Off the kitchen there is a separate drying and storage area. Up on the second floor you will find another spacious bedroom which can be configured with twin beds or a super kingsize. This room has the same magnificent view over Windermere as the living room. Also on this floor is a family bathroom. To the rear of the property is a garden and decked area where you can sit and look over the rooftops to Windermere and the fells in the distance.
