About this property

Wreay Lodge - Spactious House with Garden and Lake Views

Escape to the majestic shores of Ullswater at Wreay Lodge, a spectacular holiday home nestled in the exclusive Watermillock area. This is a property defined by its breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the lake to the fells beyond. Offering a blend of traditional stone-built character and contemporary comfort, the lodge provides a tranquil and luxurious haven for families or groups seeking the ultimate Lake District retreat.

The heart of the home is the stunning living space, where large windows frame the spectacular panorama like a living painting. Settle into the comfy sofas by the crackling wood-burning fire and simply watch the light change over the water. Adjacent, the elegant dining room, with its original wood flooring and dual-aspect windows, provides another stunning viewpoint.

The spacious, modern kitchen is well-equipped for everything from a simple breakfast to a celebratory feast, with wooden worktops, a double oven, and ample storage. When it's time to retire, choose from the three beautifully presented bedrooms on the ground floor, two of which feature flexible zip-and-link beds, all sharing easy access to two pristine bathrooms; one with a walk-in shower and the other with a bath.

For a touch of true indulgence, a staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, revealing an enormous master bedroom sanctuary. This splendid room features its own dressing area, direct access to the garden via two patio doors, and views of the lake. The magnificent en-suite bathroom is a showstopper, complete with a large walk-in shower and a stunning freestanding egg-shaped bath, perfect for a luxurious soak after a day on the fells.

Outside, the established garden provides a private slice of paradise. Stone steps lead down to a lawn and a paved patio area. This is the perfect spot for a morning coffee while planning your adventures or an evening glass of wine, drinking in the splendid, peaceful views of Ullswater.
