Helvellyn, 3 Beck Allans, College Street, LA22 9SZ

Description Locations do not get much better than this. Tucked away in the heart of Grasmere village whilst enjoying lovely fell views - what more could you ask for? This delightful and stylishly finished first floor 1 bedroomed apartment has its own private parking space and the peaceful setting makes for a perfect lock up and leave retreat or holiday let in the centre of the Lake District National Park.

The open plan living room and kitchen offer a cosy welcoming atmosphere complemented by the elegant double bedroom and stylish en-suite bathroom - simply perfect.

Beck Allans is an attractive traditional stone and slate property located in the centre of Grasmere. Quietly tucked away, this distinctive property was originally built in the 1850's by a wealthy Manchester businessman who no doubt appreciated the beauty of the surrounding scenery, which is every bit as stunning now as it was then. In the 1970's the building was thoughtfully subdivided to create the wonderful apartments found here today.

A sweet, covered porch, ideal for dealing with wet coats and muddy boots leads to a welcoming, well maintained communal entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor. Just off the landing is the private entrance to Helvellyn. Lovely and light thanks to the large window, the living room offers ample space in which to relax, cook and dine in comfort. There is a charming log burner set upon a slate hearth and flanked by a Lakeland stone surround with a timber mantle providing a welcoming focal point in the sitting area for those cooler evenings. Not forgetting a useful storage cupboard and views through the trees to Loughrigg.

The stylish kitchen area includes a modern range of attractive wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a Beko electric hob with an extractor fan above, and oven, built in microwave, fridge and dishwasher. With space to dine in front of the window, you can admire the view, and relax after a day on the fells.

The light and elegant double bedroom has glimpses of the River Rothay, and views up to Helm Crag (the famous Lion and the Lamb) from the window. Benefitting from an integrated wardrobe and separate dressing table unit, the bedroom is complemented by the stylish en-suite bathroom which includes a three piece suite comprising a bath with combined raindrop and flexi-hose shower over with a glazed screen, a hand basin with a vanity unit and mixer tap, touch free lit mirror and a dual flush WC.

The property has its own private parking space for one vehicle as well as shared use of the lovely grounds.

In addition, all residents of Beck Allans have access to a communal laundry room housing both a washing machine and dryer, and iron with ironing board.

Directions Beck Allans is located in a delightful position in the centre of Grasmere Village and yet is tucked away from the main thoroughfares. From our office in Ambleside head north on the A591 to Grasmere passing Rydal Water and Grasmere Lake along the way. Upon reaching the roundabout take the first exit into the village. On entering the village follow the main road, passing the church and famous 'Grasmere Gingerbread' shop on the right hand side, and the entrance to Beck Allans is the next turning on the right after The Wordsworth Hotel. Once you have entered the drive, the allocated parking space can be found on your left off the driveway.
