Tucked down a shared lane in the Waterhead area of Ambleside, this three-bedroom link-detached home offers peaceful woodland edges and is only about 350 metres from Lake Windermere. Built in 1995 and finished in a modern, neutral style, the house combines comfortable living spaces with a substantial garden that offers scope for enhancement or modest extension (subject to planning and local occupancy rules).
The ground floor has a bright open-plan breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances and a useful cloakroom, plus a comfortable living room with a log burner and bay window overlooking the garden. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, the master with an ensuite shower, and a modern family bathroom; room sizes are practical for downsizing buyers wanting light, accessible accommodation.
Practical positives include an attached garage with power and plumbing for a washing machine, off-street parking for multiple cars, and good mobile signal for most networks. The house is freehold, offered chain-free and lies within the Lake District National Park — ideal for buyers seeking easy access to Ambleside’s shops, cafés and walking routes.
Important constraints: a local occupancy condition applies to the property and will restrict some buyers; council tax is in Band E (above average); broadband is listed on the Openreach network as superfast available, but local speeds have been recorded as slow. These factors should be confirmed by prospective purchasers prior to offer.
