Description of Craigside

Set in landscaped grounds on the wooded slopes above Lake Windermere, Craigside features stunning views and spacious, beautifully appointed rooms (all bedrooms en-suite) to create this wonderful detached holiday home. This architect-designed property provides a unique atmosphere to relax in comfort and elegance, whilst close to the fashionable lakeside village of Bowness (1½ miles) with its stylish boutiques, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants. The first floor living area has huge picture windows looking across the lake towards the Grizedale Forest, the Coniston range and the Langdales. The secluded yet sunny garden features sloping lawns, a high natural rock garden and tall trees. A private stile gives access to extensive walking trails, hills, crags, and woodland. Wildlife abounds and an occasional deer might stealthily intrude on the garden whilst the paddock in front is often the home to quietly grazing horses. The elevated terrace offers peace and tranquillity to relax for a quiet drink, read or just to watch the bird life. The kitchen is fully equipped for gourmet cooking with white tableware and fine glassware to set off the large oak and slate dining table. The property is double-glazed throughout and utilises a high efficiency heat pump and oil combined central heating system. At the heart of southern Lakeland, the area abounds with historical houses and gardens including Holker Hall, Sizergh Castle, Levens Hall and many National Trust properties. The Lake District is an absolute paradise of superb walks, climbs and scrambles with fantastic views as a reward for the effort. Shop 1½ miles, pub ½ mile.
