Greenstyles

Nestled just on the outskirts of Bowness (yet set in rolling fields and fells), Greenstyles is a picture-perfect traditional Lakeland cottage full of charm, with great views of the fells and glimpses of Lake Windermere.

As you step into the cottage through the solid wooden front door, there’s a spacious hallway, with sitting room to the right and the light and bright kitchen/dining room to the left. The well-equipped kitchen with top quality appliances has everything you need to cook up that hearty breakfast or celebration meal. Walk through the arch into the dining room where you can all gather and relax, socialise and celebrate. Light streams in through a wall of fell-view windows, where a glazed stable style door takes you to the outside space, ideal for mid-summer meals alfresco. Across the hall is the sitting room with feature rustic beams and a wood burning stove. Relax in the comfy sofas or window seats watching TV or reading. Glazed double doors lead from here through into the garden room, with access to the large, mature garden. A choice of sofas awaits you, perfect for afternoon tea or indeed just relaxing and reading the paper. Windows on three sides provide views of the surrounding fields and fells. On the ground floor is a good-sized utility room with washing machine and drier, iron and ironing board, and heated towel rail to enable you to dry any wet coats. Upstairs are 3 pretty cottage bedrooms: super king size, King size (can be made into twins if needed) and single, all with views. These rooms are complemented by a large, smart family bathroom with fabulous uninterrupted views of the lake and the fells, a double walk-in shower, vanity unit with twin basins and WC. To the rear of the cottage is the fabulous, large garden with an extensive lawned area, mature trees and bushes; great for exploring and enjoying the views. An area with garden furniture is a great place to have breakfast in the morning on a sunny day or indeed in the evening. A must for those clear days not to mention a glass or two in the evening gazing at the stars.

Greenstyles is in a quiet rural location, just 2 miles away from the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, the popular Lake District holiday location, nestling on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere and alive with all the boating activities of Bowness Bay.
