This attractive end terraced cottage enjoys a winning combination of bright and welcoming accommodation with proximity and accessibility not only to central Ambleside but the wonderful array of fell walks which surround it.

Conveniently placed just a moments stroll from the centre of the village and spread over three floors, this bright 3 bedroomed, 2 reception,1 bathroomed end of terrace stone built cottage is currently a cherished home but would equally be suited as an ideal weekend retreat or holiday let.

The entrance hall welcomes you in, with ample space for dealing with damp coats and muddy shoes, leading you seamlessly to the welcoming dual aspect sitting/ dining room. An elegant room with a high ceiling, coving and a lovely bay window – perhaps being the perfect spot to enjoy a bit of people watching. The dining area is cosy with its wood burning stove, with the kitchen close by this lends itself perfectly to family gatherings, entertaining and relaxing with family and friends.

The modern kitchen features contemporary tiling and is fitted with wall and base units having complementary work surfaces incorporating an inset sink and a half with drainer and mixer tap over. Integrated appliances include a Siemens induction four ring hob, a Bosch oven, and separate second oven with combined microwave. There is also plumbing provision for a dishwasher.

Just beyond is a delightful sun room, cosy and welcoming with underfloor heating, there are no cold toes here! A rather special addition to this traditional terraced home, it truly brings the outside in, perfect for taking a quiet moment or two with a good book, crossword or maybe even forty winks.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the contemporary and stylish bathroom. Having tiled walls and flooring benefitting from underfloor heating – another treat for bare feet, and a four piece suite including a panel bath, walk in rainfall shower with separate hand attachment, wash basin set above vanity style drawers and a WC.This room features a deep integrated storage cupboard which houses the gas central heating boiler and conveniently has plumbing provision for an automatic washing machine.

The primary bedroom is a bright and airy double, with deep integrated wardrobes providing excellent clothes storage. The second bedroom is currently utilised as a twin, whilst on the top floor, accessed via stairs from the first floor landing, is an additional bedroom. With restricted height in places, this would also be an excellent home office or hobby room, the options are endless. Under eaves cupboards here provide further storage space.

Outside is a sunny rear patio – ideal for that morning coffee, or perhaps a glass of something cool at the end of the day.

All in all, a real gem of a house in the heart of wonderful Ambleside – having been rewired and replumbed 8 years ago, this is a much loved and cared for home – don’t leave it too late to arrange your viewing!

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. There really is something for everyone.
