About this property

A delightful holiday home, Underfell is a three-storey three-bedroom stone cottage set in the gorgeous Langdale Valley. Lying just outside the centre of the village of Chapel Stile and being just under five-miles from Ambleside makes Underfell a fantastic base for a getaway to the Lakes. Take in the quaint stone exterior of the property before walking up the steps to the front door and entering into the hallway, passing the handy cloakroom. Make yourself at home within the bright and homely farmhouse kitchen with dual aspect windows providing lovely views over the village below, with plenty of appliances in here to assist you in rustling up delicious meals, including an electric double oven and hob, fridge/freezer and microwave. Settle down in the wonderful sitting room where a collection of soft seating awaits you along with the Smart TV for some evening entertainment, with a decorative fireplace home to a multi-fuel stove to add warmth to the scene and the feature bay window offering scenic views. Gather in the dining room and spend memorable evenings around the dining table talking about the best moments of your holiday so far and of the plans to come. Discover a lovely family bathroom on this floor too, with a bath and a separate walk-in shower enclosure. From the hallway, travel downstairs to the ground-floor to find the elegant four-poster king-size bedroom, complete with an en-suite basin and WC, it’s perfect for the couple of the group to enjoy some privacy. Climb up to the top floor to find two more pretty bedrooms, comprising a double bedroom with a basin and a TV, and a twin bedroom, with a cloakroom at this level too along with a charming little sitting area, a great place to escape the hustle and bustle in the rest of the house! Enjoy sitting out in the terraced patio garden, and find a handy external utility room in the courtyard to assist you further on your self-catered stay with a washing machine and a tumble dryer here. The village of Chapel Stile is home to the famous Wainwrights Inn, a perfect spot for sipping a well-deserved pint after a day of walking the nearby fells, while there is also an excellent local shop, a café and a great local bus service to take you around the Lakes while your car stays safely parked up at the cottage. Underfell is a walker’s paradise with some of the most acclaimed and dramatic walks in the Lake District available right from the doorstep including the Grasmere Waterfall Walkways and Grasmere Lake, and peaks including Crinkle Crags, High Raise and Pike of Blisco. Follow the river through the majestic Langdale Valley to Dungeon Ghyll and have a bite to eat at one of the two traditional and well-loved pubs here. Explore the charming hamlet of Skelwith Bridge or find excitement in Ambleside, from here hiring a boat or hopping on a Lakes cruise to take you along the gorgeous waters of England’s largest lake, Lake Windermere. Find a host of attractions within your reach in the Lake District, from adventure activities and watersports, to swinging through the treetops at Go Ape Grizedale in the amazing Grizedale Forest, taking on challenging rambles or low level circular strolls, and sampling all the fabulous eateries which range from local cafés to Michelin starred restaurants. Enjoy a diverse stay in the Lakes from the homely Underfell.
