Description The absolute epitome of a tranquil bolt-hole. They really don’t get much better than this. The sort of property you pop the key in the lock, open the door, breath in and instantly relax and smile knowing you get to spend time here with absolutely nothing to do – heaven in the modern day busy world. This charming ‘upside down’ Cottage is immaculately and tastefully presented throughout with luxurious touches such as the super surround sound system and the high quality modern Kitchen and Shower Room fittings. Low maintenance outdoor space and wonderful views over the valley from the Patio and Communal Grounds which is all surrounded by nature with some wonderful walks close-by. The highly regarded country pubs/restaurants (The Hare and Hounds and The Masons Arms) are on the door step to complete the picture – we really cannot recommend The Chase highly enough.

Converted by the excellent, renowned builder, Robert Hughes in 2005 into 8 individual designed properties. This superb ‘bijou’ property still retains that new feeling! Having been owned by the current vendors from new they have reluctantly decided the time is now right for them to sell. Suitable for many different buyers – down sizers, young couples, first time buyers, weekend bolt-hole seekers or perhaps an excellent holiday let investment – it would certainly appeal to holiday makers ticking the boxes for peaceful location, walks close-by, south lakes attractions a short drive away, views and pub – to name just a few!

The entrance door opens into the spacious and welcoming Hallway. Useful shoe cupboard with matching meter cupboard over, under stairs storage cupboard and ample space for storage of bicycles perhaps. The generously proportioned Bedroom has a side aspect, double recessed built in wardrobes, very useful Utility closet with plumbing for washing machine, wall mounted LPG central heating boiler, coved ceiling and recessed ceiling spot lights. Door to the luxurious and contemporary En-suite Wet Room with attractive tiled walls, excellent, double, walk in shower, WC and wall mounted wash hand basin.

The very attractive, Beech staircase leads up to the Open Plan Living/Dining/Kitchen. What a lovely space. Sunny, airy and spacious, this lovely room enjoys some rural views and a ‘Velux’ roof window and there is ample space for both living and dining furniture. The Kitchen is tastefully furnished with cream shaker style wall and base cabinets with striking mosaic wall tiles. Stainless steel sink unit, integrated fridge and freezer and inbuilt ‘NEFF’ appliances including dishwasher, oven and gas hob.

Outside is a low maintenance, sunny, paved patio. A wonderful space to enjoy the breath-taking views and just soak up the surroundings. There is 1 designated Parking space and further Visitor Parking where the Communal Gardens can be found for all to enjoy.

Location Just a few miles to the east of Lake Windermere lies the secluded and unspoilt Winster Valley, a tranquil area of rolling hills, verdant fields and wooded slopes, perfect for escaping the pressure of modern life. A network of country lanes and paths wind their way through the valley, making this an ideal location for gentle walking, particularly if you stop off at one of the excellent traditional pubs en route! (Both The Masons Arms and The Hare and Hounds in Bowland Bridge are only a short stroll away!) In fact, there are several Pubs/Restaurants in the area. There are 2 wonderful 15th Century Churches within walking distance and the towns of Kendal and Windermere are all within a short, scenic, drive. Although The Chase enjoys a magnificent, picturesque and peaceful location the M6 Motorway is within easy reach – approximately a 25-30 minute drive.

To reach the property from Junction 36 of the M6, turn left in the direction of Barrow in Furness at Brettargh Holt. Follow the road and take the third right signposted Crosthwaite/Bowness on Windermere. Follow the road for approximately 5 miles and bear left towards Bowland Bridge. As you enter the village The Chase can be found on the left hand side, the development has private parking and is the first group of buildings just behind the Hare and Hounds public house and access is through their car park. No.7 The Chase is located to the right of the parking bays.
