The Shades – A Stylish 3-Bedroom Scandi-Inspired Retreat in the Heart of Windermere
The Shades offers a rare blend of privacy, security, and understated elegance. With no through traffic, a peaceful corner plot, and a welcoming sense of neighbourly charm, the setting feels both secluded and privileged—a true hidden gem just moments from the centre of Windermere.
Framed by mature trees and thoughtfully landscaped wraparound gardens, this link-detached home has been beautifully refurbished to offer warmth, personality, and a true sense of retreat. Whether you're seeking serenity, style, or an exceptional location, The Shades delivers it all—effortlessly combining tranquillity with the convenience of a short stroll into town.
Entrance
A Warm Welcome Home
Arrive via the private driveway or pull into the garage, offering both convenience and security. From here, a short flight of steps leads up to the front door, subtly illuminated by a wired overhead light with motion sensor—providing both safety and a welcoming glow after dark.
Cloak Room
Practical & Discreet
Step inside, and directly ahead you'll find a practical cloakroom, ideal for storing coats, shoes, and everyday essentials. Neatly housed within is the newly installed electric meter, tucked away to maintain the clean and uncluttered feel of the space.
From here, you can move seamlessly into the open-plan lounge and kitchen or step through to the versatile sun room / bedroom 3, offering immediate access to the heart of the home or a peaceful, flexible retreat.
Living / Dining Room/Kitchen
Open-Plan Living, Dining & Kitchen – Designed for Modern Living
At the heart of The Shades lies a beautifully open and light-filled living space, where pale waxed floorboards and dry plaster pink and earthy white walls create a serene and contemporary atmosphere. A designer Umage Clava oak wall light, complete with dimmer, casts a warm, ambient glow—perfectly complementing the cosy electric stove in the lounge area.
The patio door opens directly onto the south/west-facing garden, encouraging effortless indoor-outdoor living—ideal for summer dining, morning coffee, or a glass of wine at sunset.
The adjoining kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring bespoke open shelving, a Smeg fridge/freezer, gas hob and oven, and a sleek Miele extractor fan. The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table, beautifully illuminated by a pair of Foscarini Tutu designer wall lights—setting the tone for everything from intimate dinners to lively gatherings.
A wired Google Nest smoke alarm adds a touch of smart home practicality to this thoughtfully designed space.
Sun Room/Bedroom 3
Light, Space & Possibility
Bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows and a patio door, this beautifully bright room enjoys peaceful views over the garden and offers exceptional flexibility. Currently arranged as a cosy second lounge or reading nook, it can just as easily function as a third bedroom, home office, or creative studio—adapting effortlessly to your lifestyle.
With direct garden access and a serene outlook, it’s a true highlight of the home. Finishing touches such as Dowsing & Reynolds ‘Whipped Cream’ switches and sockets lend understated elegance to this versatile and inviting space.
Bedroom One
Leafy Outlooks & Refined Finishes
This generously proportioned double bedroom is bathed in natural light, thanks to its dual-aspect windows that frame tranquil, leafy views of the mature rear garden and surrounding trees. The result is a bright yet calming space, perfectly in tune with its serene setting.
A full wall of built-in wardrobes provides ample storage, finished with elegant Corston Architectural bronze hardware—a detail echoed in the door handle and wall hooks for a cohesive, design-led feel. Newly fitted wool Berber carpets add luxurious warmth and texture underfoot, enhancing the comfort of this restful retreat. Finishing touches such as Dowsing & Reynolds ‘Whipped Cream’ switches and sockets complete the elevated aesthetic, while a wired smoke alarm offers peace of mind. A beautifully styled room with a close connection to nature.
Bedroom 2
Peaceful, Practical & Elegantly Finished
This well-proportioned double bedroom enjoys a calm outlook over the rear garden, making it an inviting retreat for guests, family members, or a quiet home office. A built-in storage cupboard offers practical space for clothes and essentials, while the detailing elevates the room's overall feel.
Newly fitted wool Berber carpets bring warmth, texture, and comfort underfoot, enhancing the serene atmosphere. Corston Architectural bronze hardware adds a refined touch to both the cupboard and door handle, echoed in the home’s thoughtful design throughout. Additional features include Dowsing & Reynolds ‘Whipped Cream’ switches and sockets and a wired smoke alarm for added peace of mind.
Bathroom
Timeless Character with a Contemporary Twist
Blending classic charm with modern comfort, the bathroom features waxed original wooden flooring, a traditional ceramic suite, and a luxurious Hansgrohe Raindance 24cm power shower—ideal for both a relaxing soak and an energising start to the day. A large double-glazed window with privacy glass allows natural light to pour in while maintaining complete seclusion—not that it’s needed, as the home is entirely unoverlooked.
Outside
Glorious Private Gardens – A Woodland Sanctuary to Call Your Own
Occupying a desirable corner plot, the mature, wraparound gardens offer a true sense of seclusion and tranquillity. Enclosed by leafy borders, with flowering shrubs and dappled light filtering through established trees, the outdoor space feels more like a private woodland retreat than a typical garden.
Directly accessed from the lounge door, a sun-soaked decking area creates the perfect spot for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or evening drinks—seamlessly extending the living space into nature. Beyond the deck, lawn areas invite everything from relaxed entertaining to family play, while the garden’s thoughtful planting ensures year-round colour and interest.
Garage & Undercrofts – Versatile Space with Exciting Potential
The generously sized garage offers much more than secure parking. Currently enjoyed as a games room with a table tennis table, it presents a highly flexible space with endless potential. Whether you envision a hobby room, home gym, or even an additional bedroom or self-contained annexe, this area can easily be adapted to suit changing needs.
A utility sink adds practicality, while two spacious undercroft storage rooms are perfect for outdoor gear, bikes, or seasonal storage. There’s also excellent scope to enhance the connection to the outdoors—by adding patio doors, this space could open directly onto the side garden, creating a wonderful sun-soaked patio area and transforming the garage into a light-filled living or sleeping space. Whether you're thinking creatively or long-term, this is a space full of opportunity.
The private driveway offers generous off-road parking for multiple vehicles, making everyday comings and goings—whether hosting guests or returning home—effortless. Flanked by mature shrubs, flowering plants, and soft landscaping, the approach is both practical and picturesque, setting a warm and inviting tone before you even reach the front door.
Footpath
A Hidden Gem at Your Doorstep
Just moments from The Shades, this delightful footpath feels like a well-kept secret—offering a peaceful, scenic route into the heart of Windermere. In just 6 minutes, you can be in town; 7 minutes takes you to the train station; and a relaxed 15–20 minute walk brings you to the shores of Lake Windermere. It's a charming bonus that enhances the everyday experience of living here.
Summary
The Shades is not just a house—it’s a thoughtfully curated home, where style meets comfort and nature meets town convenience. Whether you're looking for a peaceful main residence, a weekend retreat, or a chic investment in the heart of the Lakes, this rare opportunity deserves your attention.
