Property details

Set in the Conservation area of Ambleside, two minutes walk from the centre of the village, this renovated ground-floor apartment makes a relaxed and stylish base for two. Designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, it’s a bright, welcoming space where every detail has been carefully considered.

The open-plan living area feels calm and contemporary, with soft tones, comfortable furnishings, and plenty of natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped for easy self-catering, and the lounge offers the perfect spot to curl up after a day on the fells. The bedroom has a luxurious king sized bed dressed in crisp linen, and the modern bathroom features a walk-in shower with a spa-like feel.

Outside, you’ll find a shared seating area (with the apartment upstairs) – ideal for slow mornings with coffee or an evening drink surrounded by fresh Lakeland air.

Everything Ambleside has to offer is just a short stroll away, from independent shops and cafés to cosy pubs and great restaurants. Lake Windermere is within walking distance too, and you can catch the ferry across to Bowness, Wray Castle and other lakeside favourites. With regular buses to Grasmere, Rydal and beyond, it’s easy to explore without the car.

Whether you’re here to walk, relax or simply enjoy a change of pace, this peaceful apartment brings you close to everything that makes the Lake District special.

Conveniently unload outside the property and pickup the car parking permit for one car for the nearby car park just a few minutes walk away.
