Built in 1861 and once home to a Captain Dand, it is now a collection of beautifully converted apartments, each with its own character and charm. Sitting high above Sawrey Knotts, looking down on all around is Tower Cottage. It looks like a castle but in truth is an old Victorian folly, complete with castellation. From up here, you feel like master of all you purvey, gazing over the panorama below - the local woods and hills, Windermere and the fells east and west of the lake. What a glorious spot for relaxing and enjoying life, hopefully while basking in sunshine! Tower Cottage is a cottage with a difference. You'll find it hard to beat the views from its veranda or to match its central location, ideal for exploring the countryside around, making it great for couples, friends and families. Ground floor Entrance into the kitchen/diner; wooden beams and slate floor complement a fully equipped kitchen with electric cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine & tumble dryer. A large bay window with bench allows you to take in the views from inside if the weather is inclement. There is also a shower room with W.C just off the kitchen, great if you've returned home a little muddy. The cosy living room has a large slate fireplace complete with stove and comfortable sofas to enjoy the fire, the view or both. There's a TV too if you ever bore of the aforementioned view. First floor A wooden staircase leads up to two bedrooms, both providing Lakeland views and en suite bathrooms. Bedroom 1 - double bed, lake views, en-suite bathroom with shower & W.C. Bedroom 2 - king size bed (or twin 2'6" single beds), lake views, en-suite W.C & wash basin.
