Enjoying wonderful south-facing views (including a glimpse of Lake Windermere), this lovely old stone-built terraced cottage is superbly placed for ready access to the village centre, the lake shore and the surrounding fells alike.

Full of character the accommodation comprises a welcoming cosy sitting room, kitchen, bright double bedroom with luxury en suite bathroom, and a further home office area in the loft space above – this cottage is truly special and full of love.

The sweet canopy porch over the elegant and stylish door sets the tone for the rest of this cherished Lakeland cottage. The sitting/dining room is cosy with its Morso wood burning stove and characterful exposed slate lintel above. With wide window sill, tempting to use as a window seat for quietly watching the world go by, this is an ideal room in which to kick back and relax after a day on the fells.

The kitchen is fitted with modern wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and incorporate a stainless steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a Neff four ring gas hob set above a Hotpoint electric oven with extractor over, Hotpoint undercounter fridge and a Logik slimline dishwasher. Stairs from here lead to the bright double bedroom enjoying some lovely views.

The luxury en suite bathroom has tiled walls and a three piece suite comprising of a stylish shaped panel bath with Bristan rainfall shower over (also having a separate hand held attachment), wash hand basin and WC. Underfloor heating here is a treat for bare feet! A heated ladder style towel rail/ radiator ensures warm towels are always to hand. An integrated cupboard houses the Vailant gas central heating boiler.

A short staircase from the bedroom leads to a loft space – having restricted head height in places, this makes an excellent home office or snug, but could also be utilised as an additional bedroom, perhaps for children. This room also benefits from a useful under eaves storage cupboard, and a Velux window letting natural light flood in.

Outside is a store, ideal for dealing with garden or outdoor equipment, whilst an easily maintained secluded patio to the rear (over which the cottages on either side have a pedestrian right of way) completes the picture. Sure to attract a lot of attention, early viewing is recommended.

Location Just a short walk to the centre of Ambleside which offers an exceptional array of highly regarded restaurants, cafes, shops and traditional Lakeland inns, not to mention a surprising selection of cinema screens. There are excellent recreational facilities including parks, tennis and crazy golf. Not forgetting that you can hike any of the surrounding fells or amble down to the lake shore.
