The property
Situated in a quiet residential area above Ambleside, this modern 'upside-down' terraced property commands superb panoramic views over the village below across to Loughrigg, the mountains beyond and, to the north, the entire Fairfield Horseshoe.

There are walks in the immediate vicinity without using your car with all the surrounding fells easily accessible on foot, including Fairfield, Wansfell and Loughrigg. For those wishing to tour the area, you will find Ambleside well-placed for visits to all parts of the Lake District and with Lake Windermere only a ten minute stroll away you can enjoy cruises or boat hire on England's largest lake.

About the location
AMBLESIDE
Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
