Azalea Cottage is a one bedroom detached barn conversion located behind Todd Crag House in delightful and picturesque Clappersgate, on the outskirts of Ambleside. Post code LA22 9NA
This detached cottage is steeped in history and part of the original gentleman’s residence, Craghead. Azalea Cottage has its own cottage garden with mature shrubs such as Azalea and rhodedendra. The private cottage garden is a wonderful spot to enjoy sunny days. You can park alongside the cottage.The property has been totally renovated with double glazed windows, slate floors and gas central heating controlled with a Hive system. Access is from the cottage garden down a flight of ancient slate steps where a ‘stable’ door leads into the lounge / dining room with period fireplace. This room fronts and leads into a secluded courtyard with the original slate slabs and garden furniture. The many sash style windows bathe this room in natural light. 50"TV with digital and Freesat channels. From the lounge a few steps lead to the kitchen on the mezzanine level. The kitchen has possibly everything you could wish for during your visit. Electric hob and oven, dish washer, washer drier, and fridge freezer list amongst the many facilities that have been provided. The kitchen also has a bistro table with high chairs and the kitchen windows look two ways towards Lake Windermere and the garden which is frequented by many species of garden birds. A short flight of stairs leads up to the bedroom with roof light and west facing window. This cosy room with feature ceiling is fully fitted with king size bed, digital flat screen TV, fitted wardrobe etc,. Off the bedroom is a fully tiled bathroom with WC, basin, and powerful shower above the bath. There is constant hot water throughout the cottage. We now provide a lawned area ousde the cottage with view of Warterhead and Lake Windermere. This is one of the few properties in Clappersgate, if not Ambleside, that boasts private off road parking. The public bus service passes the property giving access to Langdale and Hawkshead and beyond. The path immediately adjacent to Todd Crag House leads onto Todd Crag itself, the Loughrigg fells and beyond. Ambleside is a short walk away making this cottage an ideal spot for those who wish to ‘park and walk’. Ambleside is only 10 minutes’ walk from the cottage where you will find restaurants, pubs, cinema and many specialist shops. This village has almost everything. Rather than dine out many of our visitors take advantage of the well-equipped kitchen, and enjoy an early evening aperitif in the garden listening to the birdsong. The cottage is only 100 metres from the River Brathay along which you can stroll towards Brathay Church from where you can sometimes hear the peels of the bells. It is possible to access the river at Brathay and some visitors are known to have paddleboarded or canoed to the lake. Clappersgate offers so much!Unlimited WiFi
