Oakroyd is a traditional Lakeland stone and slate house in Ambleside, Cumbria, sitting within the Lake District National Park. Less than a five-minute walk from town, it's quietly positioned yet completely central. Panoramic views of the surrounding fells are visible from the top floor, including Loughrigg Fell and the Fairfield Horseshoe.

Ambleside sits at the northern end of Windermere. Rothay Park is just 0.5 miles away. Rydal Water and Caves are 2.5 miles out with stepping stones and picnic spots along the route. Cyclists can take on The Struggle one of England's hardest climbs at 400 metres above Ambleside.

Oakroyd sleeps six across three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first-floor super-king bedroom overlooks Loughrigg Fell. Both second-floor twin rooms face Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe with one twin benefiting from en-suite facilities. The first-floor bathroom has a free-standing roll-top bath, with a large walk-in shower in the shower room on the same floor.

Windermere lake is under 2 miles away. Grasmere village is roughly 4 miles north. Coniston Water is around 10 miles. Ambleside town centre is a short walk.

Oakroyd suits walkers, cyclists and families who want a well-finished Lake District base. Enclosed courtyard for al fresco dining plus a wood burner inside makes this a strong all-weather choice, with the Fairfield Horseshoe filling the view from the upper floors.
