Description Enjoying a delightfully peaceful setting overlooking a small duck pond and having lovely fell views, particularly from the private patio, this immaculate and recently upgraded two bedroomed ground-floor apartment, which has its own private parking, is impeccably presented. The open plan living space includes a superb fitted kitchen area and enjoys direct access onto the patio whilst the two double bedrooms are supplemented by a stylish bathroom.

For those with a love of nature, this quiet woodland setting is simply idyllic. There are simply too many superb walks accessible from this welcoming purpose built apartment to number - so whether a stroll through this wonderful woodland setting to the discreet on site leisure facilities is your thing, a day hiking the high fells or a gentle amble down to a local Inn is on the agenda- all can be achieved on foot from the doorstep.

This purpose-built ground floor apartment is entered via a wide entrance hall where the warm oak flooring instantly creates a feeling of welcome. Your eyes may straight away be drawn through to the open plan sitting room ahead of you where the large patio doors reveal a delightful view out over the duck pond. What could be more appealing than taking a seat here in the dappled sunlight and simply listening to the birds as you gaze out through the trees to the Lakeland fells beyond?

The superb kitchen area is stylishly equipped with Neff and AEG appliances, set off by gorgeous quartz work surfaces. This open plan space not only provides superbly for those preparing meals, but also for dining and more importantly, relaxing in comfort. The two double bedrooms are evenly balanced and there is a luxury bathroom.

The discreet on site leisure facilities (sufficiently distant so as not to threaten the peace and tranquility) are just a short stroll away and include a heated indoor swimming pool with changing facilities, a games area, laundry and a small shop. For those simply wanting to relax aching muscles after a long day on the fells (or a long week at work) there is also a sauna.

Ideal as a weekend retreat or holiday let, Merlins can be occupied all year round for holiday use but cannot be occupied as a permanent residence, and is highly recommended for early viewing.
