Leave Ambleside village centre on the A593 signposted towards Coniston taking the left hand turn signposted for Hawkshead crossing the River Brathay on the B5286 at Clappersgate. Follow this road south for 2 to 3 miles and the village of Hawkshead comes into view. Just as the road bears sharply left before the main body of the village, continue straight ahead onto the original main street (this involves turning right, off the main thoroughfare). The Old Police Station is then found immediately on the left hand side with private parking for The Judges Lodging at the rear. Main Street is no longer the main thoroughfare through the village.

Description Located in the centre of the beautiful village of Hawkshead this distinctive and attractive building could hardly be better placed for a relaxing weekend retreat, a highly successful holiday let or indeed a welcoming permanent home. Converted in 2000 from the original Police Station and Magistrates Court The Judges Lodging is a wonderful three storey home, packed with character and includes a spacious fitted family kitchen, delightful living room with fell views, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cloak room and private car parking.
The property enjoys a wide variety of lovely country walks accessible from the doorstep and a special selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and lovely old traditional Lakeland inns are just a short stroll away, so everything you may require is on hand and within easy reach.
The bright accommodation is arranged over three storeys and is entered via a hallway which gives access to a spacious and well equipped family kitchen with shuttered windows and which in turn gives access to an inner hall / utility area with a cloak room beyond all on the ground floor. On the first floor is the elegant living room alongside the smaller of the two bedrooms and a modern shower room. The superb primary bedroom is found on the second floor above, complete with a delightfully stylish en suite bathroom. The original impressive vaulted timber roof trusses and exposed stone gable wall are distinctive features on this level, lending a great deal of charm and character. There is a useful store room (perfect for locking away personal belongings for those looking at holiday letting) plus a mezzanine storage area above. There is a very useful private car parking space to the rear of the building with little or no garden maintenance issues to impact on either your time or your pocket.
The property is a highly successful holiday let with Heart of the Lakes () and is highly recommended for early viewing.
