About this property
The front door opens to the hallway and as you step through the door the original Victorian features become apparent but are complemented by the modern presentation of this traditional property. The living room has a large bay window and comfortable sofas are arranged around the TV and fireplace. The dining room is presented with a large family dining table and patio doors open from here to the patio at the rear of the house. The spacious kitchen is well appointed and the breakfast bar makes this a more social space. To the side is the utility too with laundry facilities. To the rear there is a paved patio area with outdoor dining furniture and a lockable store ideal for mountain bikes and outdoor gear.
The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

The house was cosy, comfortable, spacious & homely. Everything we needed was provided. We found the utility area handy for when we came back from runs and walks with the dogs. Location was ideal for accessing Keswick and the local fells from the door. We already look forward to booking our next visit!
