Description Nestled along a quiet lane just minutes from the picturesque village of Ambleside, Hollies is a charming one-bedroom traditional stone-built semi-detached cottage enjoying beautiful lake and fell views. Ideally positioned for exploring the Lake District’s renowned walking routes, while being within easy reach of Ambleside’s excellent cafés, shops, and restaurants, this delightful property would make an ideal second home or successful holiday let.

Hollies is an attractive corner property with a traditional stone façade complemented by white-painted finishes. A stone bench outside provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of its surroundings.

The partially glazed front door opens directly into a cosy dual-aspect living and dining room. Featuring wood-effect tiled flooring throughout the ground floor, this welcoming space benefits from windows to both the front and side elevations, each with deep windowsills that enhance the cottage’s character. There is space for a small dining table, while the open fireplace with its slate hearth and wooden mantel creates a warm focal point. Two useful storage cupboards are conveniently positioned by the front door.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units topped with wood-effect laminate work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a Lamona four-ring electric hob, electric oven with extractor hood above, and a Kenwood dishwasher. There is additional space beneath the staircase recess for a fridge. Attractive square tiled splashbacks complement the room, while a side window fills the kitchen with natural light. A cupboard houses the Worcester boiler, and a further tall storage cupboard provides excellent additional storage. A rear door leads to the pedestrian right of way at the back of the property.

A traditional wooden latch door leads to the staircase to the first floor, where coat hooks at the foot of the stairs provide practical everyday storage.

The spacious double bedroom enjoys delightful dual-aspect views, with a front-facing window overlooking the surrounding fells and a side window offering stunning views towards the lake. The room provides space for a wardrobe and includes built-in bedside shelving, ideal for keeping books or a morning cup of tea close to hand.

The bathroom is fully tiled and finished with laminate flooring. It comprises a WC, wash hand basin with mirror above, and a bath with mixer taps and shower over. Additional features include an extractor fan, heated electric towel rail, and two useful storage cupboards.

Opposite the cottage is a door within the stone wall which leads to an out building, in need of some renovation, but providing very useful additional storage. Parking is available on the road nearby on a first come first served basis.
