This attractive detached stone cottage, dating back to 1850, is ideal for couples, friends or families looking for a restful base for outdoor adventures in the Lake District National Park. The property is just 2.5 miles from the pretty market town of Keswick, where you’ll find a variety of shops and eateries, as well as an indoor climbing wall and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. For walkers, Skiddaw, Latrigg, and Carl Side are all accessible from your door, while Catbells is only 5 miles away.
Step inside this inviting property, set over a single level and hang your coats in the hall before heading straight through to the spacious lounge/diner. This bright and airy space is ideal for socialising with a cosy wood burner surrounded by soft seating, beckoning you to settle in and unwind, chatting over a lazy afternoon tea or watching favourite show on the Smart TV. Art on the walls, colourful soft furnishings and shelves full of books give this room a real home-from-home feel. There’s plenty of space around the dining table for unhurried meals. The adjacent kitchen features all the appliances you need to cook up a storm. Sleep soundly in one of three lovely bedrooms - two king-size (one en-suite) and a twin. Outside, the large, fully enclosed garden features a patio and BBQ for alfresco dining. At a raised level is a large lawned area, perfect for children to play. There’s private parking for three cars.
Derwentwater (3 miles) is ideal for kayaking, canoeing and sailing, but if you prefer something more leisurely, hop aboard one of the lake cruises. Enjoy mountain biking at Whinlatter Forest (7 miles), where you’ll also find Go Ape’s tree-top courses and zip wires. Alternatively, Wordsworth House and the Aria Force waterfall are both within 16 miles.
