to greet guests and also makes daily comings and goings easier with space to kick off your shoes and store coats. A statement open riser staircase leads to the main living level with steel support and polished wooden treads. Wall lights and downlighters keep it looking sleek. This entrance sets the tone for the rest of the house with its clean lines and restful colour palette. Off the hall is a separate reception room with a tiled slate floor – this is an adaptable room that can be put to a range of functions as family life dictates; it’s been a teenage den but is currently an office to enable working from home. It would suit a media room, gym or studio – endless possibilities, the choice being yours. There’s a point for a wall mounted TV to keep cables hidden and maintain the streamlined look. Beyond the snug is an attractively fitted utility room. The practical tiled slate floor continues and there are base and wall units, a Hotpoint washing machine and condenser tumble drier. Here you’ll find a hatch to the undercroft space under the house. There isn’t full head height but it’s a great accessible space for suitcases and Christmas decorations. Also off the hall is a cloakroom with loo and wash basin and a door to the integral double garage so you can come and go without getting wet if it’s raining – always handy if you are off somewhere special or have a boot full of shopping. The garage has a newly installed electric up and over door, power and light. Up to the first floor, the staircase rises straight into the open plan living space with a contemporary balustrade with wooden handle and steel cable surround. The kitchen has cabinets painted in a matt finish, brushed metal handles and Iroko hardwood worktops. A matching central island with seating along the far side makes for a social and practical layout. A Mercury range takes center stage and will doubtless appeal to keen cooks with a gas hob and electric ovens. Often a concern with open living, there’s a fan above the range so cooking smells don’t permeate the living space. There is an integral Hotpoint dishwasher and a stable door to the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is the area zoned for dining with double opening French windows and a Juliette balcony commanding a lake view. Moving to the seating area there is a point for a wall mounted TV and also an alternative front door. It enjoys new ceiling mounted spotlights, plus an inside/outside feel with a wall of bi-folding doors to the south opening to a balcony, again, enjoying lake views. The perfect place for a morning coffee or chilled sundowner as you watch the sun set over Claife Heights on the far side of the lake. A door leads to the inner bedroom hall of which are the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The hall has two sets of built in cupboards with walnut finished doors and automatic lights upon opening. Continuing the look, the master bedroom has walnut finished doors to a built in double wardrobe and a newly refurbished modern en-suite bathroom with marbled vein effect tiled walls and flooring, a large walk in shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Two further double bedrooms share the stylish house bathroom with a three piece suite of bath with shower and screen, wash basin and loo. Step outside There are in and out gates making the parking easy to navigate but also meaning the garden can be enclosed to be safe for children and dogs. The drives open to a generous parking area. A path laid with black slate and contemporary black pointing extends around the house opening to wider terraces at both the front and rear. Bordered by hedges there are mature shrubs and lawns, all designed to be low maintenance. There’s outside lighting and an external tap. The rear terrace gets the best of the evening sun and is a lovely place to watch the sun set over the lake. Services Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage.

Sellers' Insight: The best thing about living here is the privacy, peace and quiet. We have always felt that this house has a lovely atmosphere, and it is hard to believe that we are actually living on one of the main routes into Brighton, but because we have such a long drive, are tucked away behind our neighbours and at the end of all our neighbours? gardens we hear little more than birdsong. We also have very little light pollution considering the location. We have a variety of wildlife including badgers, foxes, bats and abundant birdlife including the occasional pheasant! Withdean woods are close by as well as Withdean stadium and sports complex. Having lived here for almost 18 years, it has been the perfect home for entertaining. The back garden is a sun trap, and the external fireplace means that the outdoors can be enjoyed at any time of year. It is a really sociable house, given the open plan layout and the high ceilings and amount of light coming in that we have created. This is also the perfect lock up and leave as it is very secure with an alarm system and cctv that you can monitor when you are away and the garden is really low maintenance, and once you do return home, once those electric gates close, it is a very private and peaceful haven. Within 5 minutes you can be on the South Downs, on the A23 heading towards Gatwick or London, or indeed halfway into Brighton. We are about 1 mile from the A27, 2 miles from town and 3 miles from the sea and there is a very convenient bus stop nearby and Preston Park station is a 15-minute walk, Brighton station a little further, taking you to London and beyond.? Ground floor: The Coach House has been meticulously renovated by the current owners of who have been very happy here for almost twenty years. Tucked away down a large private driveway, beautifully laid to shingle, this striking period home neatly sits behind an electronic gate. A comprehensive security system also includes an upgraded alarm system and CCTV, all controllable via smart phone. Built at the turn of the 20th century as the original coach house to neighbouring Cransley Lodge, constructed in the striking Tudorbethan style, every care has been taken to accentuate the character of the building. Particular attention has been given to the renovation of the brickwork, quoining?s, Portland stone window sills and doorstep, cedar timbers, metal guttering and extensive leadwork. An expertly renovated weathervane sits proudly atop the faultless terracotta tiled roof. An electric vehicle charging point has been installed and recently upgraded to accommodate rapid charging. Upon entering the property via the entrance hall, an ingenious space saving pocket door leads directly into the considerable open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room.

Natural materials feature prominently in the decor of this elegant home; a marble splashback, engineered wood flooring and dual aspect windows and sliding doors truly celebrate the outdoors. Whilst the most remarkable oak beams sit neatly overhead cleverly using concealed lighting to create an inherently tranquil setting. The room leads effortlessly on to the dining area, suitably placed near the gorgeous suspended log burning stove and patio doors which open out to the garden; the space is perfect for entertaining all year round.

DIRECTIONS W3W twee.handfuls.meals Sellers Insight When we first discovered The Residence in Kenchester, we were instantly drawn to its history and unmistakable Georgian proportions. As someone with an architectural background, I could see the potential immediately: the scale, the symmetry, the light, and those wonderfully tall ceilings that my 6’6” husband fell in love with on the spot. It was clear the house had been neglected, but the bones were magnificent – it simply needed careful, sympathetic restoration to reveal what had always been there. Over the years, we have completely renovated the property from top to bottom, restoring original shutters, window boxes, and period detailing, while introducing modern comforts that make it an exceptional family home. The layout now works beautifully, with the main house flowing into distinct, private areas: a guest suite, a separate master level, and a transformed children’s wing that now feels like its own bright, open living space rather than a series of dormitory rooms. We’ve also added thoughtful practicalities such as a powder room, butler’s pantry, and scullery. At the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, complete with a huge island and even a champagne sink – designed for entertaining on any scale. And entertain we have: from marquee garden parties for 100 guests, to village gatherings, christenings, and unforgettable birthdays, including a Swan Lake performance in the drawing room beside our baby grand piano. Outside, the gardens are truly special – established with rare and colourful specimens, with hidden pathways, quiet corners, and an orchard of plum, pear and apple trees, plus a magnificent walnut. Two generous driveways provide ample parking, and the terrace offers a front-row seat to the spectacle of parachutists - drifting down from the nearby army base Stirling Lines. Kenchester itself is a rare joy: a friendly hamlet centred around the church, with neighbours taking turns to host drinks and dinners, and a wonderful new French restaurant nearby. With a school bus collecting children for Hereford Cathedral School and superfast broadband throughout, The Residence offers historic charm, modern ease, and an extraordinary sense of community.
