More Information
A lovely Lakeland cottage, ideal for a young family or group. Built in the 18th century, Oaklea has been beautifully updated to provide luxury accommodation on the outskirts of lively Ambleside. Its vaulted ceilings, stone and oak floors, and exposed beams make it a property full of character. Superb bathrooms, generous bedrooms and a fabulous kitchen/diner make this a very welcome home from home. And the views are something else!
The entrance to Oaklea is at the heart of cottage and welcoming rooms, but before guiding you through the accommodation, it’s worth mentioning that there are many great places to store walking gear, with even a drying cupboard for soggy boots. The open plan kitchen/dining area is a real highlight of the property. Granite worktops and contemporary design make this a wonderful space to gather for breakfast, lunch or dinner and perfect for a catch up over a brew. Moving on from here is cosy living area with woodburning stove set in an impressive fireplace. The second reception room, known as the garden room, gives guests the chance to spread out and admire the garden through glass patio doors. Also on this level can be found a well-equipped utility room and a shower room with basin and wc.
Upstairs are three wonderful bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king size leather sleigh bed with en-suite bathroom. A monsoon shower is over the designer bath, with basin and wc. A second king size room with superb views, shares the marble house bathroom with a pretty twin room.
The garden outside is the perfect spot for relaxing on sunny days, with the sound of running water from nearby Stock Ghyll Waterfalls making it a soothing place in which to sit and meditate. What could be more perfect? There is private car parking for 2 cars. With the centre of Ambleside just a short stroll away, there is something for all ages and tastes. Cosy pubs, tea rooms, Zeffirelli’s cinema, pizzeria and jazz bar, the Glass House or Fellini’s for a film and vegetarian treat, the choice is yours.
