This beautiful holiday home is a pretty Lakeland stone house built in 1849 and now completely renovated, equipped and furnished to a very high standard with two spacious and comfortable reception rooms, two contemporary shower rooms, and three beautifully furnished bedrooms. With an enclosed patio garden for outdoor dining, you'll find it ticks all the boxes for a family or small group break. Quiet peaceful location yet only minutes from all Keswick’s sights and amenities.
Keswick is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts whether it's fell walking, cycling, water-sports or adrenaline fuelled adventure you're looking for. Walkers are spoiled with everything from iconic Lakeland giants to gentle lakeside ambles available right from the door. Why not take on mighty Skiddaw during your stay? Or try the gentle 10 mile walk round Derwentwater, there's the opportunity at various points along the way to catch one of the stately launches back to town if you'd rather not do the whole thing.
The town itself is vibrant and friendly with an atmosphere all its own. There's a twice weekly market, a great selection of outdoor and independent shops, even its own art deco cinema just across the road. To keep families amused there is an indoor climbing wall, an excellent playpark is just a short walk from the house while the foodies among you can enjoy a fantastic choice of restaurants, pubs and cafes. You could always take in a play or concert at the magical Theatre by the Lake during your stay. Keswick truly has everything you could wish for from a Lakeland holiday and at the property, it's all on your doorstep.
On arrival at the house you're greeted by a charming porch which leads into the dining room. There's a substantial dining table and chairs, a large map and plenty of local books for planning your days out and the most lovely tiny desk set into an alcove.
