Ben House: Your Elegant Lakeland Escape in the True Heart of the Lake District (Highly Commended 5 Star).
Nestled in a tranquil corner of Grasmere, widely regarded as the true heart of the Lake District, Ben House offers an extraordinary retreat in an elegant early Victorian setting. This highly commended 5-star property has been recently and extensively renovated to exacting standards, creating a luxurious and comfortable holiday home that seamlessly blends original charm with contemporary convenience. From the moment you step into the beautifully tiled hallway, you'll be captivated by the high ceilings, large windows, and feature fireplaces that speak to the house's distinguished history as a gentleman's residence built in the 1830s.
Ben House boasts three beautifully presented bedrooms, comfortably sleeping up to six guests. You'll find two king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom featuring bespoke luxury finishes and underfloor heating. The third bedroom offers a flexible super king-size zip link bed, which can be configured as twin beds upon request. A well-appointed family bathroom and a downstairs cloakroom with WC add to the convenience.
The spacious living areas are designed for relaxation and enjoyment. The large lounge features comfortable leather sofas and a contemporary gas fire, perfect for cosy evenings. The south-facing dining room, with its charming bay window, provides an elegant setting for meals. A delightful sunroom offers an additional space to unwind and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. The designer kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and a Krups Nespresso machine (guests are kindly asked to provide their own pods). A separate utility room houses a washing machine and drier, and you'll also find a handy drinks fridge and drying room.
Outside, Ben House offers a private and picturesque setting. The garden features a wildlife pond, and a furnished south-facing patio provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining and enjoying the Lakeland air. An additional sitting area in the garden offers further space to relax. For those who enjoy cycling, a garage is available for bike storage. Private parking is provided for up to three cars.
With walks directly accessible from the front door and the charming heart of Grasmere village just a short stroll away, offering cosy tea rooms, handy shops, and a range of eateries including the Michelin-starred Forestside restaurant, Ben House is the perfect base for experiencing the beauty and adventure of the Lake District. We look forward to welcoming you to this exceptional property.
