About this house rental

This wonderful contemporary property has been given a luxurious makeover this year and offered for your pleasure. All on one level, a beautiful large open plan living-dining-kitchen with floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the garden terrace and views, well fitted ensuite bathrooms for each of the double rooms, and space for the whole family to relax with the separate games room-snug. Located in a lovely quiet part of Ambleside only a short walk from the heart of this lively town.

Beautifully fitted out with everything you will need for families or groups up to 10, with a large Master suite with bathroom and seating area, 2 kingsize ensuite rooms and 2 twin rooms. Each bedroom has floor to ceiling windows. The large open plan living-dining-kitchen room with floor to ceiling windows has views out across the garden and distant views of Windermere. The well fitted kitchen is designed around the kitchen island with bar stools, and there are large sliding glass doors that open out onto the terrace with outside seating and gas BBQ. The kitchen opens out onto the spacious living-dining area where there is ample seating around the dining table, and room for everyone to relax.

The outside terraced area has comfortable seating to enjoy summer evenings, and further seating in the raised area of the gardens behind the house. The gardens provide a lovely quiet retreat, with mature planting, care of the former owner who was the founder of Hayes Garden Centre in Ambleside. The gardens are south facing and capture the sun long into the evening.

To the front, the drive has ample space to park 3 to 4 cars. There is an ornamental pond, and the side gate provides access to the terrace and gardens behind the house.
Close to Ambleside, within easy walking distance of the centre (even closer to the Golden Rule, or indeed Garside’s Butchers on North Road for one of the best local pies etc) Sweden Close is only 5 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle with all that this lovely town has to offer. Heading for the hills and you will find the Fairfield Horseshoe on the doorstep, to name just one – no need for the car unless you want to venture further afield to Keswick (the Lakes Distillery is highly recommended).

We arrived to what initially looked superb.A real wow moment Fresh towels linen etc. large room and plenty of space inside. There were no instructions on how to use the cooler / heating. It was not a bespoke welcome pack. Very very basic pack. We received a bottle of wine in the fridge and two bottles of water. We then noticed an incredible smell of mustiness in all but two bedrooms and black mould in the curtains. The place is up for planning permission application to knock down and build three residential buildings on the plot. When we arrived - the patio had huge thistles as had the garden paths; the garden overgrown with slate tiles in the stairs that had come loose and laid to one side. A wall had collapsed in the garden and the summer house was run down and full of furniture. The garden happened to be ‘tidied’ on our last day. It feels like they are happy to rent as a party house / celebration house but are not really caring for it. There was a complete lack of comms from Wheelwrights reference people just turning up unexpectedly. Notices being stuck on the door to other trades which was like an open season to burglars to say - there is no one in the house - please come and break in! When we flagged this with them we received a very brusk non apologetic response. Happy to provide photos and video of same. I would not recommend and will not be returning.
