About this property
Situated in The Green, the oldest and quaintest part of "old Ambleside", and built of local Lakeland stone, this Ambleside cottage is ideally placed for enjoying all the village has to offer. Whether you are walkers, shoppers or foodies, Ambleside has it all! As soon as you step inside, this cottage will wrap you in its charm, having been lovingly renovated to the highest of standards, and retaining original fireplaces and exposed timbers. The rooms are beautifully presented, including a spacious open plan living area with woodburning stove set in a Kirkstone slate fireplace, and spectacular roof top views over Ambleside across to Loughrigg. French windows open out on to a terrace area, perfect for enjoying sunsets after a day exploring the fabulous area around this cottage in Ambleside. Offering three delightful bedrooms, including a king-size double with impressive views, this is perfect for romantic weekends, family holidays or get-togethers with friends! Ambleside has excellent facilities with numerous shops, pubs and restaurants. A short walk from this Ambleside cottage brings you to Bridge House - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and a favourite subject for many artists, and Lake Windermere is on the doorstep. A lovely cottage for a relaxing year-round break.
Given its excellent position at the northern tip of Lake Windermere - England's largest lake - Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes. The town itself is famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th Century "Bridge House" - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Grasmere and the Langdale Valley are just a short drive away and there is plenty to do here. With cruises, boat trips and water-sports on Lake Windermere itself as well as numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village, visitors will be spoiled for choice. At Waterhead lakeside there is a short stretch of beach for sunbathing, or paddling, whilst in the opposite direction, along a short woodland walk, is the beautiful waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force.
