INCREDIBLE ACCOMMODATION, THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR A SPECIAL GATHERING OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Be welcomed into this exquisite property via the grand panelled hallway with its magnificent original staircase and make your way into the beautiful open-plan living space where you can look forward to relaxing and socialising with your loved ones. Be impressed by the array of quality appliances in the kitchen, with a two oven AGA range, electric double oven and five-ring induction hob, Quooker tap, two large fridge freezers and two dishwashers at your fingertips and an excellent array of cooking equipment, this is truly a “cooks kitchen”. The rustic kitchen island presents the perfect spot at which to perch with a glass of wine while the cooking smells fill the room. Retreat to the window seat to soak in the view over the garden towards Claife Heights and the lake, or relax by watching the TV from one of the armchairs, before all are called to gather at the long wooden table in the elegant dining area.

Warm yourself up in the cooler months by settling in the snug where a wood-burning stove can provide the heat as you get lost in a good book, or watch a movie. When you want to bring everyone together for an evening of fun, head down to the sitting room on the lower ground floor where several sofas await you along with a TV, a snooker/pool table and table football, offering the perfect environment for making happy memories.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room is a lovely room featuring pale blue hues on the walls and cupboards, home to a washing machine and tumble dryer, large butler sink with Quooker tap, and lots of space for drying any damp clothes after a day on the fells.

Enjoy spending time in the beautiful garden where two patio areas make excellent spots for alfresco dining, having a BBQ and soaking up the last of the evening sun.

End your day by heading up to one of the five comfortable and elegant bedrooms, each beautifully furnished and boasting plenty of storage for your belongings, as well as featuring lovely views to wake up to.

Find three bedrooms on the first floor, including a king-size and a double, both enjoying en-suite shower rooms, and a further king-size served by the stunning family bathroom where a large feature bath provides a sumptuous spot to unwind. The second floor affords both a king-size and twin room with views over the lake and fells, with both served by a fabulous shower room with a large shower cubicle.

IMPOSING GENTLEMAN’S RESIDENCE LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE LAKE DISTRICT

This incredible Victorian gentleman’s residence lies in the heart of the Lake District in the town of Windermere. Oakburn could not be more perfectly located to enjoy everything that the South Lakes has to offer, without even having to get in your car. Boasting character and luxury throughout, offering ten guests an unforgettable dwelling to enjoy whilst exploring the delights of Cumbria’s National Park. Oakburn offers superb features including beautiful bedrooms, exceptional social spaces, a traditional wood-burning stove, large bay windows and lofty, high ceilings.

Arguably the most popular area in the whole of the Lake District, Windermere is truly the centre of the action. The town centre is just an easy 10 minute walk away from Oakburn. You can stroll the quaint streets lined with local shops, indulge in trips to one of the lovely cafés and find pubs and restaurants to suit every taste. There are several award-winning and Michelin starred restaurants close by.

A pretty 15 minute walk will take you to the lakeshore where you can sip wine and watch the sunset over the Langdales. Getting out on the lake is one of the best ways to enjoy this glorious area; try out a new watersport like paddle-boarding or sailing, Windermere Outdoor Adventure Centre is a 20 minute walk away and Bowness waterfront just a 15 minute stroll – cruising Lake Windermere is a leisurely and scenic way to get around too.

Plenty of beautiful walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep of Oakburn, local peaks include Orrest Head, School Knott and Brant Fell so pull on your boots and you can be up onto the fells within 10 minutes.

The house is beautiful, comfortable, extremely spacious and warm. Plenty of room for three generations of our family. Well equipped, with many amenities and a fabulous games room, this house caters, perfectly, for all ages. Situated in Windermere, it is a good base from which to explore all areas of the Lake District. There is a comprehensive folder, full of suggestions for walks, activities, restaurants etc, (which was very helpful), as well as a wonderful Welcome Pack! We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this stunning house!

From Granny and Grandad, Mummies and Daddy through to three boisterous Grandsons. This house catered for us all with room to spare. The basement games and cinema seats were a favourite with the boys. Fabulous throughout. Fabulous location. We'd love to come back. Many thanks, The Davies family and The Greatholder family

The Williamson family gathered from UK, France and the USA to celebrate my 80th birthday. We couldn't have chosen a better house to accommodate our every need- so well modernised, tasteful everywhere. We loved the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the spacious kitchen, dining area, the snug, the lounge in the garden room not forgetting the pool and soccer tables, and not least the reading room!! We even had pretty good weather and managed a hog roast at the top of the garden. All in all, a wonderful place, thank you. Chris Williamson, on behalf of the clan.

Your hospitality has exceeded our expectations. Every inch of your beautiful home has been planed meticulously from the wonderful welcome basket to the restored architectural details. We've stayed in numerous rural homes all over and this has been by far the best. Thank you!

What a wonderful place to spend a family week celebrating a special Birthday. We all loved the house which we found very comfortable for a large group. Fantastic facilities in the kitchen and the games room downstairs was fantastic for the younger ones. Enjoyed discovering The Lakes, even if it wasn't always dry!

What a memorable stay at such a wonderful house. The perfect place for a family reunion. It was a long journey home from Hong Kong but well worth it to surprise our Mum for her 70th birthday. The house is all we could have wanted and more, we all just want to move here! So beautiful to see such love has gone into this property and that so many memories have been made here. We look forward to coming back. With love and fond memories!

We had such an incredible time here. It was an international gathering with family coming in from the US to spend time together and with our new-born (on her first holiday!). We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much.
Aarons Family
On Monday, 06 Jun 2022
What an amazing house - we have had a fantastic week here, and for the first time on holiday we chose to stay in rather than going out on many evenings, because we loved being in the beautiful kitchen so much! The location is so perfect for exploring the area and we found all of the information in the folder very useful. We absolutely loved the gin too - thank you!

A lovely week - boat trips, walks and beautiful places to visit and a warm welcoming house to come home to. What a treat! Even the rain couldn't spoil our stay. We all went home feeling refreshed and more 'normal' after a strange year. Thank you! Chris, Elaine, Tom, Carole and Steve xx

We absolutely loved our stay at Oakburn. The location was brilliant and the house was above and beyond expectations. It was very comfortable and felt like home. I cooked with herbs from the herb garden outside and all enjoyed cooking toast using the AGA stove very much. The snug was a highlight room as it had a fireplace and was so cute and cosy. We woke up the morning with a beautiful view of the lake and we walked to School Knott and Orrest Head from the doorstep. We loved it and will hopefully be back again.
