Apartment in Cumbria

The spectacular property sleeps four guests and benefits from outstanding views, nestled between the fells of Catbells and Castle Crag. It s easy to have a car free holiday in the quaint village of Grange, with a wonderful selection of walks branching out from the village and a great local bus service. A climb to the summit of Grange Fell (6 miles) will reward you with breathtaking views and ticks off two Wainwrights in the process. Alternatively, take a ride on one of the elegant launches across Derwentwater (3.5 miles) to Keswick, and enjoy a peaceful stroll back along the water s edge. Further afield, Lake District gems such as Skiddaw and Scafell Pike are within 12 miles. This gorgeous first floor apartment is decorated in a contemporary style, with chic furniture and elegant touches throughout. Climb the stairs to the hallway, where you ll discover the fabulous open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, boasting a roaring wood burner and picture window framing the magnificent views down the valley. The slate/brick wall surrounding the fireplace is a splendid feature, adding real character to the room. In the evening, snuggle up under a blanket on the sofa with a bit of light reading from the bookshelf, a film on the Smart TV/DVD. The modern kitchen area is perfectly placed next to the lounge area, so you can cook and chat together over a glass of wine. Here you ll find an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment and a dishwasher. There s also a handy washing machine and tumble dryer in a cupboard at the foot of the stairs; this is also a great place for drying muddy walking boots. There are two beautifully furnished bedrooms, one king size and one twin zip and link (which can be made up into a super king size on request). Completing the apartment is a stylish bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. The apartment is located above a popular cafe, which serves the most delicious cakes. The cafe has an outdoor seating area, which is the perfect spot to soak up the last of the sunshine at the end of a busy day. There is roadside parking available for one car outside the property.
