This superbly placed detached home enjoys fabulous views and is an absolute delight and whilst now in need of some upgrading offers huge potential. Walks from the doorstep, and central Ambleside and all it offers is just a few minutes away.
Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom property in Ambleside, Cumbria, is situated in a highly desirable location within the Lake District National Park. The area is known for its stunning scenery, making it a popular destination for tourists and those seeking a tranquil lifestyle. The property is conveniently located near Ambleside Cofe Primary School, providing easy access to education for families. While there is a train station at Windermere (8.64km away), other transport options may need further investigation.
The house itself presents an opportunity for modernisation. The interior features dated décor, fittings, and carpets that would require refurbishment. The kitchen and bathrooms appear particularly outdated and would benefit from a significant update. Despite this, the property appears structurally sound.
The most attractive aspect of this property, besides its location, is the presence of a spacious garden. The images show a considerable amount of land surrounding the property, containing mature trees, shrubs, and areas for potential landscaping. This adds significant value in a region characterized by scenic beauty.
Potential buyers should approach this property with an understanding of the renovation costs involved. While the asking price of £475,000 could be competitive within Ambleside, depending on the extent of the required work and similar properties currently on the market, a thorough assessment of any necessary renovations and their associated costs is crucial for any prospective buyer to determine the property’s ultimate value proposition.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
