Location Following the one way system into Ambleside from the south up Compston Street take the first right hand turn into The Slack which is opposite Zeffirellis Cinema and the second right again on St Mary's Lane. The turning into the courtyard in front of Croft Cottage is then on the left hand side with private car parking immediately in front of the cottage.
Description Attractively finished in traditional Lakeland stone with a slate roof this charming detached home could hardly be more centrally positioned in the very heart of Ambleside and yet it enjoys a surprisingly quiet setting in a small courtyard tucked peacefully away from the bustle of the main streets. Despite its traditional appearance, blending in splendidly with the surrounding stone built properties, Croft Cottage is actually of more recent origin and successfully combines a traditional feel with the more economic running costs of a modern home.
Despite its peaceful location, all which beautiful Ambleside has to offer may found virtually right on the doorstep. A variety of local independent and nationally recognised shops, cinemas, traditional Lakeland inns and restaurants are all immediately on hand. Windermere lake shore is just down the road at Waterhead and the extensive range of high fells which form the backdrop for the village are also accessible on foot from the doorstep for the more adventurous and energetic. Simply perfect whether you are seeking a superb holiday let, a peaceful lock up and leave weekend retreat or a permanent home in the heart of the National Park.
The accommodation includes a covered porch, a useful combined utility/cloak room, a splendid dual aspect living room, a fitted breakfast kitchen, two double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities and invaluable private car parking. There are no real gardening worries to distract you from enjoying precious time here, or to eat into valuable holiday letting income, but you do a have spot in which to sit out and relax after a day on the fells or a week at work - the perfect balance. Why not come and see for yourself?
