This is a wonderful home-from-home; located in a popular part of Keswick, you're a stone's throw from everything on offer in the town centre but there's still plenty of walks available straight from the front door - you really have got the best of both worlds here!
As soon as you step into the property, you'll feel right at the home. The grand hallway leads into the spacious open-plan living-dining room.
