This 2-bedroom apartment is a duplex set across the first and second floors of the main residence on the Pullwood Bay Estate near Ambleside in the Lake District National Park. Sitting within 51 acres of private landscaped gardens and mature woodland, it has waterside views across Windermere and the surrounding fells that are genuinely hard to beat. The setting does the work.

There's a private jetty for launching a dinghy, canoe or kayak with prior arrangement. Wild deer and squirrels roam the woodland.

This apartment sleeps 4 across two bedrooms. The first floor has a spacious twin bedroom with en-suite shower. The second floor has a super-king bedroom with a large walk-in shower and double-ended bath in the adjacent bathroom. The open-plan kitchen has an oven, hob, dishwasher and washer-dryer.
