Greenside House

About this property

Greenside House, built circa 1840, is a beautifully restored three storey Grade II listed Georgian Townhouse found in the hustle and bustle of Keswick town centre, perfect for a family of four or a group of couples to spend an exciting trip getaway to this lovely corner of the Lake District. Make your way through the quaint cobbled courtyard and hang your coats before preparing a delicious home-cooked meal in the bespoke country-style kitchen, equipped with fantastic amenities among original slate flooring, oak beams and slate worktops. Formal dining can be enjoyed from the cosy dining room, a perfect spot to share a bottle of wine over a sociable meal next to the woodburning stove.

Settle in for a quiet evening in the first-floor sitting room, boasting even more characterful features including wide Georgian windows, as well as plush sofas, a TV and another welcoming woodburning stove. Prepare for a restful night ahead in the luxurious bathroom, soaking your body in heavenly bubbles in the claw-foot bath before retiring to either a double room with views out to the fells, or a second-floor master suite. The master suite offers a super-king-size bed which can be transformed into a twin if needed below intimate sloped ceilings, more striking views and a gorgeous en-suite shower room. Make use of the private courtyard and sip on a cold glass of bubble as you soak in the vibrant atmosphere.

This wonderful home is just a short stroll away from the town centre of Keswick, boasting a selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, a cinema, and an award-winning Theatre located by the lakeside, as well as fun attractions including crazy golf, Pencil Museum and the Puzzling Place exhibition.
