Poole Brae Family Getaway

Summary:
Poole Brae is a spacious four-bedroom retreat with breathtaking views of Lake Windermere. Just a short walk from Bowness, this beautifully designed home features a stylish open-plan kitchen, multiple living areas, spa-style bathrooms, and a hot tub overlooking the fells. Landscaped gardens and private parking complete the setting, offering a peaceful base for exploring the Lake District.

The Space:
Poole Brae is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home, perfectly positioned above Lake Windermere with panoramic views across the water and surrounding fells. Just a short walk from the center of Bowness-on-Windermere, this stylish property blends traditional Lakeland character with modern comfort—offering a peaceful family retreat in the heart of the Lake District.

Inside, the house features spacious and thoughtfully designed interiors, including an open-plan kitchen and dining area fitted with sleek cabinetry, Corian worktops, and high-spec integrated appliances. Glass doors lead directly out to a large patio terrace, ideal for outdoor dining, with a private hot tub and uninterrupted views of the lake—an idyllic space for relaxing after a day exploring.

Across three floors, there are multiple living areas, including a bright first-floor lounge with log-burning stove, surround sound system, mood lighting, and access to a private balcony. Each of the four bedrooms is generously sized, with calming décor and scenic outlooks; several enjoy direct lake views. Bathrooms are finished to a high standard, including spa-style en-suites and a freestanding bath positioned to take in the surrounding landscape.

The gardens are beautifully landscaped and carefully tended, with a mix of sheltered seating areas and elevated viewpoints. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or watching the stars come out over the lake, the outdoor space makes the most of its spectacular setting.

Poole Brae also benefits from private parking for three cars. There is fast Wi-Fi throughout, and easy access to scenic walking routes straight from the door, including local favorites like Ghyll Head and trails to Winster and Crosthwaite.

Bowness, a 15-minute walk away, is home to a wide range of cafés, restaurants, pubs, and independent shops, as well as the Windermere Lake Cruises pier for boat trips to Ambleside and Lakeside.
