Studded amongst the pretty streets of Keswick, this historic abode sleeps 12 guests and is a marvellous setting for any big celebration or family gathering. Delving further into this sprawling market town will reward you with a whole host of attractions and experiences. Stop and snap some mementoes of the gorgeous views as you take a stroll, or embrace your inner culture vulture and pay a visit to the museum and art gallery. The renowned Theatre by the Lake is one of Britain’s most remote theatres, a destination that will prove very tempting to your budding thespians. Derwentwater proudly holds the title of ‘Queen of the Lakes’, and it is easy to see why as you glide across the water on a launch service. The dramatic scenery is a sight to behold, especially if you venture to Skiddaw, 5 miles away, discovering the majestic peak that looms over Keswick. For those interested in an active holiday, the lake is an excellent destination for water sports.
Warm, welcoming and spacious throughout, the property dates back to 1884 and is brimming with Victorian Lakeland charm from the moment you enter the vestibule. The heart of the home is the lounge area, a quirky room filled with natural light that floods in through the bay windows, illuminating the industrial artwork and comfortable furniture. It is an ideal space to curl up with your hot chocolate and relax in front of the open fire. A games room provides entertainment via the football table and Sonos speaker, so you can play your favourite tunes as you challenge the family to a few games. There is a cosy snug if you feel like grabbing a moment's peace to read a book in front of another open fire. When it’s time to eat, you’ll be truly spoiled in the kitchen thanks to the array of appliances including a De’Longhi coffee machine - a sheer delight for coffee lovers. Upstairs, the bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors, providing flexible sleeping arrangements and lots of choices when it comes to bathing and showering. Five of the bedrooms boast an en-suite bathroom or shower room, and there is an additional shower room on the first floor.
Set in an elevated position, the views from your front garden extend down the residential surroundings with glimpses of the fells beyond. You’ll be able to perch on the garden furniture with an evening drink to watch the sun slip from the sky, perhaps tucking into some of the goodies from your welcome pack. To the rear is a self-contained area with parking spaces.
