Pass The Keys | Little Two Bed Two Bath Amazing Views Parking, Ambleside

Lake District. Sleeps up to 4

About this space
Little Barn is a tiny 2 bed, 2 bath barn conversion with grand views! The ideal hideaway for couples. It sleeps 4 but you’ll need to be good friends –it’s all about the outdoors. Enjoy fell and valley views and occasionally the RAF’s ‘boy racers’ fast-flying down the valley. Next to a popular bridleway with lovely walks from the front door. Cosy in winter with a wood burner and in summer enjoy the views from the balcony. And the pubs, restaurants and shops of Ambleside are a 12-minute walk away.

The space
Little Barn is, as its name suggests, a tiny space but packed full of history. It is a traditional, detached, stone-built converted barn that dates back to the 17th century. Once used for livestock and feed stores, more recently it housed a sailing boat in the lower barn area. It is set in natural, wooded gardens and features two dog-secure fenced garden areas. There are lots of original features, including a bespoke, craftsman-made bar-height table in the dining/living area and an antique walnut double bed in the little upstairs bedroom. The second bedroom, with en-suite facilities, has a king sized bed. Please note that bedroom space is small and the upstairs bathroom features a slim and low shower cubicle, with a larger over-bath shower in the downstairs bathroom. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom property is perfectly located for panoramic views from a coveted rural location, yet just a few minutes’ walk from Ambleside.

First Floor: External access up 14 steep steps to open plan kitchen/dining/living room with a fully equipped kitchen including kettle, microwave, electric oven, fridge/freezer and washing machine, dining space which seats four and a living room with Smart TV, DVD player and wood burner (a starter kit of wood is provided and further supplies can be purchased). Double bedroom and shower room with toilet, basin and heated towel rail.

Ground Floor: King bedroom with ensuite bathroom with a shower over a small bath, toilet, basin and heated towel rail."

Outside: There are two outdoor seating areas, one with a fire-pit/barbecue and these are complimented by a grandstand view from the living area balcony, the perfect spot for a morning cuppa or a glass of something chilled in the evening.
