The Peakview 
The Peakview is the largest lodge in our Whitbarrow collection, set on a carefully chosen elevated plot to maximise views. Its design makes the most of the light and outlook, with vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing in the lodge’s main living areas. 

Inside, the open-plan layout is arranged for easy, everyday living. The kitchen, dining area, and lounge sit beneath a pitched ceiling, with Crittall-style doors opening onto a private terrace. Sleek cabinetry houses integrated NEFF appliances, a Quooker hot tap, and a wine cooler, while a large island provides a central point for cooking and conversation. A built-in Sonos sound system and Samsung TVs are included as standard. 

The principal bedroom is finished in rich, deep tones and includes a private en-suite with a rainfall shower, Hansgrohe fittings, and a freestanding bathtub. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family or guests, and a second bathroom continues the same pared-back, contemporary style. 

Externally 
The terrace extends the living space outdoors and is fitted with Akula furniture. Features include a hot tub, pergola, BBQ and sauna—ideal for making the most of the natural surroundings.
