1 Bedroom Apartment

Hidden away at the end of a quiet, leafy track within Whitbarrow Village, The Sanctuary feels exactly as its name suggests — calm, private and beautifully considered.

This thoughtfully renovated one-bedroom apartment offers something far more atmospheric than a typical Lake District base. Elevated in design yet wonderfully inviting, it blends contemporary styling with soft, layered finishes to create a space that feels both indulgent and restorative.

The setting is wonderfully peaceful. Surrounded by woodland and open skies, there is an immediate sense of separation from the everyday. Long summer evenings drift effortlessly onto the private balcony, where a glass of wine stretches into sunset as the distant fells soften into dusky pink. In winter, the mood turns inward — ambient lighting, warm textures and quiet surroundings creating the perfect place to slow down.

Inside, the open-plan living space is bright and welcoming. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, drawing natural light deep into the apartment, while architectural lighting adds warmth and atmosphere after dark. A plush seating area provides the perfect place to unwind, complemented by integrated smart technology for modern convenience — though the real luxury here is the feeling of calm.

The kitchen is sleek and intelligently designed, featuring high-spec Siemens appliances including induction hob, combination oven, warming drawer, slimline dishwasher and integrated fridge-freezer. Streamlined and beautifully finished, it balances practicality with premium detail.

The bedroom is a true retreat within the retreat. A super king-size bed with pocket-sprung mattress, layered linens and shutter blinds create a space that feels boutique yet deeply restful. Every element has been chosen to enhance comfort without compromising on style.

The en-suite shower room continues the refined aesthetic, finished with striking grey Porcelanosa tiles, a generous rainfall shower and a sculptural stone basin. Clean lines and quality materials give it a spa-like feel — contemporary, elegant and immaculately presented.

Owners also benefit from access to Whitbarrow Village’s on-site leisure facilities, including swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, gym, restaurant and bar — offering a rare combination of countryside seclusion and resort-style convenience.

Whether as a sophisticated second home, a lock-up-and-leave Lake District base, or an investment opportunity within a well-positioned development, The Sanctuary offers lifestyle, design and tranquillity in equal measure.
