The approved scheme:
Phases 3 and 4 benefit from detailed and activated planning consent for a further 8 dwellings, under reference 7/2007/5087.
The consent allows for a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes, originally conceived as a work-living development and well aligned with current demand for flexible, future-focused layouts.
The proposed homes are arranged to maximise light, outlook and privacy. Bedrooms and adaptable accommodation are positioned on the ground floor, alongside utility and washroom facilities, while the first floor is dedicated to generous, open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces. Elevated above ground level, these rooms are designed to take full advantage of the setting, creating inviting spaces for entertaining, working from home or relaxing.
Private rear patios and landscaped communal areas further enhance the sense of space and calm throughout the scheme.
The homes are designed to be highly insulated, with excellent EPC ratings anticipated, supporting low running costs and long-term efficiency.
Location and lifestyle
Step outside and the Lake District landscape unfolds immediately. A footpath just beyond the development leads directly up onto Wansfell, offering access to some of the area's most rewarding fell walks. Blue Hill Wood lies close by, where birdsong fills the air and the chance of spotting local wildlife adds to the sense of escape.
In the opposite direction, Ambleside's renowned bars, restaurants, cafés and outdoor retailers are within easy walking distance, providing a rare balance of countryside tranquillity and town-centre convenience.
Ownership and opportunity
The freehold is held by Ambleside Residential Developments Ltd, an NHBC-registered company with a proven delivery record across the site. The opportunity is available either by way of a direct freehold land purchase or through the acquisition of the company that holds the freehold title, which may offer Stamp Duty Land Tax efficiencies for certain purchasers.
With planning secured, infrastructure in place and a clear route to delivery, Blue Hill Park represents a de-risked, high-quality Lake District development opportunity, ideally suited to developers or investors seeking a well-located scheme with strong end-user appeal.
