Tucked beneath the mighty presence of Blencathra, one of the Lake District’s most iconic fells, plan a getaway to this dream base for groups or families looking to immerse themselves in the great outdoors. This stone-built retreat is perched on the lower slopes, offering breathtaking views and a front-row seat to some of the best walking and cycling routes in the national park. When it’s time to explore further, the bustling town of Keswick is 6.5 miles away and packed with tempting cafes, lively pubs, and independent shops. After a day of lakeside wanders and mountain adventures, there’s nothing better than heading to the pub and restaurant, just under a mile from the cottage, to refuel with hearty food and maybe a locally brewed pint.
Step inside and instantly feel at home in the cosy lounge, where a comfortable corner sofa invites you to sit back in front of the Smart TV after a day of discovery. A few steps lead up to the well-equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for preparing everything from lazy breakfasts to hearty evening feasts. Head upstairs to the mezzanine level, where a dedicated workspace with a desk provides a quiet spot to catch up on emails or dive into a good book. The property’s layout makes it well-suited for families or groups, with a double bedroom and a shower room located on the ground floor for easy access. Upstairs, you'll find two further bedrooms tucked beneath charming wooden beams – a double and a room with bunk beds that's sure to be a hit with younger guests. A second shower room on this level ensures there's plenty of space for everyone to freshen up.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is a real highlight. Overlooking open countryside, it’s a lovely spot to soak up the views with your morning coffee or enjoy a relaxed evening meal at the outdoor dining table. With private parking for two cars and peaceful surroundings, this inviting home is a wonderful base for your rural getaway.
