About this property
Fairfield is a luxurious two-bedroom duplex apartment, located on the first floor of Pullwood House, an esteemed, late Victorian property, built on the north-west shore of Lake Windermere. The house lies within the exclusive Pullwood Bay Estate, consisting of 50 acres of mature woodland, impressive landscaped gardens, half a mile of lakeshore, a private jetty and a shingle beach from which guests can launch boats and kayaks. The apartment has wonderful views across the lake and its sumptuous accommodation, de-luxe facilities, inviting landscaped grounds and lake shore access make this a perfect family holiday apartment. It is approximately three miles from the traditional Lakeland towns of Ambleside and Hawkshead.
As you enter the sweeping driveway look out for the wildlife and catch glimpses of the peaceful lake inlet before finding the magnificent Elizabethan styled house laid out before you.
Walk up to your first-floor apartment and step into your large and attractive, open plan sitting room with kitchen and dining area. Relax on your comfortable sofa and take in this bright and beautifully presented room with stylish furnishings and light colour design. Look over to your elegant Poggenpohl kitchen area, admire your full range of integrated appliances and visualize your next gourmet meal to be shared with family or friends in this lovely dining space. Cross the hallway to discover a delightful bedroom with super king or zip link bed and en-suite shower, look through the pretty, feature window to pleasant garden views below. Climb the stairs to find another beautifully appointed bedroom which is a super king with attractive views to the wooded gardens. You will also find a lovely bathroom with double ended bath and walk in shower at this level. Both bedrooms have TVs.
Explore the beautiful grounds before heading to the lakeshore to launch your kayak, don’t forget to look out for the otters as you pass the charming boathouse. You will have a choice of many wonderful trails from your doorstep, whether it’s a low-level circular route or an adventurous hike up to the high fells. If you fancy an evening meal out without driving the car, why not visit the renowned Drunken Duck Inn which is just over a mile away.
At the end of your exciting day sit on the terrace and start to plan your next adventure in this beautiful part of the world.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
