    “Orchard House has a lovely traditional Lakeland feel.”

    Super big kitchen and sitting areas, bathrooms and bedrooms, all large and airy. The garden has some beautiful big trees and an amazing meadow with stunning views across Ambleside. The walk back up to the house from Ambleside is quite steep. But without it you would not get the views from the house and grounds which make this property so amazing! There is a beautiful circular walk virtually from the door which would make lovely evening strolls possible.

The property

Orchard House enjoys a particularly fine location right on the edge of the village at the end of a quiet lane and provides a light, spacious and high quality retreat in any season. The detached property is one of two built in the divided grounds of a former Lakeland residence - there is no passing traffic and yet you are handy for all the village facilities. There are numerous walks from the door including over Wansfell to Troutbeck, Loughrigg Fell, Rydal Mount and the Coffin route to Grasmere, and the lovely paths to Low and High Sweden Bridges and beyond onto Low Pike and the Fairfield Horseshoe or Red Screes. Ambleside centre is within walking distance for all your local shopping plus a host of eating places to suit every taste and pocket. Orchard House is set in almost three acres of grounds on various levels with woodland and a stream, which attracts a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Paths lead to a higher-level private meadow from where you can enjoy exceptional views over Ambleside to Lake Windermere and the fells beyond. >> Take 360 Tour here << Accommodation: Built to take advantage of the fine views with the main living accommodation upstairs the interior has been carefully planned with every thought for your holiday comfort.

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.
