This 3-bedroom cottage is a detached hilltop home just outside Keswick town centre in Cumbria's Lake District. Sleeping six across three bedrooms, it sits high enough to deliver panoramic views of Blencathra from the rear garden, the kind you don't get tired of. This is a proper Lake District base with real character.

The setting is hard to beat. Keswick is moments away and the fells are right on your doorstep. Castlerigg Stone Circle is just 1.5 miles away, one of Britain's earliest stone circles dating back to 3000 BC. Derwentwater is also 1.5 miles out with a full 10-mile circular walk around the lake.

Inside there are three first-floor bedrooms: a master double room with en-suite shower room, a double bedroom and a cosy twin. A family bathroom serves the other two rooms. The lounge has a wood-burning stove and a bay window overlooking Dog-Friendly 2-Bedroom Apartment in Keswick Fell. The dining room has three large windows framing Blencathra.

Catbells is 5.5 miles away. Derwentwater boat launches are close by. Keswick town has shops, pubs and restaurants within easy reach. Private driveway parking for four cars makes day trips straightforward.

This property suits families or groups of six wanting a genuine Lake District experience with outstanding fell views and a comfortable, well-equipped base to return to each evening.
