Location Leave Ambleside on the A593 heading towards Coniston, turning left over the River Brathay onto the B5286 signposted for Hawkshead. After approximately 0.9 miles the driveway is found on the left hand side of the road, immediately after the junction sign posted for the Drunken Duck Inn. Turn left and through the stone pillars, past the Pull Woods Bay lodge at the entrance, and continue along the road taking the third right hand turn into the driveway of Woodside and Dairy Cottage. There is a large area of gravelled parking provision directly in front of the property.
Description Woodside is one of those perfect properties which only rarely come to the market. Beautifully presented, this bright and welcoming home might quite simply be your dream weekend retreat away from the stresses of the modern world, a truly wonderful permanent family home (with home office potential in the large garage) or an idyllic and exceptional holiday let. Central Ambleside is just a couple of miles away (also accessible on a new footpath/cycle track) whilst the ever popular Drunken Duck Inn is just a mile down the lane and The Outgate Inn is no more than a delightful stroll away. It is however the beauty and tranquillity of the setting, alongside the facilities on offer of course, which really capture both the imagination and the heart. The cottage itself is quietly nestled close to the western shore of lake Windermere and enjoys lovely views over woodland and fields to the surrounding countryside. Although strictly speaking semi-detached, this attractive home very much "feels" detached and has been thoughtfully and creatively extended and updated in recent times. Whatever you do, do not discount Woodside thinking that you are only interested in detached properties - you will regret missing this rare opportunity.
The sunny accommodation includes a hallway, a wonderful dual aspect sitting room complete with a stylish wood burner and lovely views, a superb family kitchen, a large utility room and a cloak room all on the ground floor with three double bedrooms (one en-suite) and the luxury four piece house bathroom on the first floor. There is a large modern detached double garage which, perhaps with the addition of some insulation, could make the perfect home office, providing that much desired separation between home and work space. There is also an excellent and store perfect for bikes, paddleboards etc and pretty gardens.
This unique home is situated on the impressive Huyton Hill Estate on Pullwood Bay on Lake Windermere, where around 50 acres of protected ancient woodland is home to a wide variety of wildlife and through which peaceful cycle tracks and footpaths wind, linking to both Ambleside and Wray Castle. The fortunate owners of Woodside also enjoy the right to access and use the splendid shared jetty beside the impressive main Pullwood House making this the perfect property for those with an interest in sailing, canoeing, wild swimming, fishing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, wildlife (we were lucky enough to spot an otter here during our visit) or simply enjoying one of the best views going!. The scene across the lake is quite simply stunning, and truly has to be seen to be believed. The owners of Woodside also enjoy the right to store a single dinghy at the lake shore. Why not take this once in a lifetime opportunity to come and enjoy this unique experience, Woodside might just make your dreams come true.

Ideal Holiday Let Opportunity In the opinion of Lakelovers ()
"Woodside Cottage is a well presented property in and excellent location which is popular with visitors throughout the year. Presented with three bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room and a separate family bathroom, this property will be attractive to families and couples all year round and we anticipate that it would achieve higher than average occupancy and when presented and market correctly could achieve a gross income of £40-45,000 per year"
