2 Bed in Ambleside (oc-lr217)

This cosy cottage within the prestigious Pullwood Bay Estate is ideal for couples or a small family looking for a tranquil base from which to undertake adventures in the Lake District. The property is perfectly placed to access a wealth of attractions, including the popular town of Ambleside, 3 miles away, which offers galleries, shops and several fine-dining options. Ambleside Pier offers scenic boat trips around Windermere, allowing you to admire the fells from a different perspective. Hikers, cyclists and mountain bikers have plenty of choices to suit all abilities within 10 miles of the property. Rydal Cave, Tarn Hows and Latterbarrow are all popular local walks, and Grizedale Forest has plenty of tracks for biking, walking, and running, as well as seasonal events. For quieter days, The World of Beatrix Potter or a trip on the Haverthwaite Steam Railway are options both less than 10 miles away.


Access this homely two-storey property from the rear of the building, and you'll find yourself in a gorgeous traditional farmhouse-style retreat. The hues are soft, reflecting the natural surroundings and bring a sense of calm. The decor is elegant, and thoughtful touches ensure a warm welcome. The first space you step into is a lovely social kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has all the appliances necessary to make meal preparation a breeze – whether for a hearty breakfast together or a special dinner during your stay. Head through to the family lounge room, with plenty of comfortable seating arranged in front of the wood burner, set in a striking Inglenook. The lounge is the heart of the retreat and ideal for unwinding together over a board game or for planning the next day's activities. A hallway leads to the rear garden and has stairs to the first floor, where you'll find a sleek, contemporary bathroom. Drift off to sleep in the neat twin bedroom, which has built-in storage and a woodland outlook or in the spacious king-size with views over the garden.


Head outside to enjoy the rear garden, mostly laid to lawns and featuring a patio-style courtyard with furniture, ideal for an afternoon tea or evening drinks. There is a further lawned area to the front with ample furniture provided. The magnificent, shared grounds total over 51 acres, and you are free to explore on bike or foot. There are plenty of walks in the woodland areas, or head down to enjoy half a mile of private lake frontage (unfenced), perfect for picnics whilst admiring the glorious views of Windermere and the surrounding fell range. The shallow bay is safe for taking a quick dip, paddleboarding and perfect for more adventurous wild swimmers. Private parking is available for three cars.
