Tall Trees is an eclectic detached Lakeland residence that oozes luxury. The property occupies a sublime setting within woodland glade surrounded by 'tall trees' just a short walk from the shores of Lake Windermere near Storrs Park, the area is known locally as 'Millionaires Mile'.
This holiday property really has the wow factor! Step inside and see in the outstanding contemporary features echoed throughout. Located on a secluded countryside atmosphere blends seamlessly with contemporary living, where the infinity glazed design really does bring the outside in. Enjoy the smart luxury bathrooms, plush bedrooms, a modern open plan kitchen and dining area fit for a formal or relaxed gathering. The living space has a warming circular wood burner and there’s sophisticated technology throughout, ensuring you have everything you need and more besides.
Step outside via full length sliding doors onto a large terraced balcony or the large slate patio and enjoy the fresh air that greets you.
A great place to relax and enjoy al-fresco Lakeland life. There’s also direct access onto a number of National Trust footpaths. Whether you are celebrating a happy event or just spending time with your favourite people, Tall Trees is a magical treat delivering sheer luxury and matching your high expectations. Ghyll Head is a picturesque sleepy hamlet surrounded by some fabulous eateries including the very well known 'Masons Arms' at Strawberry Bank and bustling Bowness-on-Windermere a just a short distance away.
