Location Amboseli Lodge is situated in the very heart of the Ambleside with all shops and amenities close at hand, and the local park just yards away. From Waterhead, proceed north on Lake Road passing Hayes Garden World; turn left into Wansfell Road and take the right hand lane, at the junction at the bottom of the hill turn right onto the one-way system into Rothay Road and Amboseli Lodge can be found a short way along on the right hand side. There are four private car parking spaces at the rear of the property accessed via Knott Street.
Description Splendidly placed close to the very heart of the village, this attractive home enjoys almost immediate access to a whole host of excellent amenities, from local independent shops and national chain retailers, highly regarded restaurants, cafes, traditional Inns and even cinema screens right through to some of the most magnificent walking country in the region, not to mention the shores of lake Windermere and numerous pretty waterfalls - all accessible on foot from the doorstep.
Bright and spacious, the sunny, west facing accommodation looks out over the village park and the attractive Parish Church to Nab Scar beyond with views which sweep around Loughrigg to Todd Crag whilst at the rear, lovely views of Wansfell are enjoyed.
Entered via a hallway, the ground floor accommodation includes a superb dual aspect bay fronted living room with a counter-balancing separate dining room or guests breakfast room with a second bay window. There is also a fitted breakfast kitchen, a utility room, a large and delightful conservatory, a double bedroom and the house bathroom all on this level. The first floor offers three further double bedrooms all with proper en-suite bathrooms. With gardens front and rear and four car parking spaces at the rear, Amboseli Lodge, which has traded as a highly rated, welcoming and stylish small bed and breakfast for a number of years, has everything. The owners accommodation is delightfully independent of the guests accommodation in the present layout, offering excellent levels of both privacy and comfort. Come and see for yourself.
