This enchanting Grade II listed cottage is one of the very oldest in Ambleside, dating back to the 1580s and tucked away in a peaceful historic corner, with front and rear views to the surrounding fells. With a stylish and luxurious refurbishment, the original features shine; flagged slate with underfloor heating, old oak floors and beamed ceilings, a cosy bright lounge with window seat, traditional open fire and luxurious furnishings. A magnificent curved oak staircase takes you up to the romantic bedroom with brass bed, and Victorian-styled bathroom. Private parking at the rear, and pretty front garden. Old Oak Cottage is a true hideaway, perfectly formed for lazy mornings and cosy evenings in, but the delights of Ambleside’s pubs, restaurants and shops just a stroll away. Ambleside. a contemporary, characterful Lakeland village with a spectacular backdrop of Lake District fells. Ideal for walking, cycling or boating activities, its also a lovely spot for contemporary shops, leisurely lake cruises, acclaimed Lake District restaurants and cosy traditional pubs. There are 2 cinemas, a Jazz bar and the Lake Cruises leave regularly from Waterhead, a great way to explore without driving. The tiny ‘Bridge House’ is one of the most photographed places here, sat on a bridge in the middle of the village. Oh, and don’t forget our Roman fort, Galava. One of William Wordsworth’s former family homes can be visited nearby at Rydal Mount & Gardens. His Grasmere home, Dove Cottage, is also worth a visit and only a short drive away on the scenic A591.
