Location Wansfell Tower Court is prominently located on the corner of Lake Road and Wansfell Road close to Ambleside village centre, a level walk away. From Waterhead proceed north along Lake Road into Ambleside continuing past Hayes Garden World on the left and Wansfell Tower Court can be found at the junction of the one way system on the corner of Lake Road and Wansfell Road on the left hand side.The apartment benefits from a private entrance and also a car parking space that can be found on the left hand side immediately before turning the corner onto Wansfell Road.
Description Wansfell Tower Court is a very distinctive and attractive building having started life, we understand, as a Catholic seminary and having also seen life as an hotel before being thoughtfully sub-divided into an attractive array of apartments. Traditionally built in stone and slate with feature stone mullions amongst its many eye catching attributes, this self contained ground floor apartment enjoys the luxury of its own private entrance door and offers bright and airy accommodation throughout. This includes a wonderful, full height bay window serving the main living room which is splendidly proportioned with a separate breakfast kitchen alongside. The double bedroom includes an extensive array of built in wardrobes along one wall and the shower room has been thoughtfully upgraded in recent years. There is even a private car parking space - a highly valued commodity this close to the village centre.
Located on the edge of Ambleside, this much improved and well presented ground floor apartment is conveniently placed for immediate access to the many facilities offered by this lovely Lakeland village - independent local shops, highly regarded restaurants, traditional inns, cinemas, schools etc are all just a short stroll away, as are the shores of Lake Windermere and of course the beautiful surrounding fells. Ambleside is a true "honeypot" for an all year round tourist industry, and it is not difficult to see why. This is the perfect recipe for relaxation, whether you are seeking a permanent home, a peaceful "lock up and leave" weekend retreat, a superbly placed holiday let or a indeed a much-in-demand long term let. Simply perfect, come and see for yourself.
