This extended four-bedroom detached house sits on a large plot backing directly onto Ambleside playing fields — a rare private outlook for the area. The layout includes two reception rooms (one easily used as a ground-floor bedroom), a breakfast kitchen with upgraded units, utility room, driveway and garage, making it practical for family life. The home benefits from gas central heating and double glazing but dates largely from the mid-20th century and will reward a buyer willing to modernise.
Upstairs provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate first-floor WC; one bedroom includes a shower and sink. Ground-floor accommodation features a family bathroom adjacent to a reception room that could serve as a convenient downstairs bedroom for multigenerational use. The property is offered chain free and provides a solid, traditional layout with scope to reconfigure or extend further, subject to necessary consents.
Key positives are the large secluded garden, off-street parking for two vehicles and garage, and a position within a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Nearby schools (including a Good and an Outstanding rated secondary) and local sports and leisure facilities make this well-suited to families.
Material drawbacks are that the house needs renovation and modernisation in places; fittings and finishes are mid-20th century and will require updating to reach contemporary standards. There is effectively one full bathroom plus a separate WC and an en-suite shower in one bedroom, which may be limiting for larger households. Buyers should allow budget for refurbishment works.
