Description With wonderful views, a superb plot which offers privacy and tranquillity in equal measure, not to mention the potential to further extend if desired, this superbly placed 3 or 4 bedroomed detached bungalow will make the dream holiday retreat or family home with plenty of space in which to create a home office if desired.
Sitting quietly in a short cul de sac just a short stroll from central Ambleside and yet enjoying a true feeling of being quietly tucked away from it all, this bright bungalow includes a hall, living room, kitchen, utility/cloaks room, three or four bedrooms (depending on needs) bathroom, garage, stores and lovely south facing gardens.
As settings go, it is hard to beat one which offers convenience combined with privacy, peace and quiet. Even harder to find one which offers such truly delightful views such as those enjoyed from this sunny and spacious detached bungalow.
Sweden Park is an idyllic little cul de sac located just a short stroll from central Ambleside where a variety of local independent and nationally recognised shops sit side by side with traditional Inns and highly regarded restaurants whilst cinema screens rub shoulders with unique cafe's and parks. You can almost as easily stroll from the door and walk many of the beautiful fells which you might have just been admiring from any of the picture windows- whether that be east to Wansfell or west to Loughrigg. You can even glimpse the sparkling waters of Lake Windermere to the south, although St Anne's Chapel and the Parish Church also contribute to a delightful village scene in the foreground.
The bungalow itself would now stand a little updating, but offers exceptional and highly adaptable accommodation throughout, and those who might be seeking that elusive solution to the now familiar working from home conundrum - how to successfully separate the "home" and "office" elements adequately without one impinging on the other, might find the answer right here.
The bright accommodation is entered via an enclosed porch and includes a large, dual aspect L-shaped living room with splendid views, which leads to an internal hall. The kitchen is supplemented by a utility/cloak room and to the original three double bedrooms has been added a fourth in an extension accessed via one of those original three, which would now make a perfect home office, dressing room or en-suite bathroom as it is located adjacent to the house bathroom. There is a large garage (which potentially could also convert to a home office if desired), two stores and an undercroft, plenty of car parking provision and of course delightfully private gardens. There is plenty of scope to further extend the accommodation if desired (subject to the necessary consents being obtained) and still leave plenty of garden for the growing family or for enjoying a relaxing retirement.
A superb opportunity whether you are seeking a family home, a quiet retirement bungalow or a peaceful weekend retreat - don't miss out.
Location From the centre of Ambleside head north towards Grasmere. At the first mini roundabout, take the sharp right hand turning up the hill onto Kirkstone Road and take the second left onto Sweden Bridge Lane. Sweden Park is situated a little further ahead on the right hand side, being a short, quiet cul de sac with number 5 quietly placed at the far end.
