Fellcroft, North Road, Ambleside, Cumbria LA22 9DT

Description Conveniently placed just a moments stroll from the centre of the village, this delightful 1 bedroomed, 3 storey end of terrace stone built cottage is currently a successful holiday let but would equally be suited as an ideal weekend retreat or family home.

Quietly tucked away from all the tourist traffic, this lovely home has benefitted from recent updating but has retained plenty of character and includes a family kitchen, a dual aspect sitting room, luxury bedroom and a shower room - a lovely comfortable home with plenty of charm. 

Location Located in the old part of Ambleside, enjoying a winning combination of welcoming stylish accommodation and close proximity to central Ambleside which offers an exceptional array of highly regarded restaurants, cafes, shops and traditional Lakeland inns, not to mention a surprising selection of cinema screens. You can hike any of the surrounding fells, amble down to the lake shore or wander alongside pretty waterfalls. 

Property Overview This characterful Lakeland end terraced cottage is perfectly placed, and over recent years has been significantly refurbished whilst yet still retaining traditional elements. The accommodation is spread over three storeys and comprises an entrance porch, welcoming breakfast kitchen, cosy sitting room, and luxury bedroom with footed slipper bath as well as a separate shower room - this cottage is truly special and full of love.

The entrance porch has ample space for dealing with wet coats and boots and leads directly into the dual aspect breakfast kitchen. Bursting with character having slate floor, exposed timber beam, lintel and charming handmade oak units with complementary slate worktop incorporating a Twyfords Belfast style sink with antique brass mixer tap over. Cleverly tucked away in the understair space is plumbing provision for a washer/dryer, whilst in the kitchen there is an integrated extractor over the cooking area. This room has ample space to both cook and dine.

Stairs lead to the first floor where the landing has an external door which opens onto the stone steps just off North Road.

The dual aspect sitting room is light and welcoming with exposed timber lintel framing the picture window and fell views beyond. Simply perfect for relaxing whether in front of the cosy Charnwood wood burning stove set within an exposed stone fireplace, or perhaps from the window seat whilst looking out watching the world go by. The shower room is also on this middle floor, with a three piece suite comprising a powerful rainfall shower, wash hand basin set above a vanity style unit, and WC. Additionally there is a heated ladder style towel rail/ radiator.

Stairs lead to the rather special double bedroom which features a window seat from which to enjoy the stunning views, exposed timber beam, and footed roll top bath. A built-in cupboard provides clothes hanging space and excellent further storage.

You can step from the door and literally within seconds be in the heart of the village, Fellcroft is truly lovely, superbly combining convenience with style it is highly recommended for viewing.
