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 within a 10 minute stroll to Keswick’s Market Square. The property has been tastefully decorated to provide fresh and immaculately clean accommodation for up to four guests.

The cottage 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 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 is very well equipped, with 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.

Perfect cottage in great location
The cottage was immaculately clean, warm and comfortable. The conservatory overlooking the wonderful large garden, with a view of Skiddaw was excellent. The addition of private parking and a very quiet cul de sac added to the overall quality. The location was perfect - an easy walk into town, with great hiking routes from the door and easy access to the traffic free cycle path. Perfect, and we look forward to returning soon.

We’re so pleased the quiet cul?de?sac setting and private parking added to your stay, and that the location worked perfectly for you, with easy walks into town, great hiking routes right from the door, and access to the traffic?free cycle path. It’s fantastic to hear you describe your stay as perfect, and we very much look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
