About this property

Situated in the bustling Cumbrian town of Keswick, a historic settlement located at the heart of the Lake District National Park, rests the delightful, three-bedroom holiday home of Oaklea.

With private driveway parking for two cars, a collection of well-appointed living areas, and a superb position near amenities and Derwentwater, this charming property welcomes a family of five or a group of friends, for an exciting escape within one of England's most beautiful landscapes.

Step into your wonderful new dwelling and make yourself at home by getting to work in the fully-equipped kitchen, featuring every appliance required to cook up a tasty, home-cooked dinner. Savour your meals at the dining table in the conservatory, or even alfresco in the garden on the outdoor tables and chairs when the sun is shining.

The garage is an excellent, space for bikes and paddleboard storage or to hang wet clothes or wetsuits after adventuring around the Lake District. When it's time to relax, unwind by kicking back in the sitting room, where you and your loved ones can stick a film on the Smart TV.

When sleep calls, rejuvenate with a shower or bath before you tuck yourself in for a well-earned sleep in one of the three, plush bedrooms, including a king-size with its very own en-suite shower. If you can tear yourself from your new lodgings, head out on foot to explore what Keswick has to offer. A short walk will bring you to the peaceful stream of the River Greta, an idyllic spot for a tranquil stroll in nature.

Follow the river east where you'll eventually find the SPAR Derwent, selling all the homely essentials you may need, along with the Twa Dogs Inn, which serves up hearty, traditional pub fare for when you and your loved ones are feeling hungry.

For a full day out, make the most of the plethora of attractions that can be found in the town centre, including the exhibitions of the Puzzling Place, the quirky Derwent Pencil Museum, the scenic grounds of Hope Park, or even catch a performance at the Theatre By The Lake if you fancy some evening entertainment.

Make your next trip to the Lake District unforgettable with a stay at Oaklea.
