Wink to the Past: Staveley
addremove
Stay awhile at this stunning Grade II Listed 18th Century residence, located on the main road between the Lake District National Park's villages of Staveley and Ings – and just a five-minute drive from Lake Windemere. Before you've even set foot through the majestic fifteen-panelled entrance door, you know this isn't your average holiday home. Eyes immediately draw to the stunning sweeping oak staircase, with two panoramic windows revealing a wooded garden that beckons for you to relax in. Inside, this exquisite home comes with all the period trimmings – original feature alcoves, parquet wooden flooring, sash windows, panelled walls, and antique furnishings galore. Upstairs, discover two immaculately presented bedrooms where five-star hotel standard king-size beds await, while a double-ended slipper bath brings a touch of decadence to the bathrooms. Back downstairs, the well-equipped kitchen with stylish black AGA and Belfast sink makes preparing mealtimes a joy, and with two large reception rooms, there's space for you to all spill out here. When it's time to spread your wings, Staveley is a leisurely ten-minute stroll away, where you'll find a traditional pub, quirky cafes, a bakery, gelato bar, a microbrewery, bike hire, and so the list goes on. And of course, there's Lake Windermere – how could we forget.
Home truths:
*Your hosts live in the smaller annexe next door – they’ll welcome you, then leave you to enjoy your holiday *There's off-road parking for four cars on the driveway *There is wi-fi here, but due to the rural location, it’s not the fastest *The 599 open-top bus is just a 10-minute walk down the road in Ings – it goes to Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Grasmere *There’s no freezer in the kitchen, but your host Gillian always has ice at the ready for a cheeky G&T *The hosts feel this home is unsuitable for children due to the gas AGA and the large staircase that has no gates, though you can contact them if this isn't a concern *There's a welcome gift including milk, butter, and artisan bread *You can hear noise from the road outside
