About
A delightful, Grade 2 listed traditional stone built Lakeland cottage dating back to 1741 set in a central yet secluded position.
A deceptively spacious property with two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generously proportioned living room, good sized kitchen diner and versatile sun room/occasional third bedroom.
A quirky property with attractive character features, tastefully updated with modern quality bathrooms and kitchen.
The property benefits from a small courtyard/patio area and sunny west facing aspect towards Loughrigg. The cottage would be equally suitable as a main residence or as a holiday retreat.
We believe as a holiday let it could generate approximately £40,000 - £60,000 pa.
North Syke is centrally located in the older part of Ambleside, tucked away just off North Road, conveniently placed for all village amenities including cafes, restaurants, pubs, cinema and Post Office etc.
There is also an abundance of fell and country walks from the doorstep.
