Cottage in Cumbria

About this property

From lake cruises to fell hikes, this welcoming abode is the perfect base from which to explore the magic of the Lake District National Park.

Come rain or shine, the Lakeland market town of Keswick is a top destination. Home to a cinema, Theatre by the Lake, and attractions such as Puzzling Place, the Pencil Museum and a swimming pool, find plenty to keep you entertained all within 1 mile of your door. From the local marina, hire kayaks and stand up paddleboards to make a splash on the water, or take the boat and get whisked away to lakeside villages where you can hop off and explore the likes of Catbells (5 miles), Lodore Falls (3.5 miles) and Surprise View (3.5 miles). For gorgeous views and just a small climb, walk from the town to Castlerigg Stone Circle, a mysterious location with a magnificent backdrop of majestic mountains. Step up and inside to make yourselves right at home in this humble abode. Spend quality time in the open plan living space where the lounge flows through to the dining room and the kitchen meaning you can enjoy sociable times whether you re the designated chef or unwinding. A pair of chairs and a comfortable sofa invite you to sit awhile by the wood burner effect gas fire. Get competitive over a board game or enjoy peace and quiet in front of the Smart TV/DVD. With everything you need to feed hungry guests, including an electric oven with four electric hobs, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a washing machine for cleaning muddy clothes fresh from adventure, the kitchen is a spacious room. Serve up a storm and raise a glass before turning in for the night and heading upstairs to bed. Both the double and the twin are calming spaces in which to drift off and the family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC invites you to start your day with a soak or a shower. Enjoy your morning coffee alfresco in the raised garden. Sit beneath the apple tree for an idyllic spot where you can bask in the sun and enjoy tipples of an evening. An unfenced drop means little ones must be supervised at all times, so take care when letting them out to play. There is parking to the rear of the property.
