The property

It could be justifiably argued that this spacious, superbly presented penthouse apartment, one of the larger apartments in the building, enjoys one of the most outstanding views in the Lake District. Located on the top floor of one of the most prestigious developments within the Lakes, the views encapsulate the magnificence of the National Park, with Lake Windermere in the foreground, and only three minutes walk. Black Fell, Coniston Old Man and Weatherlam, together with Crinkle Crags and Loughrigg Fell all clearly visible. The views are uninterrupted and the sunsets stunning. Waterhead itself boasts two delightful restaurant/bars overlooking the lake, together with a few shops and the steamer piers from which the lake cruises come and go to take you the length and breadth of beautiful Lake Windermere. A short stroll to Ambleside village will bring you to a fine choice of tempting restaurants, pubs and local shops. Walks straight from the door include Jenkins Crag, Todd Crag and Loughrigg Fell. A regular and frequent bus service passes the development, providing access to all of the Lakes towns and villages. The car could stay parked for the duration of your break. The penthouse is set within two acres of beautifully landscaped gardens with meandering paths leading to strategically placed vantage points with seating, all enjoying far reaching views of the lake and fells. There is an elevated barbecue area. Romney Grange can be reached by stairs or lift, making it an ideal holiday home for young or old. No expense has been spared within the interior's design or upkeep. The presentation is simply meticulous, you will appreciate the high quality interior. Having its own housekeeper is a bonus to the high standard of upkeep and cleanliness. Accommodation: Video entry system into shared hallway with lift or stairs to second floor. The private entrance hall gives you the feeling of entering a stunning home and leads into the large superb open plan lounge/dining room (55" Smart TV, DVD, Wi-Fi and hi fi) and stunning artwork. Full length sliding patio doors open to the balcony and really do make the most of the view. The aspect is South and West and it is a sun trap. The lounge is beautifully furnished with stylish, relaxing furnishings and this room is open to the dining room which also boasts lake views - a perfect place for any meal. The fitted oak kitchen has slate floor and handles and is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The two spacious bedrooms have co-ordinated linens and fabrics. King-sized double, extra TV, en-suite (shower, basin and wc). Twin bedroom. The fully tiled family bathroom has bath, shower, basin and wc. Check in is from 3pm - Check out is 10am. Undercover parking right outside the door and as described above the gardens around the apartments are a real delight. Lastly don't forget the balcony and that view.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
