Description Nestled within the beautiful woodland setting of the prestigious Neaum Crag Estate, Wordsworth is a charming two-bedroom ground floor apartment enjoying lovely views towards the surrounding fells. With an abundance of Lakeland walks from the doorstep and the vibrant village of Ambleside just a short drive away, this delightful property offers an excellent opportunity to embrace the quintessential Lake District lifestyle.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, from which all rooms lead. The hallway provides useful coat hooks and a generous double sliding-door storage cupboard with shelving, which also houses the water tank.

At the heart of the property is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, providing a versatile and sociable space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Dual-aspect windows overlook the beautifully maintained communal grounds and woodland beyond, creating a light and appealing living environment.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with laminate work surfaces, together with a built-in Neff four-ring electric hob and oven. A Bosch dishwasher, Indesit washing machine and Zanussi fridge freezer are also included. Additional features include laminate flooring, part-tiled walls, a stainless-steel sink and drainer, and useful display shelving. The generous living and dining area is complemented by an electric fire set within a granite hearth, creating a cosy focal point.

Bedroom One is a well-proportioned double room featuring a hanging rail and double patio doors opening directly onto a paved patio and the communal grounds. The room enjoys attractive fell views and a peaceful outlook across the woodland that surrounds the estate.

Bedroom Two is another comfortable double bedroom, currently arranged as a twin room, with a window overlooking the front elevation and views across the surrounding woodland.

The bathroom is finished with part tiled walls and laminate flooring, the room includes a Mira shower over a bath, WC, wash hand basin with mirrored cabinet above and heated towel rail. An obscure-glazed window provides natural light and privacy.

Externally, the apartment is surrounded by attractive communal grounds, comprising mature woodland, areas of lawn and a delightful pond, providing a tranquil setting in which to enjoy the natural beauty of the estate. Residents of Neaum Crag Estate also enjoy access to on-site leisure facilities including a pool and laundry.

The property also benefits from an allocated parking space, conveniently located just a short stroll from the apartment.

Combining a peaceful woodland setting with easy access to Ambleside and the wider Lake District, Wordsworth represents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a holiday retreat or investment in one of Cumbria's most sought-after locations.
