An incredible boat house right on the water’s edge in the Lake District has gone up for sale – for a whopping £2.25m

A rare chance to buy a house that isn’t just waterside, but literally on top of the water, has hit the market – and this piece of Lake District history could be yours for a cool £2.25m.

The Boat House is a charming two-bedroom house that stands on top of the mighty Lake Windermere, with its own wet dock beneath heading right out onto this iconic lake.

The home’s main attraction is, obviously, its setting, at the heart of one of the UK’s most treasured national parks.

The house has massive windows that offer panoramic views of the lake itself and the surrounding fells.

The Lake District boat house stands in the grounds of the Pullwoods Bay Estate, where there are also mansion house apartments and a gatehouse along with this converted boat house.

While the outside is in keeping with the property’s age, inside is a much more modern story.

Expect two double en suite bedrooms, a modern open-plan kitchen and living room, and a contemporary interior.

It’s a compact home but the location and character go some way to justifying its £2,250,000 price tag.

The Boathouse is currently used as a holiday let, and can be sold fully furnished with all advance bookings.

It’s located between the hotspots of Ambleside and Hawkshead and on the north western shore of Lake Windermere.
