The sale of a £2m house in the Lake District has been agreed.

The five-bedroom Littlerigg at Sweden Bridge Lane, Ambleside, was on the market with Hackney & Leigh.

It listing said: “Littlerigg is truly something special.

“Beautifully hand crafted in the early 1900s this wonderfully welcoming five bedroomed Arts and Crafts style home enjoys simply the most amazing uninterrupted 360 degree views incorporating everything from Lake Windermere in the south to The Fairfield Horseshoe in the north.

“Set in 1.7 acres of pure heaven and as peaceful, private and idyllic as you could wish for, yet surprisingly it is just a few minutes stroll away from central Ambleside.”

Its price tag puts the property as one of most expensive sold in Cumbria over the past year.

A detached house by the shores of Windermere at Storrs Park is the most expensive property for sale in the county at £2.85m.
