Cottage in Cumbria Keswick, Cumbria

Property Description

Within 7 miles of the peaceful Ullswater, Troutbeck is a paradise for fell walkers and cyclists alike. Spend a day on the water by hiring a kayak or, for a more leisurely pace, hop aboard one of the Ullswater steamers for a gentle cruise. For hillwalkers, tackling Helvellyn, one of the highest mountains in the Lake District, is a must, and the tumbling waterfalls at Aira Force (4.5 miles) are just beautiful. Historians will love exploring the rooms at Dalemain, an impressive stately home 8.5 miles away, whilst the gothic ruins of Lowther Castle, 12 miles away, are well worth a visit. Rhegad, 5 miles away, has independent shops, cafés, an exhibition centre and a large 3D cinema which is great wet weather entertainment. For some retail therapy, head to Penrith, 10 miles away and find supermarkets, independent retailers, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Just off the A66 and offering great access to all areas of the Lake District, this compact and cosy cottage for two is elegant with fresh, clean decor throughout. Enter the charming living room where a wonderful large pointed window bathes the room in light. Perfect for relaxing after a busy day, settle on the sofa, glass of wine in hand and film on the small TV as your dog dozes in front of the wood burner. Beyond this is the kitchen and dining area. The simple and compact kitchen has an electric oven and hob, a microwave and a fridge/freezer. Enjoy romantic meals for two at the dining table before retiring to bed. The bright bedroom has twin beds which are close together, a built in wardrobe and a dresser. The shower room has a large curved walk in shower. Outside, there is a lovely patio area with a table and chairs for two, where you can dine alfresco and enjoy the magnificent views. There is a shared garden and plenty of lockable storage space at the property.
