Description

This substantial mid-terraced property features classic Lakeland stone and slate construction, situated in a prime location in Ambleside. Currently requiring modernization, this five-bedroom home holds significant potential as an ideal family residence, a second home, or even as a holiday rental investment. The ground floor comprises a living room with a charming bay window and fireplace, a dining room showcasing original Lakeland slate flooring, and a compact galley kitchen that could easily be transformed into an open-plan space by merging it with the dining area. Additionally, the lower ground floor offers two cellar rooms that can serve various purposes. The upper levels house three bedrooms along with a wet room on the first floor and two further bedrooms with a shower room on the second floor—these rooms offer great views of the surrounding fells but would benefit from renovation. With high ceilings throughout and original features intact, including ornate flooring in the entrance hall, this property presents an opportunity to create a stylish home tailored to modern standards while preserving its character. Its location provides easy access to local amenities including shops, restaurants, and beautiful hiking trails amidst the picturesque Lake District scenery.
