Summary - 7 THE CROFT CLAPPERSGATE AMBLESIDE LA22 9LE
4 bed 1 bath Apartment
Spacious first-floor home with riverside gardens and designated parking.
South-facing views over Lake Windermere and Waterhead Bay
Set on the first floor of a restored Grade II listed Croft, this spacious four-bedroom apartment sits in a prominent position overlooking the River Brathay and offering south-facing views across Lake Windermere and Waterhead Bay. High ceilings, large arched windows and original cornicing give the principal living room a dramatic, light-filled feel while modern kitchen appliances and gas central heating provide everyday comfort. Shared grounds include riverside gardens, mooring points and around nine acres of communal woodland and lawns, with designated off-street parking and visitor spaces.
The apartment suits a main residence or a peaceful second home in the Lake District National Park. Accommodation includes a large living/dining room with open fire, separate kitchen/diner, four bedrooms (two doubles, two singles/snug), a bathroom plus separate WC, and access to a communal cellar for storage. Superfast broadband is available and the site benefits from excellent mobile signal outdoors.
Important practical points are clear: the building is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate permissions and finance. The property is leasehold (original 999-year term from 1981) with a current service charge of £4,199.36pa and a small ground rent of £26pa. Short-term holiday letting is prohibited, and the location carries a medium flood risk; prospective buyers should seek specialist advice on insurance and any listed-building obligations.
Overall this is a character-rich apartment with rare lakeside access and generous communal grounds — a calm, private base for family life or a long-stay retreat — but best suited to buyers comfortable with listed-building ownership, service charges and the single-bathroom layout.
