About this property
The Viewpoint - Central Ambleside and short stroll to shops, cafes
The Viewpoint is a stylish and comfortable apartment, set all on one level in an elevated position with views over Ambleside to the fells beyond.
The apartment is accessed via a slope and a few flights of external steps, which may not suit all, but does of course take you up to The Viewpoint's fantastic position above the village. The apartment couldn't be more handily positioned for all the attractions and facilities of Ambleside and the numerous classic Lake District walks which can be started straight from the door. Don't forget the wonders of Windermere - the lake is only a 15 minute walk away, where you can board a ferry for a lake cruise or take to the water yourself by paddle board or kayak.
Step into the entrance area where there are coat hooks and the staircase up to the accommodation. The main living area is open-plan, making it a sociable space for all. The lounge area has two very good-sized sofas and a Freeview TV. The sleek and ultra-modern kitchen is very well thought out, with plenty of storage and worktop space, electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer (just off the kitchen), dishwasher, washer/ dryer, microwave, kettle, and toaster. If you fancy a break from cooking, you will be spoilt for choice with all sorts of cafe, restaurant, and pub options in Ambleside, including the ever-popular meal and movie deal at Zefirelli's Cinema and Restaurant.
There are two bedrooms - all on one level. The double bedroom is decorated in restful colours and has a smartly dressed double bed with crisp white linens to ensure a great night's sleep. The twin room has full size (3ft) single beds, suitable for adults or children alike.
It's just a few steps to the modern house bathroom which has a bathtub and electric shower over.
Outside, there is a small shared patio area with seating and views over the town towards Loughrigg and Fairfield.
Ambleside is deservedly popular and has so many things to do, all in the most sublime Lake District scenery. From scaling the highest fells, cruising on the lake, activities at nearby Brockhole, visiting Wordsworth's nearby homes, taking the kids to the excellent park, or just enjoying pottering around the shops and cafes, there's always something for everyone in Ambleside, whatever the weather. Even if you have no car, The Viewpoint is easy to reach - trains arrive at Windermere just 4 miles away and there are up to three buses every hour during the day to Ambleside. The main bus stop is just a 3 minute walk away, and you can reach most main Lake District destinations by bus from here.
