Full of character, this traditional stone cottage places friends and family right in the heart of Ambleside. From your doorstep, wander charming streets lined with independent shops, tempting tearooms and well-loved restaurants, all adding to the village’s lively Lakeland atmosphere. For a dose of the outdoors, follow woodland trails to Stock Ghyll Force (1 mile), where a cascading waterfall creates a striking backdrop in every season. Lake Windermere is less than a mile away, opening up opportunities for lakeside walks and time on the water. Further afield, take a scenic cruise aboard the Coniston Gondola (8.5 miles), visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (6 miles), or head into Grizedale Forest (10.5 miles) for walking trails, cycling routes and outdoor sculptures set among the trees. Enter the front door into a welcoming lounge, where a wood burner creates a warm focal point alongside a Smart TV for easy evenings in. From here, move through to the kitchen/dining area, thoughtfully equipped for cooking and gathering around the table. To the rear, a handy utility area/boot room with a washer/dryer and freezer leads out to the courtyard. On the first floor, you’ll find two bathrooms – one a shower room, the other featuring a roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower – along with a stylish king-size bedroom finished in rich blue and orange tones. Continue up to the second floor, where two further bedrooms await: both versatile super-king-size zip-and-links that can be arranged as twins if needed. Both bedrooms are light and airy thanks to large windows looking over the rooftops. Outside, the courtyard is a cosy suntrap with seating for two – just right for a morning coffee or an evening drink. Parking is available in nearby public car parks and 1-hour on-street parking is available directly outside the property for unloading.
