Orchard House enjoys a particularly fine location right on the edge of the village at the end of a quiet lane and provides a light, spacious and high quality retreat in any season.
The detached property is one of two built in the divided grounds of a former Lakeland residence - there is no passing traffic and yet you are handy for all the village facilities.
There are numerous walks from the door including over Wansfell to Troutbeck, Loughrigg Fell, Rydal Mount and the Coffin route to Grasmere, and the lovely paths to Low and High Sweden Bridges and beyond onto Low Pike and the Fairfield Horseshoe or Red Screes.
Ambleside centre is within walking distance for all your local shopping plus a host of eating places to suit every taste and pocket.
Orchard House is set in almost three acres of grounds on various levels with woodland and a stream, which attracts a wide variety of birds and wildlife.
Paths lead to a higher-level private meadow from where you can enjoy exceptional views over Ambleside to Lake Windermere and the fells beyond.
