1 bedroom cottage

Location From the centre of Ambleside take the right hand turning at the mini roundabout at the Northern end of the town heading up towards The Kirkstone Pass, on what is known locally as The Struggle. At the junction at the top of this road, on The Kirkstone Pass itself, turn left at the Kirkstone Pass Inn and follow the road down past Brotherswater and Patterdale and on towards Glenridding. Just before reaching the village you will see the Mountain Rescue base on the right hand side and just after that, before the signpost for Glenridding itself, turn right over Grisedale Bridge and follow this lane into a courtyard. Keepers Cottage is then seen on the left hand side with private car parking provision on the right.  

Description You often know very early on, when viewing a house, whether it is going to be the one for you. Sometimes you know even before you step through the door, sometimes you might have already proceeded around a fair proportion of the property before you are suddenly blown away by a view and it all falls into place. With Keepers Cottage we anticipate that you will fall in love with the location before you step out of the car, certainly if your dream is to be able to access a wide variety of wonderful walks from the doorstep, whether that may involve hiking the high fells, ambling along the lake shore or simply strolling down to the local pub. If by any chance that alone does not seal the deal for you, then we are confident that the instant you step over the threshold you will be suitably impressed by the welcoming comfort of this traditional Lakeland cottage. With its beamed ceiling, cosy log burner and dual aspect, this open plan living room and kitchen is simply a delight. The first floor double bedroom also enjoys wonderful views front and rear and is well served by a stylish en-suite shower room. Outside are easily managed gardens, again to both the front and rear, where further wonderful views can be enjoyed. There is a private car parking space, where you can happily leave the car untouched for days if not weeks on end whilst exploring the beautiful surroundings on foot from the doorstep.

A superb opportunity - so don't miss out.
