This wonderful, link-attached cottage was originally a stable block for a gentleman's residence, in a pleasant residential cul-de-sac on the fringes of Bowness-on-Windermere.
Presented to a good standard throughout, the cottage offers a comfortable ground floor sitting room with a dining space and a cosy woodburning stove, plus lovely double doors leading to a pleasant courtyard to the front of the property.
There is also a well-equipped, modern kitchen, two ground floor bedrooms, one of which is a king-size double and one with the flexible zip/link option of being a king-size double or a twin, plus a good-size family bathroom.
A further king-size bedroom with a modern en-suite shower room, fitted wardrobes and a vanity area is located on the first floor.
The well-established, elevated garden enjoys pretty views and the well-furnished decking is a lovely place to sit and enjoy an early morning drink, or a lunch-time feast on the barbecue.
Bowness is a short walk away and offers a wide selection of places to eat and drink, from tea and cake to bars to splendid restaurants; there really is something for everyone.
From The Glebe, you can take a leisurely walk along the edge of Lake Windermere or, why not take the weight off your feet and enjoy a trip on Windermere Lake Cruises?
The cruises have several stop options, including Lakeside and the Lakes Aquarium, Ambleside, the Brockhole Visitor Centre or the National Trust property, Wray Castle.
Take a trip to The Old Laundry Theatre, and the young ones will love The World of Beatrix Potter!
Step back in time at the traditional Royalty Cinema, offering the latest movies and a Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ from a by-gone era, which can be heard in concert or alongside a silent movie.
Further afield, Kendal’s castle ruins, museums and shopping, and Ambleside’s bustling town centre are a short ride away.
For those seeking to explore the great outdoors, why not take the car ferry across Lake Windermere to Grizedale Forest, with its excellent walking and mountain biking trails, and high rope tree-top adventure course at Go Ape?
If the weather isn’t so great, visit Rheged, where you will find local food producers, gift-ware and exhibitions, or take in a 3D film on their enormous movie screen.
Families and friends alike will enjoy this wonderful cottage, providing a great base for exploring this fantastic region, at any time of year.
