The Coach House, Skelwith Bridge, Ambleside, LA22 9NH

A traditional stone built detached house, dating back to 1806 and as the name suggests was formerly a Coach House.

An attractively proportioned property providing two bedroom accommodation with sitting room, kitchen/diner, bathroom, separate cloak room and store. Nestled in a superb picturesque rural setting with far reaching and attractive country views. Off road parking and woodland garden. Although the property does require modernisation it will suit a variety of buyers whether as a main home, retirement property, second home or holiday let as the previous vendor had.

Apart from the superb quiet location the property has the distinct advantage of a private drive to the front allowing private parking and access to the garden, natural woodland garden that enjoys spectacular views across the River Brathay towards Skelwith Fold and Black Fell.

Well placed in the centre of the Lake District National Park at Skelwith Bridge on the edge of the Langdale Valley and approximately 3 miles from the popular market town of Ambleside. In a delightful rural position with splendid views towards the River Rothay. Ideal location to enjoy a plethora of walks from the doorstep together with amenities close at hand including Skelwith Bridge Hotel and Restaurant and the reputable Chester's Café. For a larger variety of amenities Ambleside is only a short drive away.
