Positioned along Lickbarrow Close, it offers an exceptional balance of privacy, convenience, and connection to the surrounding landscape.

The sense of arrival is understated at first, with private driveway parking and a calm, tucked-away setting, but it is only when you step through to the rear that the true impact of the property reveals itself. Here, the views open dramatically across the fells and towards Lake Windermere, creating a breathtaking backdrop that immediately becomes the home's defining feature.

The elevated outlook brings an ever-changing panorama of light, weather, and landscape throughout the seasons, giving the house a remarkable sense of openness and tranquillity. Whether enjoying quiet mornings, relaxed evenings, or entertaining guests, the connection to the surrounding scenery is what makes Lowenva so special.

The interior unfolds with an easy, natural flow, with spaces connecting intuitively to create a balance between sociable living areas and quieter corners to retreat to. The kitchen is both practical and welcoming for day-to-day living, while also presenting exciting future potential. Subject to the necessary planning and building consents, there could be scope to reimagine the adjoining garage and snug areas to create a more open-plan kitchen, dining and living space designed to make even more of the spectacular outlook.

Moving into the main living space, your attention is immediately drawn to the large picture window and sliding doors framing breathtaking views across Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells. This is undoubtedly the heart of the home, a place where family and friends naturally gather to relax, entertain, and enjoy the ever-changing landscape throughout the seasons.

Subtle changes in level add character and definition without interrupting the sense of flow. The welcoming study/snug creates a cosy retreat during the cooler months, with a warm and grounded atmosphere that makes it ideal for unwinding at the end of the day. Doors open directly onto the patio terrace, strengthening the connection to the outdoors and providing the perfect setting to sit and take in the magnificent views. This space too could offer further flexibility for future reconfiguration, depending on a buyer's vision and requirements.

Throughout the home, the connection between inside and out remains a defining feature. Each room has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the surrounding scenery, reinforcing the property's unique setting and sense of tranquillity, while integrated storage ensures the home remains practical, functional, and uncluttered.

The bedrooms continue the home's sense of calm and balance, each offering well-proportioned accommodation and a peaceful atmosphere that reflects the homes overall character. All three bedrooms enjoy views towards the lake and surrounding fells, while the main two bedrooms benefit from particularly impressive panoramic outlooks across the water and the landscape beyond.

The main bedroom is especially well-positioned to make the most of the scenery, creating a tranquil space to wake up to each day. A built-in basin and recessed dressing table add both character and practicality, while all three bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, ensuring excellent integrated storage and an uncluttered feel throughout.

The family bathroom has already been tastefully modernised, providing a stylish and functional space that complements the home comfortably.

Outside, Lowenva reveals another layer of its character. The grounds extend to around an acre, creating a sense of space that is both rare and valuable in this location. The gardens include lovely, planted areas alongside sections of natural woodland, creating a peaceful and established setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.

The patio terrace provides an inviting outdoor space for dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the warmer months while taking in the exceptional views. Beyond this, the wider grounds offer scope for gardening, relaxing and informal recreation.

Practical features have been thoughtfully incorporated throughout, including a garage and additional utility space that support everyday living with ease. A separate outhouse provides excellent extra storage, ideal for garden equipment, outdoor gear, or watersports accessories.
The home forms part of a larger historic setting, originally divided into a small collection of residences in the 1960s. This brings with it a sense of heritage, while still allowing each home to maintain its own identity.

Outside the house, the quiet cul-de-sac provides access to several footpaths leading onto open fields and the surrounding smaller fells, including routes connected to the Dales Way.

Windermere remains one of the Lake District's most sought-after locations, and with good reason. From Lowenva, the village centre is within easy reach, offering a range of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Everyday essentials are close at hand, yet the surrounding landscape ensures that the wider appeal of the area is never far away.
Lake Windermere itself provides endless opportunities for recreation, from sailing and paddleboarding to more leisurely lakeside walks. The nearby fells offer routes for all abilities, while the broader Lake District National Park continues to draw those seeking both adventure and tranquillity.

Transport links are well established. Windermere railway station connects directly to Oxenholme and the West Coast Main Line, making travel to Manchester and London straightforward. For those balancing work and lifestyle, this connectivity adds a valuable dimension.

Lowenva is a home that offers more than its individual features. It is the combination of setting, space, flexibility and breathtaking views that defines its appeal. The layout supports modern living, while the grounds and location create a sense of permanence and ease.

There is an understated confidence to the house. It does not rely on statement gestures, instead offering a collection of well-considered spaces that work together naturally. For a couple or family looking to establish themselves in Windermere, it presents an opportunity to enjoy the area in a way that feels both grounded and refined.

It is, ultimately, a home that invites you to settle in and make it your own.
