About this property

An enchanting, traditional Lakeland cottage for two, sympathetically converted to offer light, inviting accommodation in an enviable position near Derwentwater and Keswick.

This traditional Lakeland cottage has been sympathetically converted to offer light, inviting accommodation in an enviable position near Derwentwater and Keswick. In a tranquil setting, it is surrounded by magnificent scenery and offers an abundance of walks from the door, be it a short stroll to Derwentwater or a more strenuous ascent of Walla Crag, with its superb views and spectacular sunsets. Walk through woodland and farms to the ancient Castlerigg Stone Circle or to Ashness Bridge and Lodore Falls, all within 3 miles of the door. Why not traverse the ridge from Maiden Moor to Cat Bells and look back at the cottage from across the lake? Alternatively, you can follow cycle routes, hire a boat or go shopping and dine out in Keswick, only a mile away by footpath. This enchanting stone cottage, located across the drive from the owner s house, boasts deep set windows and exposed beams, as well as soaring ceilings that create a sense of airy comfort. In the open plan kitchen/diner you can prepare tasty, home cooked feasts while taking in the impressive vistas. The bright, well designed space offers everything the cook will need, and you can either set the table and dine indoors, or carry breakfast, lunch and dinner to the outside table and chairs. Return home after exhilarating days out to relax in the lounge with its beautiful views. For extra cosiness, draw the curtains, then settle on the sofa to watch the Smart TV. Wake up in the super king size bed (which can also be arranged as twins), and take in the leafy outlook over a cup of tea. Completing the interior, the bathroom at the cottage features a shower over the bath. You can choose between two stone terraces to take in the sweeping vistas and watch for wildlife, including numerous birds, red squirrels and deer among the trees. Need to know: 1 super king size bedroom (which can be made into twins upon request). 1 bathroom with shower over the bath, recessed washbasin and WC. Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, dishwasher and microwave. Washer/dryer. Smart TV. Two stone terraces, one of which has a table and chairs for outside dining.
