Cottage in Cumbria

Keswick is a bustling town situated between Skiddaw and Derwentwater lake full of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Facilities such as the swimming pool, climbing walls and crazy golf provide fun for all the family. Considered the outdoor capital of the Lakes, there are lots of adventure activity providers for sailing, mountain biking, kayaking and ghyll scrambling. Keen walkers and hikers can tick off a few of Wainwrights favourites and tackle Skiddaw and Blencathra, both within 7 miles. Explore the lovely gardens and parkland at Mirehouse and Gardens, 4.5 miles whilst Wordsworth House, 13 miles, offers the chance for all ages to experience life in the 1770s. Travel 25 miles to The Solway Coast for a picnic on the beach and a seaside stroll. Part of an elegant Georgian house that has been thoughtfully redesigned to retain its period charm, this cottage has been extended and updated to create a spacious, sleek and elegant holiday home. Enter the hallway and remove your boots and coats before heading to the delightful open plan living space. The heart of the house, it stretches through to the rear patio. The living area has two deep red velvet sofas arranged around the wood burner ideal for cosy evenings in with a film on the TV. Step up into the kitchen/diner where underfloor heating keeps your toes warm and Velux windows and full width, bi fold doors create a sense of space and light. Equipped with a large electric range style oven with five gas hobs, a fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher, gather at the hand crafted dining table for sociable mealtimes. On warm days, open the doors to let the fresh air breeze in. A WC and utility cupboard completes the ground floor. Upstairs on the first floor, the first double bedroom has wonderful views to the fells and an en suite shower room. There is a further double bedroom, and the spacious family bathroom has a shower over the bath. Up to the second floor, the bright twin bedroom has Velux windows looking out to the church and fells while the bathroom has a slipper bath with a hand held shower attachment. Outside to the rear and accessed from the living space, there is a wonderful walled garden with raised beds and a patio perfect for al fresco dining morning, noon and night.
