Tucked away on the outskirts of Keswick, St John’s House is a stunning Grade II listed townhouse offering the very best of the Cumbrian countryside. Beautifully renovated, whilst maintaining its traditional Georgian charm, this picture-perfect property offers an idyllic backdrop for an action-packed escape to the countryside.

Spend the afternoon baking treats in the pretty cream kitchen and discover all the necessary appliances, as well as a wonderful dining area with a beautiful yet rustic table.

Spend warm summer evening’s dining alfresco in the courtyard or climb the staircase to the first floor and be greeted by a second homely sitting room boasting an impressive flat-screen TV benefitting from FreeSat and a handy DVD player, perfect for a quiet night indoors keeping warm from the heat of the woodburning stove.
