The School

Keswick, Cumbria

Located in the charming village of Mungrisdale, Keswick, Cumbria, this luxurious five-bedroom holiday home accommodates up to ten guests and is a beautifully restored early Victorian, Grade II listed property. Originally serving as the village school and later as a post office, the house is crafted from local stone and slate, exuding character and history. The interior has been meticulously styled with designer fabrics, oak flooring in communal areas, and plush carpeting in the bedrooms, creating an inviting atmosphere that is perfect for families or groups of couples seeking a memorable getaway.

The property is ideally situated just two miles from the A66, providing easy access to the market towns of Penrith and Keswick. Surrounded by the breathtaking northern fells of the Lake District, it offers immediate access to stunning walking trails leading up to the high peaks of Blencathra and Skiddaw. The local area is a walker’s paradise, and guests can enjoy a warm welcome and delicious food at the nearby Mill Inn, enhancing the experience of this idyllic countryside retreat.

Upon entering the home, guests are greeted by a spacious entrance hall that leads to a grand double-height sitting and dining room, featuring striking fan-shaped windows, sumptuous furnishings, and an impressive fireplace with a multi-fuel stove. The contemporary kitchen boasts cream shaker-style units, granite worktops, and a large range cooker, making it a delight for culinary enthusiasts. On this level, there is also a twin bedroom with scenic views and a shower room that serves as the main cloakroom.

Descending to the lower level, visitors will find a beautifully designed open-plan lounge area with expansive windows and a contemporary kitchen, ideal for relaxation and dining. This floor includes two additional bedrooms: a twin with an en-suite shower room and a double with a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom featuring a separate shower cubicle, allowing for a semi-independent living space.
