The property

Brackenthwaite is a traditional detached Lakeland cottage, situated on a quiet cul-de-sac road, located half way between Bowness and Windermere, Cumbria.

With a private driveway and parking for three cars, stunning countryside views, and welcoming one well-behaved pet, this charming retreat is perfect for families or friends seeking a tranquil escape amidst the stunning landscapes of the Lake District.

Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped with all the essentials you need to prepare delightful meals for your group.

Adjacent to the kitchen, you will find a handy utility room housing a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge/freezer, perfect for those longer stays.

The dining room, with seating for six, is an ideal space for enjoying meals together, and with a selection of books on hand, it's a great spot for a quiet read after dinner.

After a day of exploring, retreat to the inviting sitting room, where you can relax and unwind in front of the Smart TV.

The property boasts three well-presented bedrooms- a super-king-size, a double, and a twin, all offering a serene sanctuary for a rejuvenating night's rest.

A family bathroom, complete with a bath, shower over, basin, and WC, serves these rooms.

A convenient cloakroom with a basin and WC completes the interior of this charming abode.

Outside, you will find a lovely large garden with furniture, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or dining alfresco on warmer days.

This quiet residential road is perfectly placed to explore all Windermere and Bowness has to offer, with footpaths nearby taking you through the woods and down to the lake shore, the popular Lake District holiday location, nestling on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere, is alive with all the boating activities of Bowness Bay.

Enjoy shops, tempting cafes, excelled Lake District restaurants and cosy traditional pubs, or stroll to the pier to hop on a Windermere Lake Cruise to Ambleside or Lakeside - a lovely way to explore without even using your car.

Families can take their pick from a range of attractions in Bowness; mini golf on the Glebe, the famous World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, the Old Laundry Theatre.
