5 Bed in Staveley (oc-lr107)

Staying at this unique 1907 property in the heart of the Lake District National Park offers friends and family a wonderful mix of historic charm and outdoor adventure. Located 3 miles from Windermere, the house is perfectly placed for exploring both bustling lakeside towns and peaceful fell walks. A short stroll brings you into the village of Staveley, where you can start the day with coffee and pastries from the award-winning bakery. Cyclists will be in their element at Wheelbase, the largest cycle shop in the UK – ideal if you're hiring bikes or picking up last-minute gear. For walkers, the options from the doorstep are superb. Head up Reston Scar for far-reaching views over the South Lakes, or take on the more challenging Kentmere Horseshoe, a classic ridge walk for experienced hikers.

Carefully restored to celebrate its Edwardian heritage, this remarkable home beautifully bridges past and present. Many original details have been lovingly preserved, creating a distinctive residence rich in history and character. The ground floor hosts three elegant reception rooms along with a generous breakfast kitchen. Here, a double-sided wood burner forms a striking focal point, while patio doors open out to the garden beyond. Throughout the restoration, thoughtful attention was given to retaining period craftsmanship. The dining room echoes the grandeur of a traditional country estate, complete with bespoke furniture dating back to 1907. Upstairs, five individually styled bedrooms reflect the home's Edwardian roots, each finished with period-appropriate touches. The bathrooms continue the sense of occasion, with ornate detailing and statement fittings that create a truly indulgent setting for a long soak after a day outdoors.

Set within almost 12 acres of wooded grounds blending formal gardens with natural landscapes, the estate includes a natural pond, meandering streams and small waterfalls. Two large patios and various seating areas provide spots for outdoor dining and gatherings. A furnished summer house and several outbuildings – including a garage, three large stores and the now-derelict "Powerhouse," once used to generate electricity for the property – add further interest. Private parking for up to six cars allows guests to arrive and depart with ease.
