Description

A superb semi-detached bungalow with wonderful views on an attractive site within a pleasant residential area on the edge of Keswick, between Fitz Park and the lower slopes of Latrigg. ‘Blencathra’ is about a 10 minute easy stroll to Keswick’s Market Square. The property has been tastefully decorated to provide fresh and immaculately clean accommodation for up to four guests.

‘Blencathra’ has ample parking, full double glazing and gas central heating. All radiators can be individually thermostatically controlled. The bungalow is situated at the top of a small, quiet cul-de-sac. It has a westerly aspect and the fells from Coledale, across Whinlatter Forest to Barf and Skiddaw make a spectacular panorama to the front. At the rear of the property there is a spacious garden providing a peaceful, leafy green area in which to relax and enjoy views of Skiddaw and Latrigg. Red squirrels are charming, frequent visitors. Patio furniture is provided for the summer months so guests can make the most of the tranquillity.

To the left of the front door is the comfortable lounge with outstanding westerly views. Furnished with a quality leather suite, Smart TV, DVD and living flame gas fire it is warm and cosy at any time of the year.

The superb double glazed conservatory at the rear of the bungalow provides a quiet and peaceful additional space in which to relax.

The kitchen/diner has very well equipped quality wooden units, an electric oven with a gas hob, extractor fan, washer/dryer, CD/radio and a larder fridge. The freezer is located in the garage which is also a useful area for drying wet clothes – and sorting out walking boots!

There are two good sized bedrooms, one with double bed and the other with two single beds, both having quality mattresses and furniture plus beds dressed in luxury linen and towels. Please note that this property is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years old.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Perfect Getaway
Blencathra was wonderfully located a short walk to town, on a footpath alongside the road, as well as immediately across the street from hiking the fells. The conservatory was an incredible way to experience the ever-changing weather while enjoying the beautiful garden. We walked into town every day for lunch, and cooked dinner each evening at Blencathra, it had everything we needed! If only we weren't traveling from San Diego, we'd do this once a month!

Thank you for your lovely 5* review of Blencathra, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! Blencathra is in a fantastic location for those looking for a Keswick location but away from the busy town centre. We hope to welcome you back next time your over visiting! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Comfortable, clean and quiet location.
This bungalow is situated in a quiet close, a 10 to 15 minute walk from town but with the advantage of car parking, a big bonus in Keswick. The only downside is that there is no dining room and the table is in the small kitchen which when opened out to eat from means working in the kitchen is very difficult. Fortunately the Pheasant pub is a short walk away and does good food but you do need to book if you want to eat before 19:30.

Thank you for your lovely 5* review of Blencathra, we are happy to hear you had an enjoyable stay! We hope to welcome you back in the future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

The perfect location with stunning views
Blencathra is a spacious and comfortable bungalow in a lovely location. The views from most of the windows are spectacular. The quiet cul-de-sac position is perfect being peaceful and close to paths that take you up into the hills yet close enough to town to make a shopping trip a pleasure. We really enjoyed staying at Blencathra and will definitely return next time we visit Keswick.

Thank you so much for your lovely review of Blencathra, we are so happy to hear you had a lovely stay! The property is situated in a lovely location that makes walking into town very easy, but provides the peace and quiet away from the town centre. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
