Sprinkling Tarn, Neaum Crag

Description Nestled within the tranquil woodland surroundings of Neaum Crag Estate, Sprinkling Tarn is a charming two-bedroom freehold lodge occupying a delightful position close to Ambleside and at the heart of the Lake District National Park. Offering an ideal opportunity as a holiday let or second home retreat, the property combines comfortable accommodation with a peaceful setting, surrounded by nature and with excellent access to the area's renowned lakes, fells and walking routes.

Approached via a stone pathway that meanders through the mature woodland, the lodge enjoys a wonderfully secluded feel. The entrance opens into a practical vestibule with shelving and hanging space, providing the perfect area for storing outdoor clothing and walking equipment after a day spent exploring the surrounding countryside.

The accommodation is bright and welcoming throughout. The spacious dual-aspect breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by laminate work surfaces and incorporates a built-in Schott Ceran electric hob, Logik oven, extractor hood and Zanussi fridge. A large skylight floods the room with natural light, while ample space is available for dining and entertaining. Windows overlooking the surrounding woodland further enhance the property's connection with its natural setting.

The impressive triple-aspect living room forms the heart of the lodge. A generous picture window and two glazed doors allow natural light to pour into the space whilst framing attractive woodland views from every angle. Double opening doors open out onto the rear woodland area and a single glazed door opens directly onto a private west-facing terrace, creating a wonderful extension of the living accommodation and providing an idyllic setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the evening sun.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room enjoying views of the woodland beyond, complemented by a fitted wardrobe and dressing table. The second bedroom is arranged as a bunk room, making it ideal for family members or visiting guests.

The shower room is fitted with a Mira shower, Roca WC and wash hand basin and a heated towel rail, all enhanced by natural light from a rear-facing window.

Externally, Sprinkling Tarn enjoys a delightful woodland setting with mature trees and established planting surrounding the lodge, creating a sense of privacy and tranquillity. A terrace and seating area provide excellent spaces for enjoying the outdoors, while a useful timber store offers practical storage for walking gear and outdoor equipment. The property also benefits from private parking for two vehicles.

Residents of Neaum Crag Estate enjoy access to on-site leisure facilities, while the vibrant amenities, shops, cafés and restaurants of Ambleside are just a short distance away.
