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.

Reviews

Good view of hills both front and back.
Blencathra is a nice bungalow situated on a quiet estate to the north east edge of Keswick. Close enough to venture into town and with good views out of the back and front of the many surrounding hills. Only gripe was that there was nowhere to hang your coat after coming in from a damp walk, we ended up using the back of the kitchen chairs. Other than that an excellent and comfortable property.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Blencathra! We are so happy you found this to be in an ideal location for your party. Thank you for your comments about a coat hanger for your damp coats, we will pass this onto to the owner. We are so happy you found it comfortable and excellent with being in a quiet location but also close enough to stroll into town. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely Location
A very nice bungalow located to the rear of Fitz Park. Very peaceful, other than the ‘magpies’. Clean and comfortable and well maintained. Really loved the conservatory, in fact we only in the lounge on one evening. Had all of the facilities that we needed. Lovely peaceful lawn at the rear, plenty of rabbits to watch and even a tawny owl on the chimney next door. We’d return but bring our own pillows, as they weren’t very comfortable. Thank you to the owners for a well maintained property.

Thank you so much for your review of Blencathra! We are so happy you found this very peaceful, clean, comfortable and well maintained. The conservatory is a wonderful feature and perfect to lounge in and watch the wildlife. We hope you had a wonderful time staying here and we hope to welcome you back! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
