Inside Grand Designs’ ‘awe-inspiring’ dome house as it hits the market for £3.5 million

A FORMER Grand Designs home has recently hit the property market for an eye-watering sum of £3.5 million.

The stunning Bowness home, with views over the famous Windermere lake, is known as the Dome House.

The property's overhaul was filmed by Channel 4 a few years back, as its former owners turned it into both a huge family home, as well as a set of rentable luxury apartments.

At the time, the show's host Kevin McCloud described it as "impressive" and "awe-inspiring".

Its architect, Robert Gaukroger, designed the very unique structure in order for it to blend into the hillside overlooking the lake, as not to overly disrupt any views.

The incredible listing will set the new lucky buyer back £3,500,000.

It has been running as a holiday let for the past few years, and has even been named the 'Most Romantic Getaway' location by industry publication, Luxury BnB Magazine.

It comes with a swimming pool and a picture-perfect outdoor picnic area with a fireplace.

It even includes even self-contained private apartments, meaning that this is not only a home for its prospective buyer, but a business that's ready to go.

The property in total has a whopping seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, two massive kitchens, and a huge family room.
