The well balanced 4 bedroomed, 2 bathroomed accommodation is supplemented by parking for up to 4 and with central Ambleside just a couple of minutes stroll away down quiet lanes, what more could you ask for?
This charming stone built featureful cottage is situated in the oldest part of Ambleside and enjoys a delightfully quiet location which is a short stroll from the very centre of Ambleside where an excellent variety of traditional Lakeland inns, cinemas, shops and highly regarded restaurants await.
Once through the semi open covered porch you find yourself in the cosy dual aspect breakfast kitchen. Bursting with character having exposed timber beams, there is ample space to both cook and dine. Having wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating an integrated sink and a half drainer unit, Neff gas hob and separate oven, and undercounter fridge. Additionally there is a dishwasher, and plumbing for an automatic washing machine. The hallway (with a useful under stair storage space) leads to the sitting room. The heart of the home and simply perfect for gathering and relaxing with friends and family, having a double door wood burning stove set upon a raised slate hearth within an inglenook style fireplace.
Also on this level is a dual aspect double bedroom (currently in use as a twin) with lovely high ceiling and exposed timber beam and enjoying views to the garden it also benefits from an ensuite bathroom.

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
