Windermere property on the market for £1.8million

Beech Rock, in Helm Road, Windermere, was built in June 2021 on the foundations of a bungalow and offers three bathrooms, under floor heating, heat pump heating, triple glazed windows and a large balcony with glass front.

According to estate agents Ashdown Jones Windermere, the property is less than a ten-minute walk from Bowness and is currently used as a ‘high end’ holiday let.

The agents’ description on a listing on Rightmove said: “Old meets new in this handsome traditionally styled home forged from split-face stone, composite cedar panelling, vast high quality German-engineered windows, aluminium guttering and reclaimed slate blue slate roof.

“Whatever the season, flow out onto the balcony, where glass balustrades preserve views out to the leafy canopy and lush lawn below.

One of the property's four double bedrooms

“Dine alfresco in the summer, and sooth your muscles in the hot tub whilst gazing up at the stars in the winter months. Underfloor heating permeates the whole of the downstairs, served by an eco-friendly Air Source Heat Pump, controllable by Hive app.

“Woodland views entreat upon arrival at the first of four sumptuously styled double bedrooms - each benefitting from their own dressing room and ensuite.

“Outside, Beech Rock represents an oasis of calm in the busy bustle of Bowness.

The property's balcony

“Beneath the canopy of trees surrounding the expanse of lawn below the hot tub balcony, watch for the grazing of deer. A truly remarkable sight.

“Set to a backdrop of mature woodland, nature is in abundance. Surrounded by rhododendrons, admire the haze of colour in springtime, followed by the firework display of autumnal shades at the end of summer. A constantly changing environment throughout the seasons, enjoy snowy days snuggled up beside the log burner as the flurries fall.

The bright kitchen

“Children can enjoy an endless array of attractions, from paddle boarding on Windermere to hikes up the surrounding hills such as Orrest Head with its views over the lake and fells. Follow the footpath from Beech Rock, turning left up over the hills and continue on into rurality.

“Families are well served by local parks and schools, including the independent Windermere School. A modern home, borrowing elements from the past in its design, there is space for all the family at Beech Rock, a tranquil woodland retreat in easy reach of the lights and night life of Bowness.”
