2 bedroom ground floor flat for sale

Description Welcome to 5 Oaklands; a charming 2 bedroom ground floor apartment nestled within Millans Park, in a fantastic location in central Ambleside, and with its own allocated parking space. Easily accessible through the tidy communal entrance hall, the apartment comprises 2 bedrooms, family bathroom, a sizeable lounge and a practical kitchen, as well as a spacious storage room and handy utility. Tucked away in the heart of the bustling Lake District village, 5 Oaklands has the potential to become the perfect weekend retreat, a lucrative holiday let, or your forever home in the National Park.

Entering into the apartment you will find a large store room by the front door, providing plenty of space to store mountain bikes, walking boots and poles, or even potential for a small home office! Following the hallway through the property you will reach the cozy dual-aspect lounge, the perfect space to unwind with a hot drink after a day of fell walking, or to entertain family and friends, with plenty of space for a dining suite right by the kitchen door.

The part-tiled kitchen is fitted with bright, cottage-style wall and base units, with laminate worktops and ample cupboard space. Practical appliances include an integrated Bosch oven with 4 ring electric hob and cooker hood over, and an inset stainless steel sink with mixer tap. With more space to house a fridge freezer, this little kitchen will soon become the bustling hub of the apartment.

Bedroom 1 is a lovely and light double room, enjoying a spacious built-in wardrobe. Further down the corridor, the second bedroom is currently used as a twin room, with space to become another double room should you wish.

The modern family bathroom has tiled walls and floor, and features a "P" shaped bath with Mira shower over, and a glass shower screen, and also comprises a pedestal wash hand basin, WC, extractor fan and heated towel rail; perfect to warm up after a day out in the unpredictable Cumbrian weather!

A handy utility cupboard can be found at the end of the hallway, and currently houses the gas central heating boiler, with plumbing for a washing machine and additional shelving.

Deceptively spacious, and with an uncommonly good amount of storage for an apartment, 5 Oaklands provides a fantastic opportunity; definitely not one to overlook!
