Location
Ellerwood is situated on the A592, known locally as Lake Road and at Storrs Park, a short distance to the south of the town of Bowness-on-Windermere in South Lakeland, Cumbria, in the North West of England.

Bowness-on-Windermere is known as Cumbria's most popular tourist destination and is effectively one large settlement with Windermere having a resident population of circa 12,173 (2011 Census). The town provides a range of retail and leisure offerings. It is situated in the Lake District National Park which was designated in 1951, is the largest National Park in England and was recently awarded unesco World Heritage Status. It covers 2,362 square kilometres following the extension of its boundaries in August 2016 and makes up a third of the total area of Cumbria extending across parts of Eden, Allerdale, South Lakeland and Copeland. The National Park has a population of 41,100 (2011 Census) and attracts approximately 18,410,000 visitors each year with tourism being the major industry. (Source - Lake District National Park).

The district's Class Grouping indicates that in excess of 50% of the catchment area is of A, B or C demographic. Kendal offers good retail and leisure facilities within a bust town centre and benefits from year round festivals.
Oxenholme Train Station which is located to the south east of Kendal and around 13 miles from the subject property, provides services on the West Coast main railway line with direct routes to London (approximate journey time 2 hours 50 minutes) and Glasgow (1 hour 45 minutes).
The A592 runs along the eastern shore of Lake Windermere forming an exclusive stretch of detached private dwellings, hotels, marina clubs and boathouses and meeting up with the A590 and Newby Bridge, 7 miles to the south and north in to the heart of Bowness town centre.

The B5284 is accessed immediately from the A5074, a short distance to the north and travels east through the desirable Lyth Valley and providing an alternative 'back road' to Kendal approximately 8 miles away.
