The Birches is a beautiful, detached property with stone features, resting a few minutes from the centre of the town of Windermere and offering splendid accommodation for a family or a group of friends looking to explore the many wonders of the Lake District and Cumbria.
Finished to a high eco standard which includes each room having its own individually controlled heating sensors, you will be charmed by the care that has been taken to create an air of opulence throughout this property, beginning in the open-plan living space, a fantastic social hub with a light and airy atmosphere.
Flick on the kettle in the contemporary kitchen and make the most of the many home-from-home amenities available, cooking up a storm to be served at the dining table, or for a more informal setting, the breakfast bar.
In the warmer months, throw open the bifold doors and enjoy an alfresco affair on the patio.
Afterwards, retire to the charming sitting area with two large L-shaped sofas, Smart TV and the added ambience of an electric fire, ideal for a movie marathon using the included Disney Plus or Netflix accounts.
Alternatively, breakout in the conservatory snug using the included Nintendo Switch or Android tablet, taking note of the characterful exposed stone feature wall.
The beautiful décor of this property continues as you retire into one of the four bedrooms after a long day of exploring the local area.
Choose between two stunning king-size rooms one with a connected dressing room both with fitted wardrobes and stylish en-suites, a twin zip/link bedroom which can be set up as a king-size on request, also with a tasteful en-suite, and, on the second-floor following a narrow staircase, discover a delightful king-size with snug space and a fantastic en-suite with a large shower and contemporary tiles.
