Luxury Lake District living is found here – Waterbarrow is quite simply a 5 star magnificent residence providing a sublime sophistication rarely found in a Lakeland retreat. Nestling in this sleepy picturesque hamlet and circumscribed by half an acre of magical grounds, 150 yards from the shores of Lake Windermere.
Step inside Waterbarrow – wow – this charming traditional property oozes Lakeland character which blends effortlessly with 21st century indulgencies; picture bay windows with window seats, beautiful and warming fires, slate, wooden & carpeted floors, sumptuous furnishings, luxurious and chic bathrooms and bedrooms, stylish kitchen and the list continues… don’t forget the sauna and wonderful balcony, we instantly fell in love with Waterbarrow. This peaceful country setting is only a mile from Near Sawrey, with pub, hotel and excellent country store and the car ferry, which takes you to popular Bowness, is only a short distance. “Picture postcard” Hawkshead is also nearby and here you are in fabulous walking territory. If searching for somewhere special, whether you are a romantic couple, 2-3 couples or a family, Waterbarrow delivers it all.
The accommodation comprises: having parked your car/s in your own private slate shaled driveway and stepped foot inside, you are instantly marveled; what an impressive entrance hall to a beautiful property. Reception rooms lead off; the drawing room boasts a bay window with superb view, window seat, sumptuous seating and open fire, an open thick walled entrance takes you into the dining area, more wonderful views and perfect for gatherings; the sophisticated kitchen has everything you need, flooded in Lakeland light. The second lounge also boasts a bay window and that view. This level of the house is ingeniously open plan yet “topsey turvey”, light and quirky all in one; the mix of 2 woodburners and an open fire, mood lighting and sheer attention to detail in an architect designed house ensures this is a place to totally relax, unwind and recharge. A spatial flow Victorian staircase leads to the first floor landing and from here on the views get even better. Out of the 3 bedrooms on this level it is hard to say which one we like the best; the antique French furniture king size bedroom is stunning with gorgeous en-suite, but the king size with wonderful balcony has to be seen and experienced. The main bathroom is a place to truly pamper… why can’t we all have a bathroom like this? A staircase leads down from the living level to the spacious sauna and wet room – an absolute must for all who stay here. The gardens are a delightful and magical feature with seating and superb views.
