Cottage in Cumbria

Explore this much loved national park from a prime position in the village of Thornthwaite. Just 4 miles from the ever popular adventure capital of Keswick, this property ensures there s plenty to see and do for visitors of all ages. Here you ll find plenty of outdoor adventure centres for guided experiences on the nearby Derwentwater (3 miles) or Skiddaw mountain (8 miles), along with an independent cinema and waterside theatre for evenings out. Set off from your doorstep to experience the stunning Whinlatter Forest Park (2 miles) and perhaps book a visit to Go Ape! Boasting a traditional decor and cheerful interior, this bright property is instantly welcoming from the moment you step over the threshold. Enter the property via a path along the side and into the hallway. Here you can head straight into the kitchen/diner with patio doors leading out to the veranda. Fully equipped with a breakfast table, electric cooker, hob, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and slimline dishwasher, you ll no doubt find all you need to feed four. There s even a TV in here for entertainment whilst preparing meals. Continue through into the charming sitting room which also has patio doors leading out to the veranda. Ample seating, a TV/DVD and a warming wood burner makes this space the ideal spot for cosy nights at home. Stairs from the living room lead to a master double bedroom with beautiful views, a true delight to wake up to each morning. Also on this floor is a family bathroom with WC and shower over bath. Completing the property is a twin bedroom tucked under the property s eaves on the second floor, a cheerful room with original beams and restricted head height. Accessible via the kitchen and sitting room, the veranda sets this holiday home apart from the rest. Stretching one side of the property, this decked area features a seating area for observing the flowing water and local wildlife. There is a barrier along its length, but it has a steep drop down to the river so young children must be supervised. Finally, a wood store in the garden, which is reached by steps, offers a secure spot for storing bikes or sporting equipment.
