Found in the charming market town of Keswick, Cumbria, this attractive property serves as an ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes of the Lake District. Nestled between the majestic peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra, and within six miles of both Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, the home offers easy access to outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, or driving through the picturesque surroundings. Notably, the ancient Castlerigg Stone Circle, a site dating back to the Neolithic era, is less than two miles away, adding a historical dimension to the area’s natural beauty.
Just under a mile south of the town lies Derwentwater, where you can find eight jetties for boat excursions, allowing you to explore the lake's tranquil waters. The nearby Theatre by the Lake provides an opportunity to enjoy cultural performances, while Crow Park, located directly across from the theatre, offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and the stunning Borrowdale valley. These attractions make Keswick not only a gateway to outdoor adventures but also a hub for cultural experiences.
Upon entering the property, guests are welcomed into a hallway equipped for hanging coats and storing muddy boots.

On the first floor, guests will find a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, along with two inviting bedrooms—a twin and a double.
