Description
With central Ambleside just a short stroll away, boasting panoramic fell views and a pretty private well stocked garden, it really is quite gorgeous. As you might have guessed, we cannot recommend viewing this unique home highly enough.
Location Ambleside itself is a bustling market town, the very hub of The Lake District National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site, which attracts many tourists every year. The region boasts a steady and virtually all year round tourist industry, which no doubt contributes to making this popular little market town the thriving hub which it is today. Herdwyck Cottage is set amongst some of the most dramatic scenery in the English Lake District. Close the door and stroll to the village centre and the array of cafes, shop, restaurants and bars Ambleside has on offer.
Property Overview This charming stone built featureful cottage enjoys a delightfully quiet location.
Once through the semi open covered porch you find yourself in the light and airy dual aspect dining kitchen, where there is ample space to both cook and dine and with the added benefit of underfloor heating. Having country style wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating an integrated sink and a half drainer unit, Belling farmhouse range cooker (with electric induction plates and electric ovens), with extractor over, undercounter Bosch fridge and plumbing provision for an automatic washing machine.There are two floor to ceiling deep cupboards providing excellent extra storage.
The cosy welcoming sitting room is dual aspect with garden views, and is surely the heart of this home - simply perfect for gathering and relaxing with friends and family, having a double door wood burning stove set upon a slate hearth with timber surround and mantel. The inner hallway (with a further external door) leads to the games room/snug with its characterful beamed ceiling and large storage cupboard. This could also be beneficially utilised as a fourth bedroom if desired, with the advantage of the proximity of the shower room on this floor. The provision of a ground floor bedroom is increasingly popular, offering flexibility of single level living perhaps for an elderly relative, or teenager.
Upstairs, with views even from the landing, are three double bedrooms. The main bedroom suite has a dual aspect sleeping area with beautiful fell views and a wash basin tucked away in the corner whilst a couple of steps down lead to the ensuite with corner bath, shower and WC. Just beyond is a dressing area with external door to a sheltered balcony area, making the most of the surrounding stunning views. The other double room on this floor is dual aspect, and currently utilised as a twin it enjoys both garden and fell views. The third bedroom is a single and benefits from an integrated wardrobe. The house bathroom has tiled walls and a three piece suite comprising a panel bath, wash basin set within a vanity style unit and WC.
Outside there is parking on the private gravel driveway, an electric car charging point, and a sweet easily maintained garden with fell views along with a peaceful patio area. Herdwyck Cottage is a perfect haven away from the stresses of modern life - come and see for yourself.
