Fairfield, Reed Bottoms, Rothay Road, Ambleside, LA22 0RB

Description Tucked away on a quiet side street in the heart of the picturesque village of Ambleside, Fairfield offers a wonderful opportunity to own a two-bedroom detached bungalow in one of the most sought-after areas of the Lake District. Renowned for its beautiful Lakeland walks, spectacular fell scenery and excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, Ambleside provides an enviable setting for enjoying the very best of Lake District living.

Steps lead up to the part-glazed front door, opening into the entrance hall. Wood-effect flooring runs throughout the property, providing a practical and attractive finish. The shower room is positioned immediately to the right and features an Aqualisa shower, WC, wash hand basin with mirror and light above, tiled splashback and a large double-doored storage cupboard with shelving, which also houses the Worcester boiler. An obscure-glazed front window with roller blind allows natural light into the room while maintaining privacy.

Bedroom One is a good sized double bedroom with a rear-facing window and benefits from built-in wardrobes, chest of drawers and bedside tables. Bedroom Two is also a double room, with built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers, together with a front-facing window which makes the room particularly light and airy.

The hallway provides further useful storage with a large cupboard, together with access to the loft, before leading through to the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. This is undoubtedly the principal feature of the property. A generous triple-aspect room, it is flooded with natural light and enjoys wonderful views towards Loughrigg and Wansfell. The living area features an electric fire with attractive wooden mantle and surround, set upon a granite hearth, while there is ample room for a dining table and chairs, making this an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The well-appointed kitchen offers a good range of wall and base units with wood-effect laminate worktops. Integrated appliances include a Neue four-ring gas hob and oven with extractor hood above, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. There is also a composite sink with moulded drainer and mixer tap. A breakfast bar provides the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee whilst taking in the superb fell views.

A door from the kitchen leads down to the outside space, which wraps around the property and provides a variety of areas from which to enjoy the Lakeland surroundings. To one side is a private patio with a charming glazed wooden summer house. Set above the patio (and accessed from the rear of the property) is an elevated area of lawn that enjoys spectacular panoramic views to Wansfell, Fairfield Horseshoe and Loughrigg.

To the other side of the property, further steps lead down to another lawned area surrounded by established shrubs, together with a further patio. A pathway continues around to the front of the property, creating a pleasant flow between the various outdoor spaces.

The property also benefits from a good-sized garage with an electronic opening door, sink with cupboards beneath and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A further side door provides convenient external access. There is tandem parking in front of the garage for several vehicles, a particularly valuable feature given the highly sought after location.

With its peaceful yet central setting, generous open-plan living accommodation, two double bedrooms, attractive wraparound outdoor space, garage and parking, Fairfield presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy life in one of the Lake District's most desirable villages. The combination of beautiful fell views, practical accommodation and easy access to all that Ambleside has to offer makes this a property with considerable appeal.
