Ambleside 2.3 miles.
Paddock House is a stunning, architecturally designed property set overlooking Lake Windermere, a couple of miles south of Ambleside in the Lake District.
Surrounded by nature and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this spectacular property enjoys a private setting with a large, secure garden and hot tub, perfect for a week away with family and friends.
Upon arrival, pull into the off-road parking area and enter through the large front door.
Step into the open-plan living space and you’ll immediately be captivated by the jaw-dropping views over Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells: Claife Heights, Hawkshead, Wray Castle, Coniston Old Man, Bow Fell, Crinkle Crags and even Scafell Pike can be admired from the living room.
Curl up on the sofa before the woodburning stove and enjoy a movie night from the Smart TV, or enjoy an evening of friendly competition on the ping-pong table.
A few steps up lead into the kitchen, complete with a fantastic range of appliances, sure to encourage home-cooking.
The first bedroom sits downstairs, offering a king-size and en-suite bathroom, whilst upstairs lies a super-king-size with en-suite bathroom and a double with en-suite shower room, both neatly presented and offering exceptional views.
Outside, admire the views from the hot tub after a long day of rambling, or perhaps start your day in style with a quick dip before showering off and venturing out to explore.
