A truly unique investment opportunity in The Lake District National Park. This splendid stone built mid terraced home in the centre of Ambleside comprises four one bedroomed flats spread over three storeys, along with additional communal utility cloakroom and cellar room.

Close to amenities, this is a wonderful opportunity for an investor, whether as four individual flats as holiday lets, residential letting to long term tenants, or perhaps one amazing family home. The choice is yours.

Built in stone and slate this impressive three storey mid terraced property with lower ground floor cellar, has most recently been residentially let as three bright and airy flats, and one studio flat, alongside a spacious room which was rented out as office space.

The rooms are all very well proportioned, some retaining character features such as ceiling roses and original fireplaces, and some enjoy fell views over Ambleside from the upper floors. The property as a whole was upgraded in recent times and is a truly unique investment opportunity.

Location Located close 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. You can hike any of the surrounding fells, amble down to the lake shore or wander alongside pretty waterfalls.
