Luxury Apartment in Central Ambleside, Balcony, Fabulous Views, Fully Equipped

Beautiful bright fully equipped and renovated apartment on an elevated position above the picturesque town of Ambleside at the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Accommodation is on single open plan floor; the large windows and balcony off the lounge take full advantage of sunny days and amazing views of Ambleside, Loughrigg fell and the Fairfield Horseshoe. Great for watching the sun go down after a day's walking or sightseeing.

There is off street parking, although the apartment is positioned so that a car is not required. The apartment is serviced with stairs or a lift.

The spacious open plan living room has two new comfortable stylish sofas (one soft, one firmer), good secondary lighting, foot stool and coffee table. The elevated position and the angled large windows takes advantage of the panoramic view of Ambleside and fells both near and far as well as a glimpse of the lake. Local artists’ ornaments or pictures.

A bathroom with underfloor heating has been renovated with stylish italian porcelain ceramic tiles. Very large multi jet shower. Separate eco bath (note its narrow) and heated towel rail. A selection of Arran Aromatic toiletries provided.

New 32" Sony Bravia smart flat screen TV with freeview play including BBC Iplayer, Netflix and ITV player . DVD including huge selection of DVD's. Echo dot, BOSE Bluetooth speaker/radio (Soundtouch 10), two echo dots.

Modern new kitchen in 2020 with dishwasher.

Sorry pets not allowed.

Perfectly located close to many of the Lakes District’s top attractions, yet set back to offer a tranquil stay.

Sitting in a slightly elevated position with views out over Loughrigg fell, this property offers the best of both worlds: Ambleside village, with its pubs, restaurants and shops and the attractive, undulating landscape of fells and beautiful Rydal Water.

Also within easy reach of the popular village of Grasmere (3 miles) or the bustling Windermere.

Dora's Field is a semi-open woodland in Grasmere, renowned for fine displays of bluebells and daffodils, was once owned by William Wordsworth.

Just a short walk from Ambleside you’ll find Stagshaw Gardens, an informal woodland garden which in the spring and summer bursts into life with an absolute blaze of colour and wonderful scents.

Bridge House stands over Stock Beck in the middle of Ambleside as a quirky reminder of Ambleside’s past; it is a 17th-century survivor.

Explore a quirky farmhouse with an even quirkier family at Townend, a 17th century farmhouse The Brownes were just an ordinary family of farmers, living in Troutbeck near Windermere, but their quirky home at Townend and their belongings bring to life over 400 years of extraordinary stories and characters

There are excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside there are dozens of walks from the door step with the Fairfield Horseshoe providing a good days walk for the more adventurous.

Alternatively get the steamer down the lake to visit other villages or walking on the the shores of lake Windermere (10 miles long). Or simply chug to the Lakes Aquarium at Lakeside which takes a look at the marine life of Lake Windermere. You can combine this with the ferry to Fell Foot where you can hire rowing boats or sailing craft, simply swim or picnic by the shore or let the young ones loose on the adventure playground.

While over to the west lies Coniston Water, and in between there’s Grizedale Forest. A day out in itself for walking or mountain biking or tackling the impressive ‘Go Ape’ high ropes course. Beyond this lies the central massif of the Langdales for some high level walking and climbing.

So if you want to walk, cycle, sail climb, ride, explore, fly or cruise this unique area has an abundance of woodland walks as well as fell walking, coastal walks, cycle paths and quiet leafy lanes to explore or you can name your adrenaline rush and you’ll find it! Bicycles are not allowed in the apartment but there is a separate storage room with fixings to facilitate locking.

Alternatively just relax on the sunny balcony and watch the world go by.

Long weekend winter break
There may be a better venue to stay in this area, but there's no way I would waste another second of my life trying to find it as long as Underhill is available. It has everything you could possibly want inside the accommodation, together with a few things you didn't know you wanted until you'd stayed there. It's very much a home away from home, with a wonderful location right in the town but high enough up to feel like you are out of town whilst offering a superb panorama from the bedroom and lounge area. We really couldn't fault it. Like any property, it has a few of its own little idiosyncrasies, which you soon get used to and we were very sad to have to leave when it came time to. The only note of caution is that the road up to the property is steep in places, as is the short cut into town, so perhaps not suitable for anyone with mobility restrictions. Would highly recommend.

Lovely Christmas getaway
This apartment has stunning views over Ambleside. It proved an excellent base to explore the Lakes being so close to shops and transport links. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge area very comfortable. We had a fantastic break and the hosts could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Lesley Stevens

Host profile image
Lesley & Chris are from Holmfirth in Yorkshire.
Our three children are all now adults following their own dreams, so we can now manage to spend more time traveling the world!
Food and holidays are our passion - a great reason to spend time in Ambleside - so many great restaurants available without needing to drive! The flat is designed as a 'home' with quality fixtures.

Why they chose this property

We have rented this apartment many times over the past 15 years, from Susan - the previous owner, who is a very special & close friend of ours, and jumped at the chance to buy it when it became available. We have loved the area all our lives and feel central Ambleside is one of the best parts as it is easy to access most areas of the lakes whilst offering shops, pubs and great restaurants. We have continued to refurbish the property and continually improve the apartment and hope to continue sharing this luxury space with past and future guests.

What makes this property unique

Undoubtedly, the views... and light flooding in... and sitting on the balcony with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. We love walking down to lake Windermere, the cinemas in Ambleside and enjoying the fabulous food on offer within a short walk of the apartment.
To be able to go on some lovely walks without the need of going in the car first is fantastic. Hiring a motor boat on Lake Windermere for a few hours and taking a picnic is a lot of fun!
There are some great walks including pubs en-route. Such as the mortal man. For the more ambitious the Fairfield Horseshoe.
Walk or drive over to Skelwith Bridge and walk along the river. Or walk down to the park and then along the river.
Stagshaw gardens a few yards down the road is fabulous for its rhododendrons and woodland garden
Rydal water is a short walk away and one of the most beautiful views in the lakes
Blackwell is one of Britain's finest Arts & Crafts historic houses. Located south of Windermere with views over the lake.
