3 Bed in Ambleside (oc-lr091)

Less than 3 miles from both Ambleside and Hawkshead, this link-detached retreat offers high-quality accommodation for couples or family groups. Enjoy endless fell and countryside walks right from your door – Tarn Hows (3.5 miles) is bound to be a favourite, and is especially great for anyone with children and dogs. You can also walk to Wray Castle, which has magnificent grounds to explore and is only 1.5 miles away. From nearby Wray Castle Jetty, why not hop on a cruise around the beautiful waters of Lake Windermere? Afterwards, unwind in the popular pub that's only half a mile away, or head into Ambleside for a wider choice of cuisine and dining experiences. Here, there are also endless opportunities for more outdoor adventures, including climbing, canyoning, and kayaking, and you can stroll out of town for less than a mile to see the dramatic Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.


From the car park, take the 15 stone steps that lead up to the house (please be careful in wet weather) or drive up to the front door and enter through the side door into the utility/boot room. This useful space offers plenty of storage for all your outdoor equipment, including bikes. Beyond is a shower room, which is really handy if you're coming straight in from a wet walk and need to warm up. You'll also find the washing machine here, ready for those wet, muddy clothes. To the right, the bright kitchen has everything you'll need, including a microwave and a dishwasher, plus a breakfast area with a table and four chairs. Head through to the traditional dining room, which is big enough for everyone to spread out around the table and enjoy a sociable meal, or to set up a board game from the shelves. Next, the spacious lounge has comfortable seating and a wood burner for extra warmth on chilly evenings. There are books, board games, puzzles and planned walks. This inviting space boasts a slate window seat providing lovely views over the surrounding countryside and a Smart TV for streaming your favourite movies. Take the stairs to the split landing, and take a few steps further up to either the right or left, where you will find three tranquil bedrooms, all with ample storage, and a family bathroom.


Patio doors from the dining room lead onto the south-facing, tiered garden, which features a mix of terrace and lawn, with mature shrubs and bushes. The sunny terrace is furnished for al fresco dining and offers wonderful views over fields and hills towards Wansfell Pike. There's a small, gentle stream flowing along the bottom of the lawn (please supervise children and pets carefully). You'll have plenty of private parking space, with room for up to four cars – and even a day boat if you have one.
