About this property
Silver How is a luxurious, traditional Lakeland House with three bedrooms, sleeping up to five people. It is one of five exclusive properties originally built in a Victorian Hamlet and set in a peaceful location mid-way between Ambleside and Waterhead on Lake Windermere. It is furnished in a classic, modern style with carefully chosen colours and fabrics and affords an exceptional feeling of space and comfort. It is beautifully appointed, with appealing outlooks to adjoining fields from its sunny patio area.
You will find your named parking space at the end of the long private drive, make your way to the covered entrance porch. Hang your outdoor clothes in the entrance hall, then walk into your stunning L shaped sitting room with dining area. Relax on your beautiful suite and admire the style, warmth and unique personality of this gorgeous room. Discover your attractive dining room and modern, fully equipped kitchen then take a drink onto your south facing patio to sit and unwind as you look out to the lovely scenery set before you.
Walk to the Ambleside and browse the independent shops and enjoy one of its excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs or set off in the opposite direction to Waterhead to enjoy a cruise on beautiful Lake Windermere or hire your own boat to explore its secluded bays.
If you feel more adventurous set out on one of the many spectacular walks, available from your doorstep. Walk through lovely Rothay Park, go over the charming stone bridge then push up to Todd Crag where you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the length of Lake Windermere and the breath-taking countryside beyond.
Silver How is also ideally placed to tour the Lake District by car or by bus, so why not set off for the day to discover the area’s charming villages and hamlets, sparkling lakes and dramatic valleys.
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.
