Set on an elevated stretch of Lower Gale, this two-bedroom maisonette delivers sweeping westerly views across the Fairfield Horseshoe, Loughrigg and Black Fell. The flat occupies generous, high‑ceilinged rooms in a traditional Victorian stone building and has been recently modernised, with a new kitchen and bathrooms creating a comfortable, move‑in ready home.
Designed with retirement living in mind, the layout includes two double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one ensuite), a large bay‑front living/dining room and a sunny terrace to the front. Practical details include UPVC double glazing, modern fitted appliances, and a long lease (original 999 years, c.936 years remaining). An annual service charge of £90 helps cover shared maintenance and buildings insurance.

Heating is by electric storage heaters and external stone walls are believed to be uninsulated, which may affect running costs and could invite further improvement works to increase efficiency.
For those seeking a low‑maintenance permanent residence or a peaceful weekend retreat in the Lake District National Park, this apartment offers strong appeal — attractive period character, recent refurbishment, and outstanding fell views from a convenient Ambleside location.
