About this property

Situated in the village of Portinscale, close to the bustling hub of Keswick, is this beautifully presented, semi-detached cottage. Pooley Howe offers three bedrooms and makes an exceptional escape for a family seeking to access the many delights of the Lake District. Ease into the evening within the sitting room as you light up the woodburning stove and relax on the sofa with your loved ones, flicking through the Smart TV in search of a good movie, all amidst the contemporary décor with accents of teal and mustard yellow. Dust off those cooking books and take advantage of the contemporary kitchen, offering a host of integrated appliances and cooking utensils so you can cook up a storm surrounded by the light and bright interior. The dining room offers a pleasant space to enjoy meals gathered around the table as you tuck into a sumptuous dinner, with a toast to your long-awaited Lake District getaway. The stunning and spotless bathroom is where you can unwind in a bubble bath in the large tub, or choose to enjoy a refreshing shower within the walk-in enclosure, before wrapping yourself in a warm towel from the heated rail and heading to bed. There are three bedrooms at this Portinscale cottage, including two doubles, both with TVs, and a single room, finished with crisp white bed linen and oak furniture. After enjoying the interior, wander outside to the rear garden where you can enjoy a drink at the patio furniture and gaze up at the views of the mountains. The shores of Derwentwater are within walking distance, spanning 4.6km of natural beauty and calming waters, you can enjoy a summer's day meandering about the waterside, enjoying a trip on a wooden launch, taking out your own rowing boat or catching a show at the Theatre By The Lake. Brush up on local history at the Honister Slate Mines and the charming Keswick Museum, while those feeling active can pop on their walking boots and climb the summit of one of the surrounding fells, including Cat Bells, Coledale Horseshoe, Skiddaw and Blencathra. Be sure to visit the popular hubs of Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere, home to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, as well as Lake Windermere, and Ullswater to see the awe-inspiring Aira Force Waterfall. Pooley Howe offers a refreshing break for families, all year round in the Lake District.
