Description

As you enter the property via the porch at the front you are instantly greeted into the heart of the house. The hallway leads to different areas of the property and retains original features with the wooden block flooring.

Heading left off the hallway is the spacious and bright living room decorated with neutral colours and highlighting the original exposed beams. There are two two-seater sofas and a coffee table which surround the cosy log burner. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a good book, them the window seat provides just that with views over the garden and towards the village.

Straight ahead off the hallway is the large utility space and downstairs toilet. Fitted with plenty of storage, a sink and a washer/ dryer, it's the ideal place to store any outdoor kit. The stable doors lead to another porch off the rear of the property which will be fantastic for muddy boots after a rainy walk in the fells.

To the right of the hallway is a spacious entertainment/games room with views to the front and the rear of the property. Here you will find a pool table, and the original features shine through with the impressive fireplace and the tiled flooring.

Off the games room is the modern kitchen diner. The kitchen has been newly fitted with clean, white marble worktops and is equipped with everything you could need for your food preparation. The high-vaulted ceilings add to the feelings of space and the large windows to the rear of the room allow you to take in the beautiful garden and the fells beyond and the door allows access to the garden. The kitchen consists of a fridge/ freezer, oven and electric hob, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and even a pod coffee machine. The kitchen also has plenty of storage for your belongings and a breakfast bar. The dining area is an excellent space where six people can comfortably socialise and dine while recounting the days adventures, and planning the next!

The beautiful, enclosed garden wraps around the property and is a sun trap on a beautiful Lakeland day. It’s a peaceful place to sit and enjoy either your morning coffee or a drink in the evening whilst enjoying the blissful sound of the river and fell views beyond. The pretty patio area, with table and chairs, is the perfect place to gather for al fresco dining. To the front of the property is the driveway that comfortably fits two cars.

Moving upstairs, the master bedroom is the first door you come to on your left. The modern, neutral decor continues in this room, with the modern rattan furniture and the curved feature wall creating a bohemian feel. The are windows to the front and rear of the property providing stunning views. The room also benefits from a newly fitted en suite with white marble décor. There is a further two bedrooms, one double and one twin. Both bedrooms have a built-in closet to store your belongings. There is also a family bathroom with a shower over the bath, sink and WC.

It would be easy to park up and enjoy a jam-packed car-free holiday. Braithwaite amenities include three lovely pubs serving food and local ales, village shop and a tea room. There's nearby Whinlatter Forest along with a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities to choose from, a nearby bus stop with routes taking you all over the Lake District, and Keswick town centre only minutes away.

Visitors can enjoy the convenience of complimentary unlimited full fibre broadband.

3 night stay in summer holidays
This house was simply sublime. One of the nicest places weve stayed. Great location. We will definitely return. Great for a family with young children. We loved the pool table. Perfect for self catering.

Hi Tania, Thank you for your review. Mill House is in the lovely village of Braithwaite just a few miles outside of Keswick. You are spoiled for choice for places to eat with 2 pubs, a hotel and a café. There are plenty of walks right from the doorstep including Grisedale Pike and Barrow. The house itself has been lovingly refurbished to a high standard and the pool table is a fantastic addition for a family games night. We hope we can welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Mill House - historic charm and so restful in peaceful Braithwaite
We are so pleased that we managed to find the beautiful Mill House. As a family we had a fabulous time in this lovely house which was perfect in every way. The house was spotlessly clean in every room with comfortable beds, quality linen, tasteful soft furnishings and a very large kitchen area with ample space for dining. There was so much attention to making the experience home from home and beyond, including the starter packs and the excellent communications and advice from Keswick Cottages. The views were idyllic - from the kitchen window we could see Skiddaw and in the evening the sun shone through the large windows. We frequented the local pubs and the restaurant and had a warm welcome everywhere with great cuisine and well stocked bars. We will definitely be returning to Mill House and have great memories. Thank you.

Hi Paul, Thank you for your review. We are thrilled to hear you had a fabulous time at Mill House. It is the perfect family home for a holiday in the Lakes. There is so much to see and do right from the doorstep including the cafe and pubs as well as walks up Barrow, Whinlatter and Grisedale Pike. The home itself has plenty to offer with a large garden for sunny days and a games room so you can challenge the family to a game of pool. We hope we can welcome you back again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Wonderful
One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in. We felt at home at home as soon as we walked through the door. Great location for walking from the door step. We loved it so much we have booked again for March 2026.

Hi Catherine, Thank you for your lovely review of Mill House. It has been upgraded to a very high standard and is in a great location. There are lots of great walks from the doorstep and a several places to eat within a 5 minute walk. The garden is a great place to relax after a day of exploring or the games rooms for those rainy days. We can't wait to welcome you back again in March! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
