Summary - Rosehill, Lake Road LA22 0DF
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
West-facing plot with large garage and far-reaching fell views.
Stone-built semi with four double bedrooms
Built circa 1929, this stone‑built semi offers a rare mix of original character and recent modernisation. The house has four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms arranged over two main floors, plus a versatile ground‑floor study/bedroom. Large bi‑fold doors, high ceilings and original features create a bright, comfortable living space with far-reaching west‑facing views across local fells.
Recent upgrades include a full rewire, new boiler, pressurised hot‑water cylinder and double glazing, making the property largely move‑in ready. Outside there is a large private garden, terraced patio, substantial detached double garage, workshop and useful external stores. The plot is set back from Lake Road with a gated drive and space for several cars.
There is scope to adapt the outbuildings: an annexe conversion is mentioned as a possibility but any separate accommodation would require confirmed planning permission. Buyers should note the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the property, while newly renovated internally, will benefit from any further energy‑efficiency improvements. Council tax is band F and therefore relatively expensive.
Rosehill suits families seeking space and character close to central Ambleside, buyers wanting a weekend retreat, or investors targeting holiday‑let income. Its elevated, well‑screened plot, excellent mobile signal and easy access to walks from the doorstep are strong location benefits; any purchaser should allow for potential improvement work to walls/insulation and factor in planning checks for annexe development.
