Description
Ambleside is an individually designed detached home at 2 Meadway, Prestbury, offering four bedrooms, distinctive split-level accommodation and landscaped gardens.

The light-filled entrance hall creates a welcoming first impression, with warm wood flooring introducing the home’s distinctive split-level layout.

Set on a slightly elevated level, the principal reception room is both elegant and comfortable, with wood flooring flowing through from the hallway. A wide bay window fills the room with natural light and looks out across the front of the property. The Rais Scandinavian wood-burning stove creates a warm, characterful focal point to the room. The generous proportions of this room allow flexible seating, making this an equally inviting space for quiet evenings or entertaining guests.

On the lower level, the open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the welcoming heart of the home, with tiled flooring, fitted cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, a Smeg gas hob and extractor, dishwasher, space for an upright fridge-freezer and generous everyday storage. The adjoining conservatory provides a bright, relaxed setting in which to enjoy the garden throughout the year, with practical ceramic-tiled flooring, with underfloor heating and doors opening onto a patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations, there may also be potential to extend this part of the property to create an even more substantial open-plan kitchen and dining space.

The kitchen leads to a practical utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a door to the rear garden. A guest cloakroom with a wash basin, WC and heated towel rail completes this level.

On the upper floor, an oak-floored landing leads to four comfortable bedrooms. Positioned to the rear of the property, the principal bedroom features oak flooring and fitted wardrobes, together with an en suite shower room fitted with a shower, wash basin, WC and radiator.

The three further bedrooms are all generously proportioned, offering comfortable and versatile accommodation. Each is served by the well-appointed main family bathroom, which includes a bath, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.
The established rear garden features a broad lawn framed by mature trees and colourful planted borders. Two seating areas, including a paved terrace beside the conservatory and a sheltered spot beneath a leafy pergola, provide inviting spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation.

To the front of the property, a broad driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the attached double garage with an electrically operated door. With its individual architecture, easy-flowing living spaces and charming garden, Ambleside is a warm and welcoming home in one of Prestbury’s most desirable settings.
