At the top of the hill on the outskirts of town, just a mile from the centre of the lively Lakeland of Keswick, this fresh and inviting property makes a great holiday home for families and friends seeking a useful holiday base at the heart of the Lake District. With ample space for five guests, this light and welcoming property is perfect for eager walkers, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking to make the most of this magical area.

Entering this bright and inviting semi-detached property, the fresh and cosy lounge features a big bay window and is a lovely space for everyone to gather in front of the TV and electric fire to chat or watch a favourite movie at the end of the day. A sliding door leads into the stylish dining room, ideal for sharing a favourite family meal which you can rustle up in the light and fully equipped galley-style kitchen. Going upstairs, the first floor offers three peaceful and relaxing bedrooms to choose from: a pretty single room, a charming twin and the cheerful king-size bedroom with an additional single child’s pull-out bed with views across the fells. There’s also a handy first-floor family bathroom. Outside, the front garden overlooks the surrounding rooftops, while French doors lead from the dining room out into the back garden which features a lawn and a charming patio perfect for dining alfresco.

A fantastic centre for activities including kayaking, paddleboarding and canoeing, Keswick sits at the head of Derwentwater and is just south of Bassenthwaite Lake (5.5 miles). The town is home to attractions including The Puzzling Place, the Derwent Pencil Museum, Keswick Adventure Centre, the Theatre by the Lake and Castlerigg Stone Circle. Also nearby are the Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum (4 miles) and the peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra (both 5.5 miles).
