About this property

Ghyll View is a spacious and stylish apartment spread over two floors just a half mile walk into the centre of Ambleside, which is situated in the heart of the Lake District national park. A perfect place for walking and touring in this beautiful part of the world.

Take a gentle stroll, down Peggy Hill to explore the specialist shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. View the latest film at the excellent cinema or take in the lovely Rothay Park where you can enjoy a tranquil and level walk by the river. A fifteen-minute walk from the centre of town will take you to Waterhead, where you can take a cruise or hire a boat on beautiful Windermere, England's largest natural lake. You will be surrounded by glorious countryside, with walking routes to suit everyone, from a village stroll or level river walk to a challenging hike up a mountain. Right from your own doorstep.Leave your car in one of the two named parking spaces, climb the short stairs and walk along the covered balcony where you can hang your coats just inside the front door. Step into the lovely spacious sitting room with dining area and admire the elegant decoration and comfortable furnish-ings. Go out through the full height glass doors and sit with your favourite drink on the delightful small balcony with bistro set. Conjure up a delicious meal in your stylish fitted kitchen and share a lovely evening in the comfortable dining area with family or friends. At the end of a busy day, walk down-stairs to your tastefully decorated bedrooms. Your master bedroom has a king-sized double with en-suite walk-in shower. Your second bedroom is a double and there is a further good-sized twin room. There is also a modern family bathroom at this level.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside 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 numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst 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.
