Mr Fordham

“Peaceful setting and well maintained property”

- Mr Fordham,
Miss Jarvis

“The property was perfect for what we needed, very accessible to walk to both local towns and a good base to explore further out.”

It was a home away from home with the furnishings being of a very high standard. I would definitely recommend this property

thank you all for your help and kind service.

The property

This sophisticated detached Lakeland cottage truly enjoys the very best of both worlds; strolling distance from bustling Bowness and the shores of Lake Windermere, yet in absolute peace and quiet, commanding outstanding views. Abbotsgarth Heights commands a gently elevated position providing breathtaking views to the Lakeland Fells, and when the leaves fall the view over Lake Windermere is magnificent. This beautiful place offers a fantastic base from which to explore this vibrant village, the magic of Lake Windermere and also the wider Lake District. A soothing open-plan living space, with separate games / quiet room, makes the ideal environment for relaxed gatherings or sociable occasions. Two couples or a family can spread out and relax without treading on any toes; the two superbly chic bedrooms have their own luxurious bathroom facilities. ==Accommodation in detail Driveway leads to private parking adjacent to the cottage.
