Ullswater, located in the picturesque region of Cumbria in the North of England, is often regarded as the most stunning lake in the Lake District, drawing comparisons to Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. This serpentine lake stretches approximately nine miles, bordered by breathtaking fells, lush woodlands, and majestic mountains. Visitors can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area, enjoying a variety of walking trails and water activities. The lakeside villages provide essential amenities, and options for exploration include crossing the lake on a steamer or traversing the mountains to reach Ambleside. Notable walking routes lead to Howton, the enchanting Aira Force waterfall, and the charming town of Penrith.
The accommodation, set within expansive grounds, is a former Lakeland barn that impresses with its size and charm. Upon entering through the rear courtyard, guests are greeted by a spacious boot room that offers ample storage. The heart of the home is a large, well-appointed farmhouse-style kitchen, equipped with modern appliances such as an AGA-style oven, electric oven, gas hob, microwave, and American-style fridge/freezer. This inviting kitchen also features a dining table, a television, and a Bose iPod dock, making it an ideal space for gathering and enjoying meals together.
Transitioning from the kitchen, visitors will find an elegant central hall characterized by its high, pitched, beamed ceiling, which includes a dining area perfect for special occasions. The cozy lounge, with its comfortable seating and a roaring open fire, provides a relaxing atmosphere for unwinding or enjoying a movie night. A winding staircase leads to the lower level, where a long hall connects to a laundry room and a snug area designed for children, complete with sofas and a large TV. The property boasts four well-appointed bedrooms, including a master super king-size suite with an en suite bathroom featuring a separate shower, bath, and WC, as well as another super king-size room with a similar en suite. Two twin bedrooms, each with three beds, share a bathroom equipped with a bath, shower, and WC.
Outside, guests can enjoy terraced patios and lawn areas adorned with shrubs and trees, offering stunning views of Ullswater and the surrounding mountains. These gardens provide a serene environment for adults to relax while children can play freely. It is important to note that the property does not permit the charging of electric vehicles using a standard plug for insurance reasons, with the nearest charging facility located approximately five miles away. Overall, this accommodation combines comfort, elegance, and a prime location for exploring the natural wonders of Ullswater and its surroundings.
