About this property

Great for groups with a love of the great outdoors, this home sits amid a network of trails so you can leave the car behind. Relax inside or bask in the fresh air and dine alfresco on the decking.

Savour your location in the quiet village of Applethwaite yet enjoy being only 2 miles from the bustling market town of Keswick. Here, eateries, watering holes and much more awaits. The perfect spot for a rainy day, Keswick has museums, a swimming pool and attractions such as Puzzling Place to keep you entertained. Hire boats to explore Derwentwater or hop on a cruise for a leisurely day. For a day of hiking, follow the Coledale Horseshoe which starts 3.5 miles away in Braithwaite and winds its way for 9.5 miles across the Wainwright Fells. Panoramic views will take your breath away and there are many wonderful picnic spots where you can sit and refuel. Unload the car and step inside via the rear of the property to make yourself at home. Leave outerwear in the porch and freshen up in the handily positioned shower room before heading inside to the rest of the home. Boasting spectacular views, the open plan lounge/diner has a wood burner so you can stay toasty whilst playing board games or snuggling up with a book. With a smart TV, stereo and CD player, enjoy nights in together with plenty to keep you entertained when night falls and the views of The Jaws of Borrowdale and Scafell Pike disappear. Before serving up at the dining table which seats six, head through to the kitchen to cook and find an electric hob and oven with grill, a dishwasher, washing machine, under counter fridge, under counter freezer and microwave. The first of three bedrooms resides on this floor and is a pretty double with splashes of colour. Completing this floor is a bathroom with shower over the bath with handrails, and a separate WC. Climb the stairs and tread the walkway which sits in the eaves of the cottage and looks down to the living space, before finding two twin bedrooms, both with skylights and black out blinds.
