A wonderful getaway for larger families and groups of friends, this light-filled retreat sits in a tranquil spot at the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by breathtaking fells and magisterial countryside. The lively town of Ambleside has a choice of fantastic places to eat and drink, with an array of popular attractions and landmarks including the Armitt Museum, The Bridge House, Stock Ghyll Force and the site of the Ambleside Roman Fort. The edge of Windermere is just over half a mile away, with steamships taking you the length of the lake, with calling points at Wray Castle, Brockhole and Bowness. To the north are the smaller lakes of Grasmere and Rydal Water (both within 3.5 miles) or you can head south-west to Coniston Water and Esthwaite Water (both within 7 miles). Walkers can also explore Rydal Cave, Skelwith Force and Cathedral Cavern (all within 5.5 miles).

Accessed via a flight of external stairs, the opulent first-floor apartment features a spacious and sophisticated open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/snug, making an ideal space for family and friends to get together and unwind in comfort. The elegant main lounge is light-filled, with a traditional wood burner, ample seating, a Smart TV and dual aspect, full-height sliding windows. A stylish dining table provides a sociable central point, leading over towards a sleek, fully equipped and beautifully organised kitchen with a large island and ample work and storage space. To one side, a cheery snug has further seating and another Smart TV. The apartment also features a handy utility room, a fresh and invigorating bathroom and a choice of three beautiful bedrooms: a charming double with a Juliet balcony and en-suite shower room, and two cosy king-size rooms, one with an en-suite shower room. The tranquil ground-floor apartment provides a private space for a couple, with its own entrance leading into a cheery lounge with comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a welcoming wood burner. Heading through, the airy kitchen/diner has a charming dining table for two, perfect for a romantic meal which you can prepare in the fully equipped and thoughtfully presented kitchen. This apartment also has a colourful bedroom with a sumptuous king-size bed alongside an invigorating bathroom.

From the ground-floor apartment, patio doors lead out into a charming courtyard garden with peaceful seating for two. Meanwhile, the first-floor apartment opens out onto a lovely furnished balcony perfect for dining alfresco and taking in the far-reaching views towards the lake.
