Blue Hill is a ‘state of the art’ sophisticated first floor apartment forming part of this modern select development on the slopes of Wansfell yet only 10 minute’s stroll from the vibrant centre of picturesque Ambleside. Completed at the end of 2011 this hideaway enjoys a wonderful setting. As there is some work being completed on the development, with this in mind the pricing has been reduced to accommodate any minor disruption.
This unique retreat leads the way in contemporary Lakeland life. Oak, Lakeland slate and glass feature throughout blending effortlessly with sumptuous furnishings. This is a place to relax and spend precious time together. A pathway leads behind the property to Wansfell via Blue Hill Wood and in the other direction a coveted short stroll to the shops, restaurants, lake cruises and late nights of Ambleside and Waterhead Pier. What a place to recharge your batteries!

We normally stay in the Lakes for 2 weeks per year but this year we decided to stay a 3rd week for Xmas, having stayed at over 40 rental properties over the years Blue Hill is by far the best we have ever stayed at, it really has the wow factor and everything within it is of the highest quality.Mr Merry

The property was amazing and in a brilliant location too. The beds were very comfortable with luxury bedding. The kitchen was filled with Denby crockery and the lounge had nice leather recliners. My son loved the shower, always a bonus! The proximity to Ambleside town centre & Waterhead, perfect :)Mrs Chalmers
