Location From the centre of Ambleside head south onto Lake Road and at the edge of the village centre turn left onto Old Lake Road and then left again onto Low Gale. Continuing up Low Gale take the second turning on your left into High Gale. The property is a short distance along on the right hand side on this private road. There is also a pedestrian short cut from the cottage to the village centre.
Description Beautifully presented and with more than a touch of luxury to go alongside its traditional comforts, this bright and attractive stone built cottage is, to put it quite simply, perfectly placed. Away from the hustle and bustle of central Ambleside where a variety of shops, highly regarded restaurants, cafes and traditional Inns, not to mention cinema screens await, you can still leave the property on foot and within minutes be in the very heart of the village. Leave by the back door instead and you can shortly be strolling alongside beautiful Stockghyll and on to the fells beyond. The real wonder is that you can do all of this in the full knowledge that a wonderfully welcoming home awaits your return.
The property enjoys magnificent views looking primarily west over Ambleside and the Parish Church to the surrounding fells which encompasses everything from the impressive Coniston mountain range in the south continuing right along the flanks of Loughrigg until the start of the Fairfield Horseshoe comes into view. It is an ever changing view which is bewitching in every season.
The accommodation is entered via an enclosed porch and includes a bright, bay fronted sitting room, complete with a cosy living flame gas fire, and an inner hallway leads on to a splendid, extended family kitchen. There is a very useful upgraded basement room below with further potential, three double bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom with a stylish four piece suite. The terraced gardens offer yet more splendid fell views. High Gale is a private road and the residents of this terrace have marked out car parking spaces in front, one of which serves this delightful property.
The property has, in relatively recent years, undergone extensive upgrading including re-wiring and re-plumbing, re-fitting of the kitchen and bathroom, new but traditional style double glazed windows, alongside the re-slating of the main roof - all that is really left to do is to relax and enjoy it.
Idyllic as a family home, perfect as a holiday let and wonderful as a weekend retreat, this is not one to miss.
