Woolly End Cottage, 15 Compston Street, Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22 9DP

Description This attractive end terraced cottage enjoys a winning combination of bright and welcoming accommodation in a quiet residential setting with proximity and accessibility not only to central Ambleside but the wonderful array of fell walks which surround it.

Conveniently placed just a moments stroll from the centre of the village, this delightful 3 bedroomed, 2 reception, 1 bathroomed 3 storey end of terrace stone built cottage is currently a successful holiday let but would equally be suited as an ideal weekend retreat or family home.

 

Location Located close to the centre of Ambleside which offers an exceptional array of highly regarded restaurants, cafes, shops and traditional Lakeland inns, not to mention a surprising selection of cinema screens. You can hike any of the surrounding fells, amble down to the lake shore or wander alongside pretty waterfalls.  

Property Overview Quietly tucked away from all the tourist traffic, this lovely home has lots of character. The entrance porch leads you into the welcoming cosy sitting room with Morso wood burning stove, with ample space to sit and relax with family and friends. The dual aspect dining room is wonderfully light offering plenty of opportunity for relaxation and dining, whilst stairs lead to the lower floor basement room which is currently employed as an excellent additional storage space.

The kitchen has tiled walls and is fitted with stylish wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and a half with drainer. Integrated Bosch appliances include a gas 4 ring hob set above an electric oven, a slimline dishwasher and there is plumbing provision for an automatic washing machine. An external door leads to the rear patio.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, one currently utilised as a twin, whilst on the second flooor is a further double room enjoying wonderful views of Wansfell. The bathroom includes a three piece suite comprising a panel bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and a WC. Additionally there is a heated ladder style towel rail/ radiator and a linen cupboard.

To the front is a gravel patio seating area, ideal for that morning coffee, or perhaps a glass of something cool at the end of the day whilst reflecting on that day's fell adventure, and to the rear is a useful outdoor store.
