This Ambleside home positions you perfectly for exploring the best of the Lake District. Lake Windermere is nearby, as are Rydal Water and the Cumbrian Fells, and you’ll be just a two-minute walk from a 2nd-century Roman fort. The house boasts views of Lake Windermere and River Brathay, which can be admired from beside the fire in chilly weather or from summer barbecues on the slate terrace. We love the bright open-plan kitchen and dining space – it’s the heart of this eco-friendly home.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
