Swiss Villas, Ambleside

Description Tucked away in an elevated position in the heart of beautiful Ambleside, 3 Swiss Villas is an attractive four-bedroom mid-terrace Lakeland stone property arranged over three floors. Enjoying fantastic views across the village towards the surrounding fells, the property offers a wonderful opportunity to embrace the quintessential Lake District lifestyle, with fell and countryside walks accessible directly from the doorstep and the many amenities of Ambleside within easy reach.

The property is approached through an attractive part-glazed entrance door, opening into an entrance hallway. The living room is positioned to the front of the property and enjoys lovely fell views through its windows. A log-burning stove sits on a stone hearth with a stone mantel surround, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

The dining room has a charming farmhouse character, featuring a large fireplace alcove with an original cast iron wood-burning stove and traditional red-tiled flooring. A rear-facing window provides natural light and benefits from a deep sill, while two generous storage cupboards with fitted shelving offer useful household storage.

The kitchen continues the traditional feel, with red-tiled flooring, tiled walls and a composite sink with drainer, complemented by a range of fitted wall and base units. Integrated appliances include a Neff four-ring gas hob and electric oven, together with a fridge. A rear-facing window provides plenty of natural light. A door from the kitchen leads down to the cellar, which offers excellent potential for renovation and could provide valuable additional living or ancillary accommodation.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to a half landing, where there is a shower room. Finished with tiled walls and flooring, the room includes a large walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin with vanity unit and heated towel rail. An obscure-glazed rear window with a deep sill provides natural light and privacy.

A further short flight of stairs leads to the first-floor accommodation. Bedroom one is a particularly spacious double room with a front-facing window enjoying attractive views towards the fells. An elegant decorative fireplace with ornate wooden mantel adds character and charm.

Bedroom three is another comfortable double bedroom, featuring a decorative fireplace and a window overlooking the rear of the property.

Stairs continue to the second-floor landing, where a Velux roof window floods the space with natural light. Bedroom two is a double bedroom, currently arranged as a twin, with a front-facing window providing superb panoramic views across the surrounding fells. There is some restricted head height within the eaves.

Bedroom four is a charming single bedroom tucked into the eaves, again with some restricted head height. A Velux window allows natural light to fill the room.

Outside, the property enjoys a delightful rear courtyard enclosed by traditional stone walls. A rear gate opens onto a pathway leading towards Millans Park, providing convenient access to the village and surrounding walks.

The courtyard also gives access to a useful outside WC with wash hand basin and an external tap. The Worcester boiler is housed here, while a separate outside store provides plumbing for a washing machine and space for a freezer.

Beyond the property is a small communal garden, which is maintained by the residents and provides an attractive shared outdoor space.

On-road parking is available, with residents eligible to apply for two complimentary parking permits.

Combining traditional Lakeland character, versatile accommodation and wonderful fell views with an enviable central Ambleside location, 3 Swiss Villas represents an appealing opportunity for those looking to enjoy the very best of village and countryside living in the heart of the Lake District.
