About this property

Greta View, a well-positioned, three-bedroom townhouse rests in the bustling Cumbrian town of Keswick, just a stone's throw from a hub of amenities and attractions.

Located in an enviable location, enveloped by the Lake District National Park, Greta View offers a delightful, reverse-level home for a family of six, looking to tour this wonderful region.

Park up off-road or take advantage of the private garage, before stepping indoors and taking the stairs up to the open-plan living space. Be welcomed by a contemporary space, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated dining area, and plush leather sofas to sink into with the electric fire to light on cooler days.

If the weather allows, venture out to the rear patio area to delight in an alfresco affair, wining, and dining as the Cumbrian sun shines from above, before returning indoors to catch some rest.

Three well-appointed bedrooms are on offer, starting with a super-king-size (zip/link) on the first floor, benefitting from a private en-suite shower room; a further super-king-size and king-size rest on the ground floor, both serviced by a sleek bathroom, housing both a bath and shower. Once you're ready to explore beyond your abode, head into the town to dine, stock up on the essentials, tour the Keswick Museum, head down to Derwentwater Jetty, and enjoy an afternoon of watersports.

A car journey away, be sure to discover Ullswater, with its breath-taking Aira Force Waterfall recommended to hike to, whilst the Dalemain Mansion & Historic Gardens is the perfect attraction for a rainy day. Travel north to traverse the Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve, where you can trek, cycle, fish and birdwatch, tour the pretty grounds of Mirehouse & Gardens, or hike up to Skiddaw summit for picturesque vistas. With Scafell Pike, Lake Windermere, Rydal Cave and many more beauty spots to add to your itinerary, experience all of this from Greta View.

The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

    The weather wasn’t kind to us so it was great to have somewhere so comfortable, cosy and well-equipped as a base. Beds were huge and comfortable; showers and bath amazing and kitchen certainly had everything we felt we needed. The view was amazing and the kids loved playing hide and seek with Skiddaw as it came in and out of the clouds. Perfect base for several walks and literally two minutes walk to the centre of Keswick with all its amenities. We are already trying to work out when we can come back - thank you!

    Each bedroom was warm and comfortable, and the living / dining area had everything we could ask for. The location was ideal, a nice view over the river and the short walk into Keswick for an evening meal was easy enough. Contact with the hosts was nice and easy and the overall experience has been really positive. Thank you.

    Great open plan living space and right in the centre of Kewsick. Our girls thoroughly enjoyed their first trip to the Lakes.
