Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park, just a short stroll

from Windermere centre, this fantastic family home boasts a sizeable

garden and is a true rarity for such a sought after location. Built by the

renowned Lake District architect Abraham Pattinson in 1919 to his typical

half Lakeland slate finish, this home is sure to prove popular with families.

With a total of 5 double bedrooms on offer, four reception rooms, a dining

kitchen and converted cellar offering versatile space for a snug, cinema

room or gym – there is flexible and spacious accommodation suited to

the largest of families. The garden is perfectly set for children with a large

and neatly kept lawn bounded by tall trees for added privacy. Practically,

there are two driveways on offer with plentiful parking and a single detached

garage. There is also a great choice of local schooling right on your doorstep

and activities and attractions a plenty to keep the whole family entertained,

whether that be water sports on the lake or scenic walks throughout the

fells of the National Park.

Located just on the outskirts of the main hustle and bustle of Windermere

village, Ashdown House offers the best of both worlds. The private setting

is just a short stroll to the plethora of independent shops, cafes, restaurants

and bars of this popular destination. A short bus ride or manageable walk

brings you to the waterfront and the Lake Districts ‘honeypot destination’,

Bowness-On-Windermere. The A592 is only a 5 minute drive away so it’s

a great area for those who are looking to commute or for an easily accessed

holiday home.

The grand entrance doorway to the front of this impressive home opens

in to the entrance porch, forming part of an extension added in the 1920s.

This area affords ample space for coats and shoes as well as access to a

neatly presented W.C. Leading into the entrance hall, the aesthetics in here

really sets the tone for this period property with high ceilings, wooden

floors and archways leading across the accommodation. The décor

throughout has been updated to be in keeping with the Edwardian era,

with rich coloured walls that accentuate the original features.


The first reception room is presently utilised as a music room however

would also make for a great formal dining space. This large room offers a

lovely bay window looking out over the garden, high ceilings, picture rail

and a restored Victorian fireplace complete with original tiled inset and

marble surround. Folding doors open up into the adjoining sitting room

which is a fantastic feature for entertaining, creating a flowing social space.

Also accessed from the dining room is a quietly located study featuring its

own semi-circle bay window complete with window seats from which to

enjoy the garden aspect.

The sitting room is another sizeable reception space and again features

an array of period features to include the marble surround fireplace housing

a quality multi-fuel stove and framed by arched windows to either side.

The wooden floors in here extend into the open plan conservatory which

boasts direct views over the garden and in turn floods both rooms with

natural light. There is access here out onto the patio which is a great space

for alfresco dining in the summer months.

The dining kitchen is perfect for families with space for a more informal

dining setting and a large array of wooden units finished with granite

worktops. The 3 oven gas AGA is a great addition, set within a tiled nook

and the room even features the original Victorian bell system. There is also

a Smeg electric oven with a two ring gas hob, integrated NEFF dishwasher

and two integrated fridge/freezers. French doors open out onto the patio

in the rear garden and the slate floor leads into the adjoining boot and

utility room. There is a further selection of units in here along with space

for a washing machine and dryer, access to the outdoor store and main

driveway.

From the kitchen, stairs lead down to the cellar that offers a fantastic

addition to this already generous home. The cellar offers two good sized

store rooms and a versatile reception room presently utilised as a gym

however it would make for a great cinema room or teenage hangout with

wiring for Sky TV already in place.


The original staircase leads up past a beautiful feature stained glass window

to the fi rst fl oor landing. On this fl oor there are a total of three double

bedrooms. This includes the impressive master suite complete with a

walk-in dressing room/study and ensuite shower room fi nished with quality

leathered granite effect bathroom tiles. The bedroom itself is bright and

spacious with three tall windows giving views over the side and a further

two built in storage cupboards. The other two double bedrooms both

boast good proportions (one has a fi tted cabin bed with storage above),

garden views and ensuite shower rooms. There is also a modern family

bathroom fi nished with a period feel, complete with a Victoria & Albert

claw foot, roll top bath, double headed Grohe shower and underfl oor

heating. A staircase leads up to the second fl oor where you will fi nd the

remaining two double bedrooms and a compact W.C. The largest of these

bedrooms, referred to as ‘The dormitory’ due to its sizeable proportions,

is a versatile space that whilst is sure to be the competition for all the

children, would also make for a great playroom or the whole fl oor could

be utilised to create an additional, show stopping master suite.


Two driveways service the property, one to the front accessed via Lake Road and one to the rear of the garden accessed via Princes Road and leads to a detached single garage, so there is ample private parking available. Paths

lead around either side of the property to the large, family friendly rear garden. A patio area sits at the top of the lawn, accessed from the kitchen and conservatory, which is a great sunny spot ideal for outdoor dining and

occasional furniture. There is even an area for a BBQ and steps leading down onto the large, neatly kept lawn. The lawn is surrounded by tall trees and shrubs for added privacy and proves relatively low maintenance to suit those

with busy family lives. Practically, there is also a garden store attached to the house, a shed and a covered courtyard area to the side and access into the utility/boot room.
