Once part of the former Windermere School for Girls, the building carries a quiet sense of history, now thoughtfully reimagined into a collection of unique homes.
Set within the Lake District National Park, the apartment enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views across Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells. There is a calmness here that is difficult to replicate, where the landscape feels close, yet life in Bowness and Windermere is only a short drive away. It is a setting that balances privacy with convenience, ideal for those who want both space and connection.
Inside, you first walk into a spacious and stylish, newly refurbished, communal hallway which sets the tone for what's to come. When you enter No.7, the apartment immediately impresses with its sense of volume and individuality. Generous proportions run throughout, enhanced by large windows that draw in natural light and frame the outlook beyond. The interiors have been styled with confidence, combining bold colour with carefully chosen materials to create something truly distinctive.
The kitchen forms a striking focal point. Clean lines and fitted cabinetry sit alongside a Smeg range cooker and integrated appliances, while a wide picture window captures the view and fills the space with light. There is an easy flow here, whether cooking for friends or enjoying a quieter morning coffee.
A separate living area continues the theme of thoughtful design. Solid oak flooring runs underfoot, complemented by cast iron radiators and a statement electric stove that brings warmth and character. A balcony extends the space outward, offering a place to pause and take in the changing light over the lake. A dedicated reading corner adds another layer, creating a more intimate setting within the wider room.
The layout offers a flexibility that suits a range of lifestyles. In addition to the main living space, there is a further reception area currently used as a relaxed chill room. Bright and inviting, it provides an alternative place to unwind or entertain, adding depth to the overall accommodation.
A cleverly integrated office space is built into the hallway, designed for modern working without compromising on style. Built-in storage and thoughtful detailing ensure that practicality is always present, yet never dominant.
A separate utility room adds everyday convenience, housing laundry facilities and supporting the smooth running of the home. It is a small detail, but one that makes a noticeable difference to daily life.
There are three bedrooms, each with its own character and sense of space. The first bedroom is bright and well-proportioned, with built-in storage and panelled walls that add texture and warmth. A bathroom sits close by, finished with a generous walk-in shower and offering a near en-suite feel. The second is currently being used as another relaxed lounge area, but could equally be a spacious second bedroom with beautiful views.
The principal bedroom is particularly memorable. Spacious and filled with light, it enjoys elevated views that stretch across the lake and surrounding landscape. A freestanding copper bath sits within the room itself, creating a feature that feels both indulgent and quietly luxurious. An en-suite shower room completes the space, providing both comfort and privacy.
Throughout the apartment, design choices feel considered and stylish. Colour, texture and layout work together to create a home that is as functional as it is expressive.
Outside, the setting continues to impress. The apartment sits within extensive communal grounds, beautifully maintained and rich with planting. Mature trees, flowering borders and a gentle stream create a natural backdrop, while a small waterfall adds a sense of movement and calm.
Parking is well catered for, with a private garage complete with electric door and power supply, alongside additional parking spaces and visitor provision. The overall feel is one of ease, where everything has been considered to support both residents and guests.
The building itself is managed with care, ensuring that external maintenance and communal areas are all professionally handled. It allows for a lifestyle that is both low maintenance and quietly refined.
Chapel Ridding sits in a position that captures the very best of the Lake District. Walks begin almost from the doorstep, with routes through Troutbeck and into the surrounding fells offering something for every pace and preference. Lake Windermere lies within easy reach, bringing with it a choice of waterside restaurants, boat trips and scenic viewpoints.
Everyday amenities are close at hand. Windermere and Bowness are just a short drive away, providing a selection of shops, cafés and services. A local pub sits within minutes, while more established favourites can be reached on foot or by a gentle drive. The train station is also conveniently nearby, offering connections further afield when needed.
Despite this accessibility, the apartment retains a sense of separation. It feels tucked away, surrounded by greenery and open views, yet never remote.
No.7 Chapel Ridding is a home that leaves a lasting impression. Its origins, its scale and its style come together to create something that feels both distinctive and considered. There is a quiet confidence here, shaped by its setting and refined by the way it has been styled.
For those seeking a Lake District base that offers space, character and a strong sense of place, this apartment presents a rare opportunity. It is a home designed not only to be lived in, but to be experienced.
