Location Beck Allans is located in a delightful position in the centre of Grasmere Village and yet is tucked away from the main thoroughfares. From our office in Ambleside head north on the A591 to Grasmere passing Rydal Water and Grasmere Lake along the way. Upon reaching the roundabout take the first exit into the village. On entering the village follow the main road, passing the church and famous ‘Grasmere Gingerbread’ shop on the right hand side, and the entrance to Beck Allans is the next turning on the right after The Wordsworth Hotel. Once you have entered the drive, the allocated parking space can be found on your left the driveway.

Description Beck Allans is an attractive traditional stone and slate property located virtually in the centre of Grasmere, although even the most frequent visitor to this delightful Lakeland village would be excused for having missed it. Quietly tucked away, this distinctive property was originally built in the 1850’s by a wealthy Manchester businessman who no doubt appreciated the beauty of the surrounding scenery, which is every bit as stunning now as it was then.This attractive building went on to become a Catholic college and then a convalescent home for soldiers in the First World War. In the 1970’s the building was thoughtfully subdivided to create the wonderful apartments found here today.

As you enter the entrance porch you head up the communal hall to the second floor and on your right you are greeted by this beautiful apartment. Upon entering there is a dining area perfect to enjoy meals with family and friends which leads into the bright and attractive open plan living space which incorporates plenty of room in which to prepare meals in the fitted kitchen area. With ample wall and base units, Bosch 4 ring electric hob, oven and microwave with a built in fridge freezer and a integrated washing machine/dryer with the velux window allowing natural light. Whilst also offering space to relax and unwind in the living room after a long day of walking the fells in front of the electric fire creating a cosy atmosphere meanwhile enjoying some lovely views.

Both double bedrooms enjoy fabulous fell views one benefitting from a storage cupboard and the other having an ensuite shower room comprising of a power shower, wc and a pedestal wash basin with a heated towel rail. There is also a separate shower room comprising of a power shower, pedestal wash basin and wc with a heated towel rail.

This peaceful apartment is perfect as a weekend retreat, a holiday let, or a home in the heart of Grasmere. The apartment is easily managed in this superb setting and the added benefit of off road parking for one vehicle.
