Highfold

Positioned in the Waterhead district of Ambleside, close to Lake Windermere, rests this quaint cottage amid a cluster of character properties known to some of the most historic in Ambleside. Inside, the property has been thoughtfully brought up to date whilst retaining its traditional charm, ideal for families eager to escape to the heart of the countryside. Head up a flight of stairs and pass through double doors to reach the open-plan living area, with exposed beams, two sofas, a Smart TV and a woodburning stove which all combine to create a warming ambiance. The whole space has a light and spacious feel with windows to three sides and pitched ceiling supported by cruck beams. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances to keep your party well fed but retains the country living charm prevalent through the cottage. Move to the lower floor to discover two bedrooms, including the king-size master bedroom which benefits from a contemporary en-suite shower room so you can prepare for the day in privacy, whilst the wonderfully decorated twin is adjacent to the family bathroom. Continuing to impress, outside awaits a walled garden with raised patio which provides a real suntrap on warmer days, perfect for some alfresco dining or a zesty gin and tonic after a day of walking. There are walks from the door to Jenkins Crag and beyond over to Troutbeck – a favourite with many Lakeland visitors. With the lake a gentle five minutes stroll away you can enjoy lake cruises in all seasons or simply sit in the park by the water and admire the views. Head into Ambleside to find a good selection of local shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés as well as the ever popular Zeffirellis and Fellinis cinemas hosting the best films and periodic live streaming of opera and ballet. In search of energetic activities, drive north to Ullswater to take in a choice of sailing and canoeing, or head south to Grizedale Forest, home to cycling and mountain biking trails, orienteering and the Go Ape Zip Trekking Adventure. A real home away from home, consider Highfold for your next Lake District getaway.
