Description This charming, modern terraced cottage is delightfully placed in an elevated position above Stockghyll in a quiet and popular cul-de-sac which offers that elusive combination of feeling both pleasantly away from it all yet conveniently close to a wide array of amenities in the village centre. Ambleside itself offers a superb variety of shops, a school, traditional Lakeland inns, highly regarded restaurants, cafes and cinemas and is considered by many to be the real hub of the Lake District National Park, located at the northern tip of Lake Windermere. The cul-de-sac itself has only foot traffic along its length (except for deliveries) and provides a real haven of tranquillity.

The accommodation is light and welcoming and benefits from double glazing and central heating. A stone and slate built open porch will protect you from the elements as you shed your coat and boots. The lounge has space to dine and a cleverly utilised understair area with plumbing for an automatic washing machine. The kitchen has tiled walls and floor, fitted wall and base units with integrated Bosch appliances including a ceramic 4 ring hob, set above a separate oven and grill. There is an external door here leading to the tiered garden and patio area at the rear. The first floor has three bedrooms, the smaller of the three currently in use as an occasional home office and a bathroom with three piece suite comprising a contemporary shaped bath with Aqualisa shower over, WC and wash basin.

There are a superb selection of walks accessible literally from the doorstep, for example down alongside the waterfalls of Stockghyll or for the more energetic on to nearby Wansfell, down to the lake shore or up onto the high fells of the Fairfield Horseshoe. The location is perfect whether you are seeking an easily managed lock-up-and-leave weekend retreat, a splendid holiday let or a permanent home. Demand is strong for cottages in this location so early viewing is recommended.

Holiday Letting Opportunity
In the opinion of Lakelovers (

"Located just a few minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside village, 5 Stockghyll Court is very well located to take full advantage of the strong year-round demand for holiday rentals. The property offers the purchasers the opportunity to create a very desirable holiday let that could quickly benefit from higher than average occupancy rates. Once correctly presented and priced we would anticipate a gross income of £30-35,000 could be achieved with the possibility to grow this further based on good reviews and repeat bookings."
