Loughrigg Brow

Loughrigg Brow is a Grade II listed building, a magnificent property situated in 10 acres of grounds it was formerly, in Victorian times, the Ambleside vicarage. As can be imagined it is a short stroll away from the Parish Church in the centre of Ambleside. The apartments featured here are 2 of a total of 10 apartments in this very large property. Each aparment is personally cleaned by the owner to a very high standard. Guests have the best of both worlds – the village centre is only a short stroll across the local park and yet the setting is very peaceful with an “away from it all” feel, hard to better in the centre of the National Park.

Set this close to Ambleside village and all that it has to offer will mean that you are ideally placed for shopping and eating out without using the car. With walks from the door to Loughrigg Fell and Todd Crag, rambles to Rydal and Grasmere and lake cruises on Lake Windermere situated close by you will really be able to make the most of the lakes at its best. For the seasoned hill walkers there is the opportunity to explore Fairfield Horseshoe from the door of the property- a challenge in any season of the year!

 

The property enjoys a view out towards the town of Ambleside and Lake Windermere in the distance. It is in very mature gardens with many trees and wildlife to appreciate in the grounds. Red and grey squirrel, deer, rabbits & badgers have all been spotted in the grounds and you will probably see some of these during your stay. For the more energetic there is a tennis court which is available for guests use during their stay.

The property is approached through the imposing gates, opposite the footbridge over the River Rothay at Under Loughrigg and via a winding driveway of ¼ mile ascending up to the front door. Individual parking spaces are allocated to each apartment with further guest parking if additional cars need to be accommodated.
