Ambwray

About this property

Ambwray is a welcoming, contemporary detached bungalow resting in the beautiful lakeside village of Ambleside, Cumbria, positioned within the Lake District National Park and providing single-storey living, off-road parking, and captivating views over the village towards the surrounding mountains. As you step inside, you are welcomed into a bright open-plan living space where large windows and contemporary furnishings give a relaxed, uplifting feel. The sitting area is anchored by a woodburning stove, which is double sided and warms both the kitchen and living space, creating a central gathering point after days spent exploring, while the adjacent dining space encourages long, unhurried mealtimes. The stylish contemporary kitchen is arranged to keep everything close at hand, so preparing favourite dishes or simple snacks is straightforward, complemented by the added convenience of a utility room.

The layout of Ambwray suits families or friends travelling together, with three bedrooms offering plenty of space to unpack and settle in. The king-size bedroom and one double each benefit from en-suite walk-in showers, adding a touch of opulence to the daily routine, and the third double is served by a bathroom featuring both a bath and a separate walk-in shower. When the weather tempts you outdoors, the enclosed garden becomes an appealing extension of the living space, providing a spot to sit out, enjoy the fresh air, and appreciate the backdrop of village rooftops and distant slopes.

Staying at Ambwray places you just a short walk from the bustling town centre, with many shops, pubs, and eateries to browse at your leisure. Ambleside also offers riverside walks leading up to Wansfell Pike, Rydal Cave and Stock Ghyll Force. The nearby river offers more scenic walks, while Lake Windermere offers watersports activities and lake cruises. With plenty of local walks from the door and mountain scenery framing every outing, Ambwray in Ambleside, Cumbria, sets the scene for a memorable stay in the Lake District National Park.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside with its numerous shops makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips, and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and the lakeside at Waterhead with parkland offering lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach. A walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre. Ambleside has plenty of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes from great fish & chips to its two Michelin Star restaurants and all tastes in between are catered for.
