Clappersgate, nestled beneath the picturesque Loughrigg fell, is a charming village located just a mile from Ambleside on the Coniston road.

As you arrive at the property, you'll be greeted by a serene and secluded atmosphere. Situated at the end of a private driveway, just off the A593, Loughrigg Cottage stands as the final residence on the estate. Rest assured, your privacy and tranquility are ensured.
