Freshfield Cottage, Wansfell Road Ambleside LA22 0EG

A well proportioned characterful two bedroom, two bathroom Lakeland cottage, spread over four floors. The principal rooms occupy the ground and first floor with a highly useful attic room on the second floor which can be used as an occasional bedroom. There are also two highly useful basement rooms, which provide additional scope. Freshfield Cottage would benefit from some moderisation as it has been used as a second home for 30+ years, however, it does represent an ideal opportunity to purchase a versatile residence. It will
make an ideal low maintenance lock up and leave cottage, ie second home or holiday letting property with the benefits of having private driveway parking. It is situated close to the centre of this highly popular town in the heart of the Lake District National Park, which due to the towns location, history, and natural beauty, attracts all year round visitors.
