4 Bed in Ambleside (oc-lr082)

Perched at the top of a hill in a historic area of Ambleside, this charming terraced cottage is perfectly configured for families, and would also suit a group of friends looking for a Lakeland escape. Just a few hundred metres away, the centre of town is brimming with interesting shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. For a quirky photograph, don't miss the tiny Bridge House, a 17th century property built over Stock Beck. For the adventurous, there are a large selection of outdoor activities available in the immediate area, from hiking and climbing to wild swimming and water sports. The walking is, of course, superb, whether you want a wander around Lake Windermere (1 mile), or head further into the fells. From Ambleside's Waterhead Pier you can cruise the lake, while within 1.5 miles you can reach Stagshaw Gardens, Ambleside Roman Fort and the Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.

Full of character, the cottage is traditionally furnished for a real taste of Lakeland life. A small, covered entrance porch leads into the hallway, with the lounge off to the right. An open fire is the heart of this room, surrounded by comfortable seating and with a Smart TV for streaming your favourite shows. To the left of the hallway is a spacious kitchen/diner, with oak cabinets wrapped in granite surfaces and equipped with a good range of appliances, including a microwave. A dining table sits at far end of this room, by the window looking down towards Smithy Brow – a great place to enjoy a family brunch or evening meal together. There is direct access to the garage from the kitchen (one step up). A handy utility, with laundry facilities, completes the ground floor. A curved staircase leads to the first floor, where you'll find a choice of four spacious bedrooms, all with ample storage: a double, a twin and two singles. They share a bathroom with a bath and separate shower – ideal for those who love long soaks or quick rinses. There's a separate WC adjacent.

For fresh air and sunshine, perhaps with a morning coffee or a sundowner, there's a small patio at the back of the cottage, shared by three properties and reached via a few steps. As for parking, there is room in the garage for one small car (alternatively, this is a useful space for storing bikes and other outdoor gear), or directly outside on the street (subject to availability).
