Prestigious and private, Middle Entrance Drive is a most beautiful and sought-after tree-lined road, where neatly maintained verges and well-spaced homes entreat the eye, alongside spectacular views of Lake Windermere and the mountains on a clear day.

Unseen from the road and tucked away, Hideaway earns its title, hidden behind neatly cropped hedging, where there is a garage and ample parking.

Walk around to the original solid wood double door entrance, and enter into a light, bright open-plan kitchen, with high, vaulted ceilings interspersed with treacle toned beams. Stealing the scene are the stunning views out over Lake Windermere through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Wooden flooring extends throughout this capacious kitchen-living room. Turning to the right, discover the contemporary clean-line kitchen, featuring a large island, two cookers, an induction hob with pop up extractor fan and instant boiling hot water tap. An array of crisp white handleless drawers and units provides plentiful storage. There is also a built-in wine fridge and dishwasher.

Select the optimum lighting to match the mood, with LED lighting surrounding the island and spotlighting overhead.

Sneak a peek through, past a downstairs cloakroom to the extravagantly sized utility room. Formerly the original kitchen to the home, this substantial space houses an additional American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven, grill and microwave as well as plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier. Fully alarmed, a boot cupboard houses all the electronics for Hideaway, which is also served by Hive heating controls and excellent broadband. A rear door from this area leads down stairs into an area off the garden containing the wood store, sectioned off to provide free run for your four-legged friend.

A large dining table enjoys spectacular views out towards Lake Windermere, whilst in the summer months, the French doors draw you out to the glass balustrade balcony for alfresco mealtimes savouring these sumptuous Lakeland views. Curving around the corner of Hideaway, dine at the table; currently housing a barbecue and pizza oven this balcony is the perfect place for open air family feasts. Below, the lavishly sized garden extends to its treeline boundary, ensuring peace, privacy and protection from the elements.

Returning indoors, take the central staircase up to the next level, to discover the light-filled lounge. Here, the impactful double height ceiling amplifies the brightness and creates a sense of inside-out living: views over Lake Windermere are drawn into the room.

Snuggle up beneath the vaulted ceiling, toasty warm courtesy of the log-burning stove; the original chimney breast serves as a handy log store. South facing and sunny, soak up striking views over the distant fells from the comfort of your sofa.

Ascend the stairs once more to the mezzanine landing, in this ahead-of-its-time home, in constant connection with views of the outdoors. Sneak a peek through to the fourth bedroom, a cocooning double, whose sloped ceiling accommodates a Velux window framing treetop views out to the countryside. Tranquil and calm, refresh your senses in the ensuite with bath, WC and wash basin, where views are framed over Lake Windermere.

Returning to the ground floor, descend the stairs once more to snuggle up in the family room through an oak door to the left. A versatile area of the home brimming with light used both as a study, television room and an entertaining space, windows offer an array of views out to the tranquil surrounds.

Take the stairs down once more to find two further bedrooms on the left. Arriving at the first, soak up the enviable views out over Lake Windermere to the everchanging vistas of mountains through floor to ceiling windows.

Returning along the spotlit, cream carpeted hallway, to the other side of the staircase, discover the bathroom, tiled underfoot and containing a vanity unit wash basin, shower and WC. Note how spacious and minimal the bathrooms at Hideaway are.

Next door the master bedroom is a spacious haven, illuminated by a spotlight-sprinkled ceiling and featuring a large freestanding wardrobe.
