Location From the centre of Ambleside proceed south along Lake Road and Wansfell Tower Court can be found at the junction of the one way system opposite the filling station where Lake Road meets Wansfell Road. The apartment benefits from a private car parking space at the rear of the building.
Description Wansfell Tower Court itself is an attractive and distinctive building originally constructed, we understand, as a Catholic Seminary in stone and slate with attractive stone mullion windows featuring amongst its many attributes.
This bright two storey apartment has been superbly and stylishly improved in recent times to offer exceptional accommodation throughout. Approached via a well presented communal staircase to the first floor, the accommodation includes a private hallway, a lovely sitting room with an eye catching high vaulted ceiling, a well equipped and spacious family kitchen and three well proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying their own luxury en-suite facilities. The majority of the rooms enjoy delightful fell views over the neighbouring rooftops and there is a private allocated car parking space close to the main entrance door.
Very conveniently placed at the southern end of Ambleside and just a short stroll from the many and varied amenities on offer at the centre of the village, including shops, traditional Lakeland Inns, restaurants and a surprisingly impressive choice of cinema screens. Wansfell Loft is also just a short stroll from the shore of Lake Windermere and the passenger ferry jetty at Waterhead, whilst for the more adventurous, the Fairfield Horseshoe is just one of many high fell walks also accessible on foot quite literally from the doorstep.
Ideal as a holiday let, permanent home (with home office potential), weekend retreat or long term let, Wansfell Loft is highly recommended for early viewing.
