Skiddaw Heights, Keswick, Cumbria and The Lake District, CA12

 

This delightfully detached townhouse is situated in an elevated position overlooking Keswick. New renovated in 2023 with stunning views of the Lake District, Skiddaw Heights is ideal for large families looking for a quiet retreat among the fells and fens of Cumbria. Entrance is on the lower ground floor with access to the garage, where stairs lead to the upper ground floor where there is a well-equipped kitchen where you can cook using fresh produce from the local town of Keswick, enjoying your meal in the formal dining area with views over the lake, before relaxing in front of the log effect cast iron fire in the lounge.

With one bedroom and a family shower room downstairs, the remaining three bedrooms (one with en-suite and Juliet balcony) are on the first floor, along with another family bathroom.

At the back of the house, you’ll find a private garden, with a patio leading into the dining area and a panoramic view over Keswick and Derwentwater.

With comfortable garden furniture provided, it’s a fine place to wind down after a long day walking around the Cumbrian hills. A short walk downhill takes you to the charming town of Keswick, nestled on the shores of Derwentwater, one of the Lake District’s most enchanting waters, where you can take a lake cruise or picnic on the shore.

Keswick town centre hosts a number of visitor attractions, including parks, museums, boutique shops, a cinema, pubs, and quaint cafes. Keswick is situated between two of the Lake Districts most popular lakes, Bassenthwaite and Derwentwater and surrounded by fells and hills that make it an ideal spot for a walking trip, where you can soak in the stunning natural beauty for which the area is renowned.

You can also take a short drive to the Norman market town of Cockermouth and visit the Wordsworth museum for a day of history and culture. Ideally positioned for a peaceful, relaxing holiday in one of the most beautiful natural spots in the country, Skiddaw Heights makes for an excellent retreat at any time of the year.
