This outstanding contemporary property was recently given a luxurious makeover and is available year round for families or groups up to ten. It has been thoughtfully fitted out with everything needed for a relaxing home from home in the Lake District. Built on one level, this stylish property has a short flight of steps to the front door from the car park area which has ample parking space for up to four cars. Beside the ornamental pond is a side gate giving access to the terrace and gardens behind the house. Sweden Close boasts well fitted en-suite bathrooms for both of the kingsize bedrooms and the generous master suite with super king size bed and seating area. The two twins have zip and link beds so can be put together on request to make super kings and share a family bathroom. Please let us know your bed configuration choice at the time of booking. Each bedroom and the spacious open plan living-dining-kitchen room have floor to ceiling windows making the interior space bright and airy, allowing guests to view the extensive, mature gardens, garden terrace and distant views of Windermere. The well-fitted kitchen is designed around the kitchen island with bar stools making it an ideal place to socialise and chat after a day out exploring. Large sliding glass doors open out onto the terrace with outside seating. In the living-dining area there is ample seating around the long dining table for everyone to chat and catch up over a home-made, or brought in, meal. In addition there is a separate games room / snug for some uninterrupted gaming or just to be still and read a book. The outside terraced area has comfortable seating to enjoy the sun long into summer evenings and further seating in the raised area of the gardens behind the house. There is private onsite parking for 4 cars. Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome, subject to an additional charge.

The bustling town of Ambleside is a short stroll away and has become a popular tourist resort offering a diverse range of eateries from picnic takeaways to a Michelin starred restaurant. It boasts three cinemas, gift shops, outdoor clothing stores, hotels, cafes, pubs and a park with outdoor activities. It even has its own Roman ruins to explore, for those interested in history. Of course England’s largest lake, Windermere, is on the doorstep offering all the fun of a variety of water sports, lake cruises and is just a great place to sit and watch the world go by. For those who wish to explore further afield, Ambleside is a connection point for buses to connect guests with the wider towns and outstanding scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Leaving the car behind and jumping on a bus to explore the National Park not only helps to look after the spectacular landscape but also gives passengers the opportunity to see it without the challenge of negotiating narrow, and sometimes steep, country lanes or search for parking at your destination. By sitting back watching the landscape go by, the journey becomes part of your adventure!
