Grey Walls in Windermere is nearing completion of its conversion into 17 luxury apart-hotel suites, with opening scheduled for December 2026. The project aims to blend the building's traditional Lakeland stone exterior with modern, self-contained accommodation designed for both short breaks and extended stays.
Oakden is overseeing the full renovation, working with clients, architects and structural engineers to deliver the final finishes. The refurbishment includes reconfiguring internal walls and installing structural steelwork to support new suite layouts. Each suite will feature a kitchen, bathroom and living space, offering guests apartment-style independence.
The client's vision combines Grey Walls's historic character with contemporary interiors, creating an environment that reflects its Windermere setting. Oakden stated: 'That relationship between old and new will shape the experience of the building, retaining a sense of its Windermere setting while introducing the comfort and independence of apartment-style accommodation.' The project has prioritised clear communication, careful planning and attention to detail throughout.
