Description Beautifully appointed and wonderfully improved, this delightful stone built 3 bedroomed terraced home enjoys superb views to Wansfell in a very popular and peaceful setting. The immaculate accommodation includes an enclosed porch, hall, a bright south facing living room, a fitted family kitchen, utility, cloak room, 3 bedrooms plus an attic room and pretty gardens, but that does not even begin to paint the picture.
Full of character, this delightful terrace was once all one and saw service back in the early 20th Century as an orphanage, run by the quaintly named Church of England Waifs and Strays Society, and continued in such use right up until around 1950 when this impressive home was then sub-divided into the pretty little row of cottages seen today. Progress did not stop there however, far from it, although this tastefully modernised home has lost none of its charm and appeal.
Entered via the middle level, the enclosed porch leads you into the hallway with the living room straight ahead of you. Instantly your eyes are drawn through the large picture window and glazed door (with a screen beyond) to majestic Wansfell. Indeed, Wansfell is just one of many summits which might be ascended quite literally from the doorstep, although rather than strike out for any of the array of high fells which form a stunning backdrop for beautiful Ambleside, some might prefer a more leisurely stroll down into the village itself where a host of highly regarded Lakeland Inns, restaurants, shops, parks, a school and a variety of cinema screens await. There is also a bedroom at this entry level, which might be considered the perfect home office for those lucky enough to be able to live and work in such wonderful surroundings.
Downstairs, at ground level at the rear, is the utility room, a cloak room, and of course the superbly equipped family kitchen (giving access to the garden) . The first floor includes two further double bedrooms (again with views) and the stylish modern 4 piece bathroom. A fixed Scandinavian style alternate-tread ladder gives access to the splendid attic room, which again offers home office use potential although it is clear that this room has seen service as a bedroom in the past (albeit perhaps without full compliance with building regulations).
The south facing rear garden is another delight - the perfect spot in which to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of this wonderful setting.
The original Occupancy Condition stated that the property must be the permanent home of someone who, for three years immediately preceding taking up occupation has had their principle home or place of work within The Lake District National Park. We understand that it is now the view of the Customer and Commercial Services department at SLDC, and their legal advisor, that the property may be purchased by anyone who can provide evidence of living and working within the County of Cumbria for three years prior to purchase. We further understand that an exception policy may also apply for those with certain local connections or specific requirements. Further information may be obtained from our Ambleside office and interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with SLDC with regards their own qualification.
