The Sanctuary is a quintessential, Cumbrian slate cottage, converted from an old church school building, located at the end of a private driveway off Ambleside Rd, with the added luxury of two designated car parking spaces. Having undergone the installation of a contemporary bathroom with Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware, oak internal doors and other decorative changes, whilst being within a moment’ stroll of Windermere’s amenities, this is a superb holiday home for couples and families. Guests will be charmed by the tasteful decor, stylish interior and well-presented bedrooms. The lounge area is beautifully furnished with two stressless chairs, sofa and a fire with new wooden surround. There is a Smart TV/DVD and patio doors leading onto the sunny patio, (the sun does shine in the Lakes) perfect for alfresco dining, along with that pre-dinner drink or coffee! A stylish breakfast bar separates the William Ball kitchen from the dining area. The kitchen has everything you will need, dishwasher, washer-dryer, electric oven, Halogen hob and fridge freezer. A downstairs cloakroom is a handy addition providing adequate hanging space for your coats, and toilet/washbasin. Stairs lead you past the stunning Gothic window to two lovely good size bedrooms. Each bedroom has been lovingly coordinated with plenty of storage. The bedrooms include a king-size and a double, situated upstairs. A fitted light airy bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower and Villeroy Boch fitting provide your washing facilities.
