This striking stone townhouse situated 150 metres from central Keswick is a great property for an active family or friends’ get-together. There are lots of activities on the doorstep and many fells in the area to explore. Or you can walk down to the lakeshore at Derwentwater (0.5 miles) to catch the launch across the lake and climb Catbells, popular with walkers of all ages and abilities.
Enter this splendid property which retains original features including a tiled floor in the lobby and a magnificent architrave. On the ground floor is a shower room and a stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which is the heart of the house. Here, you can eat together and make plans for the day ahead. With a cosy wood burner for cooler evenings, you can relax on the comfortable chairs and watch the Smart TV, chat, or read. The contemporary kitchen is one step down from the hallway and offers space to prepare food and chat. On the first floor, there's a bunk bedroom, a king-size bedroom, and a bathroom. By the stairs to the second floor is a door leading to the roof terrace – the perfect place for an early morning coffee overlooking the fells. On the second floor is a twin bedroom with rooftop and fell views, a king-size bedroom, and a bathroom. To the front of the house is a charming, enclosed courtyard garden with a patio and seating.
For walkers looking for a challenge, Skiddaw (5 miles) is a walk to over 3,000 feet and on a clear day affords panoramic views over the lakes and fells. There's a wealth of shops to explore in Keswick, including small independent traders, galleries and, of course, tearooms. Alternatively, you can see many well-known plays at the Theatre by the Lake (0.5 miles).
