House in Cumbria

About this property

Fantastically located for entertaining guests of all ages and brimming with character and charm, this home caters brilliantly for family reunions and groups of friends.

Enjoy time on Derwentwater, trips to museums and many a delicious bite to eat in the local market town of Keswick. Wander less than half a mile into the heart of town where you can treat little ones to time in the swimming pool, a play in Fitz Park or a morning out at Puzzling Place. If you board a boat at the launch, hop on and off at the lakeside villages which surround Derwentwater and visit spots such as Lodore Falls (3 miles), Catbells (4.5 miles) and Surprise View (3 miles). If you fancy making a splash, hire your own boats and canoes and take to the water. For a short climb that rewards you with panoramic views, walk from your door to Castlerigg Stone Circle (2 miles). Step up to the porch and head inside for a holiday to remember. Stock the cupboards in the kitchen where you will find a gas Range cooker and a microwave to help you feed guests throughout your stay. The island is a great place to enjoy a cup of tea and offers extra space to prepare meals. Plate up feasts in the dining room where you can enjoy communal meals together. After dinner, settle in the large lounge where there is space for everyone to get comfortable and warm in front of the coal effect gas fire. Switch on the TV or pluck a book from the shelf and dive in. When it s time to head to bed, the first of five bedrooms reside on the ground floor. The twin bedroom is spacious and can make good use of the handy ground floor shower room with WC in the mornings. Upstairs, the rest of the bedrooms await, all of which are spacious and tranquil. The first room has a double bed and single bed, great for families, and also offers an en suite shower room with WC. The next family room has three single beds, one of which is zip and link so can be made up as a super king size bed. This large room also features an en suite shower room with WC. Completing this floor are two twin bedrooms and a family bathroom with WC where you can soak in the roll top bath or rinse in the shower. Take your morning tea or coffee outside and enjoy time in the landscaped garden to the front of the cottage. Great for dogs, this space is enclosed so they can stretch their legs safely.
