Description Wood Close was originally built as a very impressive Victorian gentleman's residence stylishly constructed in local stone and slate and enjoying commanding views looking west over the valley and Grasmere lake to the fells beyond. This attractive building has lost none of it original appeal and enjoys a location that is arguably second to none. The beautiful grounds, which are thought to extend to something in the region of three acres (not measured) are a delightful all year round feature and give immediate access to footpaths which, depending on your intentions, can lead you down to the pretty village of Grasmere where a variety of traditional Lakeland inns, cafes, restaurants and shops await or up to Alcock Tarn and the surrounding fells.
As you enter the property there is the entrance hall with hooks perfect for hanging your coats and kicking off your boots after a long day on the fells. This opens into a kitchen with ample storage space and integrated appliances consisting of; Lamona 4 ring hob, Bosch oven, built in fridge freezer and a dishwasher plus plumbing for a washing machine. The dining area opposite makes this a perfect space for entertaining friends and family. There are two bedrooms which lead off this both being cosy rooms perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Going through the hall you are greeted by a bright and spacious living room with high ceilings allowing light to flood the room with splendid fell and lake views and an electric fire on a slate hearth, a truly perfect place for spending time relaxing. The final, spacious double bedroom also enjoys these splendid views. There is a 4 piece family bathroom comprising of a wc, wash basin and a panelled bath with shower over also having a storage cupboard.
This peaceful apartment is perfect as a weekend retreat, a holiday let, or a home in the heart of Grasmere. The apartment is easily managed in this superb setting with the added benefit of off road parking for one vehicle.
