Offering cosy accommodation for up to four guests, this traditional Grade II-listed cottage has been sympathetically updated to make an ideal retreat for walkers, hikers, and nature lovers eager to enjoy a breathtaking part of the Lake District. Dating back to the 17th century, the property sits along Peggy Hill at the top of Ambleside, within easy reach of the Armitt Museum, The Bridge House, and Zeffirelli's Cinema. The town is also home to the site of an ancient Roman fort, Stock Ghyll Force, and Borrans Park, which lies at the northern edge of Windermere. Walkers can head to spellbinding locations including Troutbeck Tongue, Cathedral Cavern, and Tarn Hows (all within 8 miles), with other local landmarks including Wray Castle, Holehird Gardens, and Brockhole on Windermere (all within 5 miles).

Entering this sweet and cosy retreat, you will be greeted by the fresh, spacious, and inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which offers a warm welcome and makes an ideal space for you all to unwind in. The pretty lounge is full of charm, with an array of traditional wooden beams and whitewashed stone walls, alongside comfortable soft seating, a wood burner, and a Smart TV. A cheerful dining table is perfect for enjoying family meals, which you can rustle up in the sleek and stylishly arranged kitchen. From the back of the lounge, stairs lead up to a light-filled mezzanine level, which makes a bright and airy laundry area. The stairs continue up to the first floor, where you will find an elegantly tiled family bathroom and the two cosy bedrooms: a cheerful double with plenty of storage space, and a charming twin with exposed timber beams.

Heading outside, a few steps lead down into a small and tranquil rear garden, enclosed by traditional stone walls and featuring a sweet rockery and outdoor furniture, offering a lovely spot for a morning coffee or for dining alfresco. Parking is on-street and subject to availability, with parking permits provided for long stays.
