The detail

The Wilfrid offers luxurious accommodation with an unparalleled village location and conveniently local facilities. The house has recently undergone extensive renovations in order to retain its historical character and original features whilst introducing top-of-the-range modern amenities. Set beneath the breathtaking backdrop of the Langdale Valley and its surrounding peaks, in the idyllic village of Chapel Stile, its chocolate box cottage charm combined with a luxurious contemporary boutique hotel finish will ensure an unforgettable stay.

The stylish and spacious family kitchen/diner provides a natural hub designed with sociability in mind. Pull up a perch on one of the Phillipe Starck bar stools gathered around the spacious central island and chat with a drink as dinner is prepared on the electric Aga, in stylish aubergine. Dekton and French oak worktops provide plentiful preparation space, with all the essential appliances you would expect alongside a Smeg coffee machine and instant boiling hot water tap for your morning cuppa. Supremely spacious living zones offer a new outlook; hang out in front of the fire, snuggled up in the plush wingback chairs, or seek solitude with a favourite book while you gaze out on stunning views straight down the valley.

Spend quality time relaxing, playing games or simply leafing through a magazine in the sumptuously sized, south-facing sitting room where the original wood flooring captures the country vibe. Stretch out beneath the original beams of the high ceiling before the crackling warmth of the log-burning stove. Two large sofas are accompanied by a duo of cushioned window seats, framing views out over the Langdale Valley. Dine in style beneath the spider lighting of the eight-seater dining table, or watch a movie on the Samsung television, framed to appear like artwork when in sleep mode. Luxury finishes can be seen throughout this stunning home in the custom-made throw cushions, window seats and upholstery while its exposed beams and log-burning stoves embody the beauty and tranquillity of the Lake District.

Take the stairs up from the sitting room, where glazed double doors within a box bay window frame unrivalled views over the Langdales, enticing you out to the patio and immaculate gardens beyond where you can relax with a drink or enjoy a BBQ. Four luxury bedrooms with ambient spa-style ensuite bathrooms offer the ultimate in relaxation and guarantee a restful sleep in stylishly chic surroundings. This luxury holiday home offers the most decadent of creature comforts.

Nestled at the top of the hill only a short walk from the pubs, the shop and restaurants that comprise Chapel Stile and Elterwater, the property is also ideally placed for fell walking, climbing and cycling with convenient access to notable routes such as The Langdale Pikes, Crinkle Crags, Bow Fell and the majestic Scafell, with water sports and boat trips available on the nearby lakes of Windermere and Coniston.
