Ellers Close is a stone-built semi-detached farmhouse in Loughrigg. This historic property sits in the Loughrigg and Skelwith Bridge area of Cumbria. One of four buildings forming a historic farm estate, it occupies an elevated hillside position just over 2 miles from Ambleside.

The peaceful setting provides direct access to Loughrigg Tarn via a short walk behind the cottage. More ambitious walkers can tackle Loughrigg Fell for open views across the fells. A ferry service across Lake Windermere runs from nearby Waterhead, and Ambleside's shops and restaurants are within reach too.

The farmhouse sleeps 4 across 3 bedrooms: one king-size and two singles. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath. A handsome lounge features high ceilings, large windows on two sides and an open fire. The elegant dining room sits two steps down from the kitchen and includes a wood burner. The smart country kitchen contains a ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge with freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

Stock Ghyll Force waterfall is a short walk from Ambleside, dropping 20 metres. A ferry service operates from Waterhead across Lake Windermere. Ambleside town centre, just over 2 miles away, offers a cinema plus cafes and restaurants.

Ellers Close suits families and dog owners wanting fell walking from the door. The large rambling garden includes a stream and water feature. Two dogs welcome.
