A boathouse with stunning views of one of England’s most iconic lakes has gone on sale for an eye-watering £2.25million.
The unique property boasts panoramic views of Lake Windermere with 100metres of private lake frontage and sits within nearly an acre of grounds in Ambleside.
The two-bed boathouse oozes charm with black timber beams, warm panels and a steep roof surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery.
Inside, the design is modern and chic with two ensuite double bedrooms and a spacious open-plan living area designed to maximise the breath-taking lake views.
Floor-to-ceiling folding doors open onto a glass-fronted balcony, offering views of the water, wildlife and passing boats.

The boathouse is fully furnished with high-end fixtures, including Corian kitchen worktops, NEFF appliances, and luxurious travertine bathrooms.
The principal bedroom suite on the first floor rises to the roof apex, with oak-framed windows capturing the morning light over the lake.

The property also has full residential status, making it suitable as a main home.
In August, a seven-bedroom Georgian country house in Worcestershire where Winston Churchill reportedly met Charles de Gaulle went on the market for £3.75million.
Grade II-listed Winterdyne House in Bewdley was built in 1760 by Sir Edward Winnington Bart, and is thought to have been designed by the Adams brothers, who were prominent architects and designers in the period.
Winterdyne has seven bedrooms and four bathrooms and overlooks the River Severn and the historic market town of Bewdley.
The views are extensive and encompass grazing safari animals at the nearby West Midlands Safari Park and a steam locomotive railway in the distance.
The estate used to sit in 70 acres of land, but this has been cut back to around 30 acres over time.
The main house is approached via a sweeping driveway and has three reception rooms, a kitchen with bespoke units and Aga, billiard room, film room, gymnasium and a home office.
