Perched on the northern edge of Lake Windermere and cradled by the picturesque Loughrigg Fell, the delightful market town of Ambleside is a fine place to base yourself to uncover the best of the Lakes. And it's where you'll find this immaculate apartment, nestled along a quiet street. Throw off your walking paraphernalia in the inviting entrance hall and make your way upstairs to discover a contemporary retreat awaiting. Exposed slate stone and lofty gables bring all the charm, while pops of colour and rich textiles add a dash of modernity. Come together in the cosy sitting room and break out the home's games. Or take pre-dinner drinks onto the sunny outdoor terrace – the views over the higgledy-piggledy rooftops are charming. Friends or family coming together will love the extra privacy the two ensuite bathrooms bring, with power showers ready to kick start your day. And you won't have far to go when it's time to soak up Ambleside's gentle hustle and bustle. You're just moments away with its many bars, restaurants, and shops, including the beloved local landmark, Zeffirellis (one minute away), for its quality pizza and pasta. And once you're suitably watered and fed, head for the hills for bracing walks around the spell bounding lakes – there are trails starting just an eight-minute hop, skip, and a jump away.
