Newly refurbished for Summer 2010!
Wow - what a find, Wansfell Holme is a magnificent Lakeland residence commanding simply breathtaking panoramic views out over Lake Windermere and backing onto Wansfell. One Wansfell Holme is the main portion of a historic Summer Mansion, this magical Grade 11 Listed residence displays many original features. Breathtaking in every way, we are sure you will agree this is a place enjoying the very best of both worlds; with access to the majority of the acre of beautiful gardens and grounds, a truly relaxing atmosphere, yet only a few minutes stroll from Waterhead and vibrant Ambleside - what a perfect combination...
Oozing Grade II listed character and charm, spacious and gracious in every way - this is somewhere to spend precious time together and soak up Victorian luxury which blends effortlessly with 21st century indulgencies. This sublime setting with high quality accommodation and panoramic views over Lake Windermere and with the backdrop of the Lakeland fells makes this place very special indeed.
Ambleside is teeming with mouth watering restaurants, bars, country pubs and local shops and Waterhead itself boasts 2 excellent eateries with Lake Frontage. Steamers depart from Waterhead on a regular basis to take you to other pretty destinations. This is a walker's paradise; the property backs onto Wansfell and is surrounded by National Trust Land. One Wansfell Holme forms the main portion of this glorious original Gentleman's residence and yet you would never know you have neighbours as privacy is so apparent. If searching for somewhere truly special to spend time with family or friends in Lakeland's most desirable setting, with views that will remain with you long after you leave this is not to be missed.
The accommodation comprises: a private sweeping driveway leads you to the impressive sandstone entrance porch; step foot inside One Wansfell Holme and say as we did - Wow! The grand entrance reception hallway; the drawing room has relaxing elegance and wonderful views; the dining room is stunning - a place for formal gatherings and with more spectacular views through twin French windows leading out to the garden room / conservatory, also overlooking the lake. The kitchen is very well equipped again overlooking the lake and also with access into the conservatory. There is a utility room on this ground level as well as a cloakroom with 3rd WC. A beautiful sweeping balustrade staircase leads to an equally impressive landing. Each of the four spacious bedrooms are superb and, uniquely, they all have views of Lake Windermere and the mountains beyond; quite unforgettable. The master suite has to be seen to be believed, fit for any Royal visitor! This bedroom has a luxurious en-suite shower room and the main bathroom is straight out of any glossy magazine - a place to really unwind.
