Description
Arriving at Belvedere you are met by bespoke electric gates opening into the gravelled driveway with carport and the grand ultra modern front elevation of the property facing you, a mixture of immense porcelain tiles, floor to ceiling windows and wood paneling plus the hidden garage door and glass balustrade balcony belonging to the master suite. The first impression only gives a little taste of what is inside...
On entering the property it's easy to see how much this project has meant to the owners, they have clearly loved creating this master piece and the result is sublime. Entering into the entrance hall you are instantly greeted by the handcrafted/handmade Heelix staircase with bronze railings and solid Beech steps, this centre piece sets the tone for the property and the modern beauty continues throughout the house. Off the entrance hall is a large boot room with glazed door plus a shower room and an office room that could equally be used as extra accommodation, an extra living room or indeed a cinema room.
Through to the heart of the house, the living area with its vast space and floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors and wood burning stove, this room is simply fantastic, an entertainers heaven! The fitted kitchen is beautifully modern, practical and even offers a touch of history with the kitchen island being enveloped in some of the bronze from the Churchill war rooms in London and offers all of the modern integrated appliances one would expect; induction hob, oven, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave and extractor hood. Following through behind the kitchen is a second kitchen with granite worktops, inset sink, wall and base units, slimline dishwasher and wine fridge. A useful utility room with hot water cylinder and boiler, access to the garage and sitting room which again could be become extra accommodation or perhaps a home gym.
The fabulous bespoke staircase from the entrance hall takes you to the large gallery landing and on into 3 stunning bedrooms all of which not only have en-suites but the added bonus of walk in wardrobes plus the master suite with a fabulous private balcony having slate tiles and glass balustrade plus a beautiful bespoke fitted dressing room and 4 piece en-suite bathroom. All the en-suites having been individually designed and decorated and all having Lusso stone suites and the finest fittings.
To the rear of the property, at the end of the garden, is a whimsical cabin - A picture perfect wood cabin with a living area, bedroom with dressing area and shower room plus a small decking area to the front. This could perhaps be used as guest accommodation or an annex for a teenager/relative.
To the outside of the property is a very well screened and private, beautifully landscaped garden plus patio seating area amounting to approximately 0.49 acres, an ideal summer entertaining area and perfect for those Al Fresco dining moments. There is also a hot tub, timber shed and wood store and the aforementioned cabin. To the front of the property is a large gravelled parking area and carport for 2 vehicles and large integral garage.
Location: Belvedere is located towards the end of a Cornbirthwaite Road, a private road approximately 0.25 miles from Windermere village. The perfect location, set back from the main village thoroughfare but within a few minutes walk of all the amenities.
From Windermere Village head towards Bowness and taking the right hand turning after Lakeland Gardens sign posted 'Cornbirthwaite Road'. Continue along the private road and Belvedere can be found a short way on your left.
