1 Bed Apartment in Ambleside

About this property

Situated in a quiet part of Ambleside, this charming ground-floor apartment is a former artist's studio and is one of a small group of properties in a delightful, elevated building within easy reach of the town centre. Ambleside has a choice of friendly restaurants, independent shops and traditional pubs, with attractions including Zeffirellis Cinema, The Bridge House, and Ambleside Roman Fort. Stock Ghyll Force is just outside the town, and from Waterhead Pier (0.5 miles) you can take a boat trip along the length of Windermere, calling in at Brockhole, Wray Castle, Bowness, and Lakeside. The area has a wealth of destinations for eager walkers including Wansfell Pike, Loughrigg Fell, and the Langdale Pikes (all within 7 miles). Rydal Water and Grasmere are to the north (both within 4 miles), with Coniston Water and Esthwaite Water to the south-west (both within 6.5 miles).

A flight of external steps leads up to this characterful retreat, where you will be greeted by a fresh and generous lounge with a lovely wood burner-effect gas fire, ample seating, and Smart TV – offering a relaxing space to snuggle up and unwind together. Heading along the cheerful hallway, the light and elegantly arranged kitchen has a wealth of useful equipment alongside a sleek breakfast bar perfect for sharing a romantic meal. When it's time to turn in for the night, the charming bedroom has a lovely king-size bed, plenty of storage space, and picturesque views towards Loughrigg Fell and Nab Scar. The accommodation is rounded off with a bright, refreshing and fully tiled bathroom.

Stepping outside, a small patio garden area has bench seating, providing a lovely spot for a quiet drink in the evening. An additional shared patio area has further seating and beautiful views over the town and towards the surrounding fells. Parking for unloading is available at the bottom of the steps. For long-term parking, a parking permit is supplied which can be used at several nearby car parks.
