The Heights

About this property

A contemporary town house with lake and mountain views. Situated in Bowness, with its vibrant high street, this property benefits from the village’s many shops, pubs and highly regarded restaurants. With a 3-screen cinema, theatre and many opportunities to try out the range of water sports on offer, there is never a dull moment for guests staying at The Heights.

The property itself is arranged to make the most of its great views. The ground level has the feel of a self-contained apartment with double bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. A neat rear garden leads off from this floor. Up the stairs to the first floor which has two further double bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The main living space can be found on the second floor. An open plan living area has large balcony windows with wonderful views, and an open plan kitchen completes the stylish accommodation.

Outside there is private parking for two cars, a real plus in this busy lakeside village. Whether you choose to relax on the balcony, watch the boats go by, or explore the village and countryside beyond, this is a truly unique property in a lively location.
