The property

Halewood is a charming, detached bungalow located in Bowness-On-Windermere, Cumbria. This delightful residence in the Lake District offers dog-friendly accommodation and is near to Lake Windermere and spectacular walks, with high-quality utilities and contemporary living areas all on the ground floor.

When you arrive, there is off-road parking for three cars, a well-kept front garden, and a porch where you can the world go by.

Inside, you'll discover a spotless kitchen with a breakfast bar for two, an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, and everything you'll need to create home-cooked meals for six people.

You can dine at the table for six in the living/dining room or al fresco in your private, rear garden; why not follow with a cold beverage on the swing seat to relax in the evening sun?

As night falls retreat to the cushioned seating, large Smart TV, and a range of books in the light and open sitting area with a bay window overlooking the garden.

With a washing machine, tumble dryer, and basin, the utility room is ideal for sorting walking gear and muddy boots after a hike around the Lakes, while the shower room has a walk-in shower and heated towel rail to keep your towel warm and ready.

Halewood features three lovely, minimalist bedrooms, each with storage space, including two king-sizes with bay windows and a double, for guests to make themselves right at home.

Bowness-On-Windermere is a fantastic base for a holiday in the Lake District, with so much to see and do, whether it's sailing and watersports on Lake Windermere, just a short distance from Halewood, or visiting classic characters at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, golfing with incredible views at Windermere Golf Club, or hiking up Orrest Head Viewpoint in Windermere.

If you want to take a break from cooking, there are a number of restaurants to choose from, including The Boathouse Bar & Restaurant, Hooked, which serves locally caught fish, and San Pietro Windermere Restaurant, which serves Italian cuisine.

Visit the National Trust's Wray Castle or Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's quaint home, to learn more about Lake Windermere, or climb to the top of Claife Heights for panoramic views of your gorgeous surroundings.

Grizedale is a short drive away for more outdoor adventures, with plenty of walking and cycling routes for the whole family, but if you're looking for a challenge, Scafell Pike and the Helvellyn are a must!

You'll also have easy access to stunning Lakeland places such as Ambleside, which has a Roman Fort and the majestic Stock Ghyll Force, Grasmere, where you can visit William Wordsworth's former house, and Kendal, which is close to the National Trust's 14th-century Sizergh Castle.

At Halewood, you'll find all of this and more on your next Lake District trip.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
