House in Cumbria

With so much to explore, plan your days wisely to make the most of your fabulous position. Pick up goodies from the twice weekly market in Keswick or treat yourselves to a night off from the kitchen and a trip to the movies or the Theatre by the Lake (both less than a mile). Take to the water and book on a cruise of Derwentwater where you can get on and off to explore. From Lodore (3 miles), visit the falls, walk up the family friendly fell of Catbells from Hawse End (3.5 miles) or hire stand up paddleboards and kayaks and make a splash. The idyllic Borrowdale Valley sits 6.5 miles south of your door and is a wonderful place to spend the day adventuring. Hang up hats and coats in the hall before making your way inside to settle down. Sumptuous style flows throughout the open plan living space where the kitchen, lounge and diner fit together to create an inviting heart of the home. A large sofa and pair of chairs sit around the wood burner so you can get warm and cosy and sit in front of the TV/DVD or with a good book for a quiet afternoon. When it s time to feed hungry guests, underfloor heating in the kitchen keeps your toes toasty and the light, fresh decor makes it a lovely space to be the designated chef. It is well equipped with an oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Dine together at the table where a wood burner effect gas fire throws warmth into the air so you can sit a while and raise a toast to time spent together. When it s time to say goodnight and rest your heads, head up to the first floor where you can find the king sized bedroom with its lovely bay window and seating area. Also on this floor are a handy cloakroom and two bathrooms with free standing tubs, WCs and separate showers. Climbing up to the second floor, find the super king size zip and link bedroom (request if you want it to be made up as a twin) and the double room, both with sloping ceilings. Sharing a wardrobe on the landing, there is room to hang up your best clothes. If you fancy taking your morning coffee alfresco, head outside and down a couple of steps to the yard where a table and chairs offer you the perfect spot to sit down in the fresh air. Take a tipple outside or around to the bench at the front of the house, another lovely spot to sit for a while. There is roadside parking.
