Picturesque Ullswater Boathouse
Description
Situation
Leeming Boathouse is superbly situated in the heart of the Lake District, beside the north shore of Ullswater close to Leeming House Hotel and the hamlet of Watermillock. The property sits in a sheltered and private position with uninterrupted Lake views south to Sharrow Bay, beyond which farmland and woodlands rise towards the spectacular Lakeland Fells.
There are good transport connections, being close to the A66, only 7 miles from Penrith, the M6 motorway and the West Coast mainline, with regular services to London, some in under 3.5 hours. Newcastle Airport is 83 miles to the east and Manchester Airport 98 miles to the south.
Description
Leeming Boathouse is an excellent example of a Lakeland Boathouse in a most beautiful part of the Lake District National Park, yet is very accessible. The setting beside the water and shoreline is simply wonderful, with extensive wooded gardens and a balcony to maximize enjoyment. Located close the grounds of Leeming House Hotel, the property is the perfect weekend retreat.
The Boathouse
The property consists of a traditional stone built boathouse with a slate roof, constructed in the late 1960’s modern techniques have been used. Thereafter, the property has been well maintained and renovated by the vendors. The accommodation includes a wonderful open plan living / bedroom space, complete with double doors to the balcony area. To the rear is a functional kitchen with counters, sink, useful storage and space for fridge, freezer or other appliances. From the kitchen area there is a shower room with WC and wash basin, adjacent to this is further storage and the hot water cylinder.
Throughout the property are roof lights which make for a particularly light space, this with the exposed beams, stonework and timber boarding give an authentic ambience. The living area previously included a log burning stove, the flue remains and could be replaced and reconnected should a purchaser wish.
Boathouse wet dock
Below the living accommodation is a wet dock, dredged to ensure a sufficient draft is maintained, the wet docks benefits from a secure steel gate and hatch, with access steps to the rear.
Balcony
The balcony is a sought-after feature of the property and provides a wonderful compact outside space which seamless links to the internal living accommodation, the doors also allow light to fill the living area.
Gardens, Lakeshore, Jetty and Slipway
The sale includes a significant area of lakeshore, wooded gardens and grounds, and a private parking and turning area. The outside space is framed by mature trees, which make for a private sheltered and attractive setting.

The stone jetty shelters the wet dock and provides a mooring point.
