Set in a quiet side lane a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Ambleside, this gorgeous, homely cottage provides a fantastic base for a relaxing Lakeland getaway with family and friends. Ambleside is a playground for walking routes in the Lake District, a great place to soak up the unique character and pace of this lively, Lakeland community. The village is well stocked with a fabulous selection of shops and restaurants, and Waterhead Pier is just under a mile away on the shores of the iconic Lake Windermere, where you can enjoy scenic boat trips, waterside walks, or take in the breathtaking views. The small, authentic village of Rydal, 2.5 miles away, is home to the tranquil Rydal Water and the enchanting Rydal caves on the side of Loughrigg Fell. The village of Grasmere is located 4 miles from the property with much to offer like the Gingerbread Shop or Dove Cottage.
From the quaint front garden, step into the entrance hall and follow the slate flooring into the light and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Homely and cosy to the core, the peaceful lounge space enjoys the welcome warmth of a roaring open fire, perfect for warming chilly toes at the end of a busy day's adventure. At the rear of the space, the contemporary granite fitted kitchen/diner is equipped with everything you need to get creative with your local produce. Up on the first floor, you'll find two stylish bedrooms: an en-suite double bedroom and a pretty single bedroom, both brimming with homely touches that set the scene for pure relaxation. You'll also find a contemporary family bathroom on this level. Steep stairs lead to the attic and second floor, where you'll find a delightful king-size bedroom with a gorgeous dormer window and exposed beams (some limited head height in this bedroom).
Soak up your wonderfully peaceful setting by enjoying a spot of al fresco dining in the pretty enclosed, secluded courtyard with outdoor dining furniture and space to store bikes or other outdoor equipment
