Altar End

About this property

This interesting stone cottage was created from the Eastern section of St Anne’s Church. The church, an historically important building, was built in 1812. It is believed that a chapel occupied the site from the 1550s. This area of Ambleside will tempt you to explore its characterful lanes and original buildings which are steeped in history. Alternatively, you can head out on many peaceful, scenic walks through the spectacular Lakeland countryside from your doorstep. After you have parked in your private space, take a few moments to admire the stunning arched windows along the side of the property. Step through your front door straight into your modern, bright fitted kitchen which is well-equipped with a convenient dining table close by. The comforta-ble sitting room with feature fireplace invites you to spend time relaxing whilst listening to your fa-vourite music or thinking about your next day’s plans. Climb up the carpeted stairs directly from your dining area to discover your bedrooms. Appreciate the tasteful, traditional style furnishings as you enter your pleasant double bedroom, which features a gorgeous arched window through which you have dramatic views of Wansfell Pike. The twin bed-room and good-sized single (suitable for a child only) have lovely pine furniture. Don’t forget to sit out on warmer evenings on your private enclosed patio, where you are partially screened by trees when you eat alfresco at your picnic table. There's much fun to be had with your loved ones on an escape to Altar End.

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.
