This home caught our eye for its Lake Windermere views, best enjoyed from the terrace or one of the three living rooms. Keen chefs will appreciate the AGA and country-style kitchen, active types will love playing tennis on the courts, and the hot tub will suit every member after a day on the lake. The garden is a little steep, so you’ll need to keep an eye on little ones, but it’s a great spot to enjoy alfresco meals. There’s plenty of space here for both adults and kids – the Xbox will be a draw for younger guests. Located just a ten-minute walk from Bowness-On-Windermere, you’re perfectly placed for days on the lake.

Home truths:
