We love the elegant ambience of this sophisticated cottage in the peaceful conservation area of Ambleside; slightly elevated with far-reaching fell views and yet still only a 2 minute walk from the village centre.
On arrival you'll fall in love with the 'chocolate box' exterior of Argyle Cottage, sitting pretty in this very attractive historic area of the village.
Step inside and you'll be pleasantly surprised by a stylish and somewhat contemporary interior.
Exposed beams, woodburning stove and those cute cottage windows are tastefully embellished with rich fabrics, contemporary furnishings and truly stunning bathrooms.
A perfect balance for couples, family or friends; a traditional property with a contemporary finish, and a peaceful location that's also incredibly convenient.
