About this property
This beautiful mid terrace property, within walking distance of Keswick town centre, sleeps up to six guests. Pull on your hiking boots to take on Skiddaw or relax on the launches of Derwentwater.
The Lakeland stone cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy the best of both worlds. The town centre of Keswick is just 500 metres away, where you ll find independent shops, cafes, an Art Deco cinema and popular open air market. Yet, you ll also be within easy reach of some fabulous walks, in the surrounding fells and along the shores of Derwentwater. Head to nearby Catbells (4.5 miles) for a gentle climb with spectacular views or challenge yourself with a hike up Skiddaw (4.5 miles). A ride on the launches of Derwentwater is a must during your stay. Glide across the lake, hopping off to enjoy a waterfall walk, spot of afternoon tea or to visit the walled garden that inspired Beatrix Potter. A flight of stone steps leads to the front door of this terraced cottage. Inside, discover a light and bright lounge, thanks to the large bay window framing distant mountain views. Relax on one of the comfortable chairs or sofa in front of the smart TV or curl up with a book from the collection. The stylish kitchen/diner houses a gorgeous glass dining table as well as an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. From here, access the utility room, where you ll find a washing machine/dryer and sink, as well as handy storage for coats and boots. Beyond the utility room is the modern family bathroom, with a shower over the bath and a WC. Take the stairs to the first floor, where two of the three bedrooms are located.
