The living room has a sunny aspect with large picture window where the ever changing scenery can be watched from the comfort of the sofa, whatever the weather. The kitchen offers everything you require should you want to cook and has a picture mirror reflecting the outside view into the kitchen area. A large oak dining table and matching cabinet complements the dining area which in turn leads to the patio doors and a glass fronted balcony, with seating, enabling you to be part of the landscape in comfort. Both bedrooms enjoy views of Wansfell and have wardrobes and bedside cabinets.
Halfway up a hill, it is still within easy walking distance of all the local shops, bars and restaurants that bustling Ambleside has to offer. The Waterhead Pier to catch a boat on Lake Windermere is less than a mile away, with local parks providing a place to gather or rest or as a starting point for countless walks close by to the lakeside. Not often do you find a property with such quality facilities, a large communal garden with a designated BBQ area, spectacular scenery and off road parking so close to the centre of the village.

Summary: Great views over Ambleside & beyond - we were lucky to see it under a cloud inversion with blue skies above. Also views down to the garden with lots of birds around. Recently done & well equipped kitchen & bathroom. Clear to see that the owners furnish & equip it to a high standard.Worth noting that apartment is on 2nd floor with no lift but not a problem for us. There didn’t seem to be any other residents in the rest of the block most of the time we were there which just enhanced the peace & quiet. Loved our stay here.
