Description With superb views of the surrounding fells and easy access to some of the Lake District’s finest walks, The Bowery is a beautifully presented one-bedroom stone-built apartment, perfectly positioned in the heart of Ambleside. Just moments from an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cinemas, this charming property offers an ideal second home, permanent residence or successful holiday let investment.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a wooden floor and radiator, leading through a part-glazed wooden door into the well-appointed kitchen. Fitted with a stylish range of base and wall units topped with quartz work surfaces, the kitchen combines practicality with contemporary design. Integrated appliances include a Smeg five-burner gas range cooker with double oven and extractor hood, a Bosch dishwasher, and an Indesit fridge and freezer. At its heart is a substantial central island with a striking timber light fitting above, providing both a generous preparation space and breakfast bar, with ample storage cupboards and drawers beneath. A south facing window fills the room with natural light.

The wooden flooring continues seamlessly into the spacious open-plan dining and living area. Accessed through elegant double part-glazed doors, this bright and inviting room features two large front-facing windows with fitted blinds. The high ceilings are enhanced by a decorative picture rail. An original Victorian fireplace with a wooden mantel and surround is complemented by a granite hearth. Currently sealed off, this attractive focal point could easily be reinstated.

Leading off the kitchen is a convenient downstairs cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, complemented by partially tiled walls and a tiled floor. A useful storage cupboard and coat rail provide practical space for outdoor clothing after a day exploring the surrounding fells.

A wooden staircase, illuminated by feature spotlights, leads to the first floor. The landing provides access to the loft and includes a useful built-in storage cupboard with display shelving above.

The generously sized double bedroom benefits from additional storage space beneath the eaves and enjoys delightful views towards the church, with stunning panoramas across to Loughrigg from the dormer window. A fitted wardrobe with mirrored sliding door enhances the sense of space by reflecting the natural light.

The bathroom features a tiled floor and partially tiled walls, and is fitted with a WC, bidet, large shower enclosure with Hansgrohe shower, and a vanity unit incorporating a wash hand basin with storage drawers beneath. A heated towel rail and radiator provide comfort, while the rear dormer window offers attractive glimpses of the surrounding fells. A built-in cupboard houses the Worcester boiler (fitted 2026) and provides additional storage and plumbing for a washing machine.

Outside, the apartment enjoys a delightful south-facing small seating area, offering wonderful views towards Loughrigg. With space for potted plants and outdoor seating, it provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine while taking in the beautiful Lakeland scenery.
