A substantial 5 bedroom mid terraced Lakeland stone and slate house in the heart of Ambleside. Now in need of some modernisation this property could be a fabulous family home, additional residence or indeed a holiday let if so desired.

Shirland offers spacious accommodation of living room, dining room and kitchen to the ground floor and 2 cellar rooms to the lower ground floor. 3 Bedrooms and a wet room to the first floor and a further 2 bedrooms and a shower room to the second (top) floor.

The property offers some fantastic original features with original ornate flooring to the entrance hall, Lakeland slate flooring to the dining room and kitchen. There wonderfully high ceilings throughout the ground and first floors which gives a great sense of space to the rooms.

Entering the property into the entrance hall there is plenty of space to hang coats and kick off boots and its a fabulous space to lead you on the rest of the accommodation. The living room has a lovely bay window looking on to the main throughfare of Ambleside and a fireplace housing an electric fire with stone surround.

Through into the dining room with the original Lakeland slate flooring, a stunning feature! This room could easily be opened up into the kitchen to create an open plan breakfast kitchen if so desired. The kitchen is currently arranged as a galley kitchen with a small range of wall and base units and a laminate worktop. From here are stairs down to the 2 cellar rooms, one smaller room housing the original coal chute and a larger room which is a great storage area. From the kitchen there is access to the rear patio seating area with Lakeland stone store with WC.

Stairs from the ground floor take you to the first floor where there are 3 bedrooms and a recently installed wet room. There are two good sized double rooms and a single room. Stairs to the second floor (top) and the 2 remaining bedrooms, one with a dormer window and one with a Velux – both require work but could offer fabulous views of the magnificent surrounding fells. There is a small shower room to this floor.

Location Shirland is 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!
