About this property

Lyndhurst is an inviting abode situated within the Lake District National Park in Ambleside, Cumbria. Resting on an elevated position boasting picturesque mountain views, this charming abode offers ample off-road parking and easy access to nearby shops, restaurants, and Lake Windermere, making it perfect for families or friends seeking an unforgettable getaway. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a spacious sitting room, complete with a plush sofa, two armchairs, and an gas fire, creating a warm ambiance for those chillier evenings. A selection of books and board games are available for your entertainment, and a Smart TV ensures you won't miss your favourite shows. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen/diner, where you can prepare delicious meals using the array of appliances at your disposal. Gather around the dining table to enjoy your culinary creations or unbox a local takeaway, and plan the day's adventures. The ground floor also hosts two tastefully-presented bedrooms, a double and a king-size, both featuring ample storage space making unpacking that bit easier. The king-size bedroom also boasts a TV for leisurely mornings in bed. The ground-floor family bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, shower over, basin, and WC, offering a tranquil space to unwind and freshen up after a day of exploring the Lake District. Ascend the stairs to discover a convenient family room, with Velux ceilings, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. This room also benefits from an en-suite, fitted with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC for a touch of opulence. Outside, the enclosed front and side patio provides a tranquil spot to enjoy the fresh air amidst the serene mountain views from afar. Furnished with outdoor seating, it's the perfect place for alfresco dining or a morning coffee as you take in the serene surroundings. Stepping outside the comfort of Lyndhurst, history enthusiasts should travel to the Ambleside Roman Fort or the National Trust's Wray Castle. Both are steeped in stories from centuries ago and promise to make for quite the cultural visit. For something a bit different, The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop is a must to sample the famous spicy-sweet treat known throughout the region. Nearby, Stock Ghyll Force is an awe-inspiring sight with its 70-foot waterfall, presenting an incredible photo opportunity or serene picnic spot. For the thrill-seekers, Zip World Windermere offers unparalleled, adrenaline-packed experiences. Why not push your boundaries with the adventure-filled activities available? Back in the town of Ambleside, take a leisurely stroll through Rydal Mount and Gardens, former home of renowned poet William Wordsworth. To appreciate the blend of nature and local architecture, visit The Bridge House, a 17th-century survival and now a quirky National Trust shop. Finally, before the day ends, enjoy the greenery of Rothay Park, where leisurely river walks, children’s play area and plenty of open space for a round of frisbee or a quiet afternoon with a good book await. No matter how you plan to spend each delightful day in the Lake District, Lyndhurst, with its charm and ease, waits to welcome you home.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside with its numerous shops makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips, and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and the lakeside at Waterhead with parkland offering lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach. A walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre. Ambleside has plenty of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes from great fish & chips to its two Michelin Star restaurants and all tastes in between are catered for.
