1 Bed Apartment in Ambleside

About this property

Situated on the banks of the River Rothay, just a stone's throw from the heart of Ambleside, this superb bolthole is the ultimate romantic retreat, perfect for a peaceful couple's getaway. Those who love nothing more than the fresh air of the great outdoors will not be disappointed with this scenic spot on the banks of the River Rothay, with lovely riverside walks beginning from the doorstep. The surrounding historic market town of Ambleside is a walker's paradise, with plenty of scenic routes beginning from Waterhead Pier, a mile away. Located between Skiddaw and Derwentwater, sample some of the area's best local produce from Keswick, 17 miles away, offering a historic market every twice a week. Those who love life on the water can venture to nearby Bowness-on-Windermere, 6 miles away, to jump aboard a traditional steamer to sail Lake Windermere amongst superb views across the Lakeland fells.

This blissful bolthole proudly sits at the end of three properties, which all share a delightful lawned picnic area at the water's edge of the River Rothay. Accessed via a footbridge from the parking area, head through the front door and into the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner; large picture windows face towards the river and frame truly idyllic views. The contemporary kitchen will capture your imagination, inspiring you to whip up something delicious with your local flavours to be enjoyed around the dining table that's perfectly placed to enjoy the best views over the river. Sit back and unwind on the plush sofa in the lounge area, which boasts a roaring wood burner that sets the scene for pure relaxation. Head upstairs to wash off a long day in the contemporary bathroom before retiring to the soothing colour palette and peaceful ambience of the super-king-size bedroom.

Make the most of your beautifully serene setting by enjoying a spot of al fresco dining on the private patio area, with the amazing sights and sounds of the River Rothay as your backdrop. Outside, you can also enjoy the shared lawned picnic area at the water's edge. Secure storage is available for sports equipment if required, and there's a shared external laundry room. There is private parking available for two cars.
