With its high ceilings, original features, and spacious interiors, this inviting home is ideal for families, friends, or couples looking to explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District.

Set over two floors, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to maximise both space and comfort. The welcoming living room is a highlight of the home, featuring a beautiful bay window that bathes the space in natural light, an open fire to create a cosy ambience, and elegant double doors that lead through to the dining room—an excellent space for shared meals and gatherings.

Continuing to the first floor, you’ll discover three well-proportioned bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to enhance relaxation. The super-king bedroom, which can be configured as a twin upon request, boasts breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside, making it a truly tranquil retreat. The twin bedroom overlooks the charming rear garden with a backdrop of Binsey, while the snug single bedroom enjoys picturesque views over the front of the cottage.

Step outside to discover a delightful rear garden—a peaceful haven featuring a neatly maintained lawn and a patio area, perfect for unwinding with a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine after a day of adventure. The enclosed rear yard offers a secure space for dogs, ensuring a pet-friendly experience. At the front of the property, off-road parking is available for two cars, providing added convenience for guests arriving by car.

Lakes, fells, and adventure on your doorstep – the perfect base for exploring the Lake District.

With Bassenthwaite Lake just a short walk away, this cottage is perfectly placed for those who love the outdoors. Walkers and cyclists will find plenty of routes nearby, from peaceful woodland trails in Setmurthy Woods to the rewarding climb of Sale Fell, offering breathtaking views from the top. A riverside stroll at Isel is another scenic option.

For dining and refreshments, a popular inn is just a short walk across the A66, while the Bassenthwaite Lake Station café and restaurant, featuring carriages from the film set of Murder on the Orient Express, is even closer.

A 15-minute drive takes you to the bustling market town of Keswick, where independent shops, outdoor gear stores, and inviting cafés await. Enjoy an evening of entertainment at the renowned Theatre by the Lake or catch a film at the historic Alhambra cinema. Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, is also within easy reach, offering a mix of history, culture, and local brewery tours. For a change of scenery, head west to the stunning Solway Coast for a day by the sea.
