Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charming apartment is located in the heart of Ambleside, the gateway to the Lake District. It boasts stunning views of the surrounding town, mountains, and lakes from every window, and is just a short walk from the shops, restaurants, and pubs. You can set off on delightful walks from the doorstep, and the likes of Lake Windermere and Rydal Water are a short drive away. The apartment won’t suit those seeking a modern, sleek holiday home but we think the slightly dated style adds to the charm.

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....
