Description Enjoying a quiet cul de sac location yet just a short walk from the centre of Ambleside, this 3 bedroomed detached home has private driveway parking plus a garage/workshop - a rarity in the village. The property would now stand some updating but includes bright accommodation with an entrance porch, lounge with views, kitchen, 3 double bedrooms, bathroom, garage/ workshop and gardens.

Whether you are seeking a permanent home, a peaceful weekend retreat or a splendid holiday let, Finchfield could be the perfect answer - particularly for those who perhaps have half an eye on retiring to this wonderful part of the world.

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 delightful views such as those enjoyed from this sunny and spacious detached house.

Sweden Bridge Lane is located just a short stroll from central Ambleside where shops sit side by side with traditional inns and highly regarded restaurants. You can stroll from the door and walk many of the beautiful surrounding fells.

Whilst it could now stand some updating, Finchfield offers exceptional and highly adaptable accommodation throughout.

The bright accommodation is entered via an Entrance hall and includes a good sized double bedroom, and internal access to the garage/workshop. On the first floor a hallway with external door to the rear patio, leads to a dual aspect lounge with two picture windows giving splendid views, two further bedrooms (one being currently utilised as a study) and a kitchen which has space to dine as well as cook, and benefits from an external glazed door to the rear. In addition there is a 3 piece bathroom (though blue may not be to everyone's modern tastes). Undercroft garage with workshop area housing the gas boiler and plenty of car parking provision and garden space to the front and rear.

A superb opportunity to improve to your own specification, whether you are seeking a family home, a quiet retirement home or a peaceful weekend retreat - don't miss out.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on June 19, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 19, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on June 11, 2023 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
