Summary - Oaks Farm Cottage, Oaks Field LA22 9EJ
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached

Characterful four-bedroom semi-detached cottage with original features
Ground-floor bedroom with en-suite, plus three double bedrooms upstairs
Beautiful gardens with patio and attractive fell views
Driveway parking for up to four vehicles
Currently a successful holiday let; chain free, freehold
Requires renovation and modernisation throughout
High flood risk at this location — specialist insurance likely needed
Solid granite walls likely uninsulated; energy and insulation work required
Set just outside Ambleside town centre, this characterful four-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends original features with flexible, family-friendly accommodation. The sitting room centres on an inglenook-style fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and a substantial kitchen-diner provides daily living space. A ground-floor bedroom with en-suite adds practical flexibility for multigenerational living or holiday guests. The property is chain free and offered freehold.
Outside, well-established gardens and a patio sit against delightful fell views, with driveway parking for up to four cars. The home currently trades successfully as a holiday let, so it suits a purchaser seeking continuing holiday income or a family wanting a rural retreat close to local amenities and Lake District walking country.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation and some updating throughout, including likely wall insulation improvements (traditional granite construction) and general modernisation. Flood risk in this location is recorded as high, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The EPC is D.
This cottage will particularly appeal to buyers who value period character and garden space and who are prepared to invest in sympathetic improvements. Its location, parking and flexible layout make it a strong choice as a forever home, weekend base or ongoing holiday-let investment, provided flood risk and renovation requirements are factored into plans.
