<strong>Location</strong> <strong></strong> Entering Ambleside from the direction of Windermere, continue straight ahead at the traffic lights at Waterhead along Lake Road, bearing left onto the one way system which forms Wansfell Road almost opposite the petrol station. Keeping in the left hand lane here as you descend the hill, the entrance drive to St Marys Close is located on the left hand side shortly before the junction at the bottom of the road. Parking is available on the driveway. <br /><br /><strong>Description</strong> <strong></strong> This attractive and superbly placed semi detached dormer bungalow is an absolute delight. Walk from the door and central Ambleside is just a few minutes away, offering an exceptional range of restaurants, cafes, shops and traditional Lakeland Inns, not to mention cinema screens or waterfall walks. You could choose instead to hike some of the many fells on view - The Fairfield Horseshoe is dramatically shown to the front of the property and is certainly achievable for the energetic without having to trouble the car. Whilst the very summit of Coniston Old Man can also be seen, it would take a brave person to suggest that employing some means of transport might not be required before undertaking that particular ascent. The lake shore, on the other hand, is much more readily accessible .<br /><br />The dormer bungalow itself is impeccably presented and has been both thoughtfully and tastefully extended from its equally attractive original 1930's design to now cater for all modern needs. The wonderfully bright family kitchen makes for a very inviting welcome into this charming home, and is supplemented by a very useful utility room. The central hallway leads on to the south facing living room, beyond which is a delightful garden room with tri-fold doors opening onto the private rear garden. There is also a double bedroom and a modern bathroom on the ground floor - ideal for those with one eye on a home where you can comfortably live into retirement entirely at ground floor level should you so wish.<br /><br />The first floor includes two further excellent bedrooms and a modern shower room. There is plenty of storage provision within the living space itself, supplemented by a very useful external store plus, of course, the garage, which also includes loft storage accessed via a retractable ladder. Some may view the attached garage as potentially becoming the perfect home office, allowing for suitable separation between home and work spaces. Add in the off road car parking, sunny gardens and splendid views and you will find a home which is as welcoming as it is accommodating. Whether you are seeking a family home (with or without home office potential), a peaceful retirement spot, a superbly placed holiday let or a relaxing weekend retreat, you should come and see St Marys Close as soon as you can - you wouldn't want to miss it! <br /><br /><strong>Accommodation</strong> <strong>(with</strong> <strong>approximate</strong> <strong>dimensions)</strong> <strong></strong>  <br /><br /><strong>Canopy</strong> <strong>Porch</strong> <strong></strong> A sheltered porch with light point. <br /><br /><strong>Family</strong> <strong>Kitchen</strong> <strong>25' 3" x 13' 10" (7.70m max x 4.24m max)</strong> A lovely and bright welcoming room with a part glazed roof and enjoying fell views.
