This lovely second-floor apartment has everything you need for a cosy getaway in the Lakes, just 50 metres from Waterhead Pier for cruises, boat trips and a wide range of water sports right on your doorstep. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the apartment is an ideal escape for one or two couples or a small family. More shopping and dining options are available in Ambleside, less than a mile away, where you can also snap a shot of the famous tiny Bridge House, or investigate the remains of a Roman fort. The dramatic Stock Ghyll Force waterfall is only 1.5 miles from your door, and of course, there are endless walks in the area, from gentle waterside strolls to challenging fell hikes. Head up Skelghyll Woods and over Jenkins Crag, for example, to experience ancient woodlands, glorious views and the National Trust's beautiful Stagshaw Gardens. Combining comfort, quality and stunning lake views, this top-floor apartment within a prestigious waterside development has been carefully designed for the ultimate in relaxation. There are two steps up to the main shared entrance, and from here you can either take the lift or the stairs to the second floor. Once inside your private entrance hall, hang coats in the cupboard and stroll through to the lovely, L-shaped lounge/diner. A choice of plush seating is ready for you to sink into, and if you get tired of the views through the patio doors, there's a TV and a DVD player to help keep you entertained. Tucked around the corner is a generous dining area with room for everyone to get together over leisurely meals. The sleek, cherry-wood kitchen is fully equipped with all your cooking necessities, from a combination microwave to a handy dishwasher, and has views of the rear gardens to enjoy while you cook up a storm. When you're ready for a dreamy night's sleep, there are two cosy bedrooms to choose from. The master bedroom boasts a double bed and an en-suite shower complete with a walk-in rainfall shower and WC. The second bedroom has a comfortable twin set-up and uses the main bathroom, which features a shower over the bath and a WC. Both bedrooms come with garden views and their own TV and radio/iPod dock. For morning coffees, sundowners, or simply a quiet moment with a book, step out onto your private balcony and admire the panoramic views over Lake Windermere. You're also welcome to explore the two acres of landscaped, shared gardens, which have cosy seating areas and more of those breathtaking views. There are no worries about finding parking, as you'll have a designated, covered parking spot outside.
