—LOCATION
THE HEART OF THE LAKES
Glorious Ambleside is a picture-perfect Lake District town, its unique blend of poetic, pastoral beauty and modern market town amenities making it a magnet for residents and holidaymakers alike.
Lesketh How represents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully designed home within a short distance of Ambleside’s shops, restaurants and cinema, yet situated in secluded grounds that provide a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Ambleside has been delighting visitors for centuries. Today, thanks to the area’s popularity with Victorian travellers – including Lakes aficionados William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy – the town retains a tangible link to times past, with elegant buildings in classic grey stone and slate lining the many streets, lanes and ginnels.
Surrounded on three sides by a horseshoe of fells, with Lake Windermere to the south, Ambleside occupies an unrivalled position in the heart of the Lake District National Park (recently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site), offering the tempting prospect of picturesque walks, lake cruises and a wide range of leisure, dining and entertainment options on the town’s doorstep.
And while Ambleside may feel tucked away, it remains remarkably accessible. The town is just 20 miles from junction 36 of the M6, with the nearest railway station four and a half miles away at Windermere, providing links to the west coast mainline at Oxenholme which offers direct services to London Euston, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The town centre features plenty of independent shops, cafes and restaurants and more than a few
buildings of historical interest, including Bridge House which straddles Stock Beck and is one of the most
photographed buildings in the Lake District.
Each home enjoys a private terrace – most with Fell views – bounded by glass and steel balustrades and providing access to wooded communal gardens that offer a wonderfully tranquil setting and feature a pretty seating area with vistas to the north. There are two designated parking spaces per property, plus a communal bin store and a cycle store.
Lesketh How is less than half a mile from the town centre, where everyday needs are well catered for thanks to a good selection of grocery shops, banks, cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as outdoor clothing stores, artisan bakers, deli and a chocolatier. Ambleside is also home to one of the area’s most successful cinema and restaurant businesses: Zeffirelli’s and Fellini’s.
White Platts park includes mini golf, tennis courts, play equipment and a bowls lawn but there are other playground areas and lots of green space close by. Just a few miles down the road is Grizedale Forest with walks, biking trails and the famous Go Ape treetop experience.
A PERFECT BLEND OF OLD AND NEW
An exclusive collection of six unique two-storey homes
Set in an elevated position off Rydal Road, Lesketh How occupies an enviable location. Originally built in the nineteenth century as a grand family home, it not only retains many appealing period features but also affords breathtaking views of Loughrigg Fell from several of the homes.
Six unique two-storey homes have been meticulously designed to make the most of the site, seamlessly extending the existing accommodation into a new wing and offering buyers the chance to own a comfortable two-, three- or four-bedroom character house with a high-quality contemporary interior for holiday, investment or permanent occupation (no planning restrictions on usage).
