3 Bedroom Cottage in Bowness-on-windermere

This welcoming townhouse sits within a sought-after location, an equal distance from each end of Lake Windermere and just 1.5 miles from bustling Bowness – the largest town in the Lake District National Park – where you’ll find a fine choice of inns, eateries and entertainment for all ages. Enjoy boat trips on the lake, take a ferry across the water to Far Sawrey, or drive 5 miles north to Brockhole for lakeside strolls, a fabulous adventure playground and full menu of outdoor activities. Walkers are spoilt for choice within the surrounding Cumbrian countryside – the Bowness Circular is a scenic 8-mile hike covering five fells and delivering panoramic lake views, the Dales Way leads from Windermere to Kendal (9 miles), and the National Trust’s Fell Foot offers parkland, meadows and lakeshore to explore.

A leafy landscape surrounds prestigious Storrs Park; admire the view on your approach to this contemporary three-storey property. Private parking makes it easy to unload luggage and pets; once inside, the ground floor features a handy utility room with laundry facilities, a cloakroom, and access to a garage where you can securely store bikes, kayaks and other outdoor gear. Follow the stairs to the first floor and step into an open-plan social space with a contemporary kitchen, bar-style dining area and a comfortable lounge with plenty of soft seating including a reclining sofa, where you can unwind and watch TV after a busy day of outdoor activity. When it’s time to sleep, head up to the second floor where three elegant bedrooms ensure peaceful slumbers. Choose between two king-size rooms or one with a full-size single bed plus a smaller pull-out single – best-suited to children – beneath. A family-style bathroom ensures convenience and comfort for all.

The first floor of the property sits at ground level to the rear of the property, with a door from the lounge area opening onto an enclosed patio garden which is south-facing and furnished for al fresco dining.
