Description

Freshly renovated throughout, Greta House offers a modern and functional space for both families and couples. The property is accessed from Penrith Road, just opposite The Twa Dogs Inn, and is within walking distance of Keswick town centre.

The front door leads into the sophisticated open plan living and kitchen area, where you will find plenty of space to hang coats and store boots. There would be enough room here to keep a pram if needed. The living area is furnished with 2 plush leather sofas, a built-in bar which is kitted out with cocktail making equipment, wall-mounted 42-inch smart TV and log burning stove for those chilly nights by the fire.

Beyond the living area you will see the dining table, which seats 4 people comfortably. In this central section you can also find the integrated fridge and freezer, kettle and toaster. Food preparation is possible around the corner in the main kitchen area, which also houses the electric oven/grill, induction hob, dishwasher, sink with hose attachment, air-fryer and washer/dryer.

The kitchen is filled with light thanks to the bi-fold doors that open out onto the delightful patio area. You can enjoy al-fresco meals around the large outdoor dining table whilst soaking up the views and the sounds of the River Greta. From the patio you can walk through the lawned area to a beautiful deck complete with outdoor sofa and parasol, for those lazy days by the water.

Heading back up towards the house, you will find an outdoor kitchen area to your left, perfect for the Summer months.

Once inside, walk back through to the living room and up the stairs to the 1st floor hallway. Straight ahead, at the front of the property, you can find the master suite. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed, bedside tables and lights, and clothing rails. The ensuite comprises walk in shower, WC, heated towel rail and sink.

The second bedroom can be found at the rear of the property and benefits from beautiful views over the garden and River Greta, which are on full display thanks to the floor-ceiling casement window. The addition of a Juliette balcony means that you can open this up to enjoy the surroundings from the comfort of your bed! This room is furnished with a super-king bed, which can be made up into a twin upon request (£15 additional fee).

Finally, across the hall you can find the bathroom which comprises walk in waterfall shower, sink, WC and heated towel rail. Towels are provided.

There is a bus stop close by which will take you into the town centre and for guests travelling by car there is unrestricted on-street parking across the road.

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.

Greta house
Greta House was everything we hoped would be. We had the loveliest stay. Attention to detail in this property was amazing and having beautiful garden with river at bottom was a massive plus. Lovely seating area at bottom where had lovely snooze. Seating area through the bifolding doors was lovely my only wish is I wish had time to use the amazing gas barbecue never seen the likes of. Owners you can see have spent a lot time, thought and money on Greta house I loved hidden bar and hot drinks area. Thank you for lovely stay. Tony Mary Watson
