Luxury Ground Floor Apartment with Private Patio & Garage in Prestigious Lake District Estate
Situated within the exclusive Hampsfield House Estate, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom ground floor apartment offers elegant living in a peaceful and private setting. Originally built in 1880 for Sir John Hibbert MP, the estate was tastefully redeveloped in 2003 by highly regarded developer Robert Hughes to form just eight luxury apartments. Set within landscaped gardens and private woodland, the property enjoys a truly idyllic location within the Lake District National Park.
Set at the end of a sweeping, tree-lined driveway, the apartment enjoys tranquil views over the estate’s immaculate communal gardens. Inside, the home has been finished to an exceptional standard, featuring underfloor heating, engineered oak flooring, and a stunning open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. The high-spec kitchen boasts premium integrated appliances, Dekton worktops, a central island with a wine cooler, and a state-of-the-art Quooker tap delivering boiling, filtered, chilled, and sparkling water.
The spacious main lounge benefits from large windows and a stone-built fireplace, filling the room with natural light. There are three generous bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite complete with fitted furniture and a stylish en-suite shower room. A well-appointed family bathroom and utility area complete the interior layout.
Externally, the property features its own private patio overlooking the beautifully maintained communal gardens. Residents enjoy allocated parking near the entrance, a stone-built garage for additional parking and storage, and secure access via electric gates. Importantly, the estate provides direct access onto the fells and nearby footpaths, offering a wealth of stunning walks right from your doorstep.
With easy access to Windermere, the Southern Lakes, and just 15 minutes from the M6 (J36), this is a rare opportunity to acquire a low-maintenance home combining luxury living with breathtaking natural surroundings.
