Description

A superb semi-detached bungalow with wonderful views on an attractive site within a pleasant residential area on the edge of Keswick, between Fitz Park and the lower slopes of Latrigg. ‘Blencathra’ is about a 10 minute easy stroll to Keswick’s Market Square. The property has been tastefully decorated to provide fresh and immaculately clean accommodation for up to four guests.

‘Blencathra’ has ample parking, full double glazing and gas central heating. All radiators can be individually thermostatically controlled. The bungalow is situated at the top of a small, quiet cul-de-sac. It has a westerly aspect and the fells from Coledale, across Whinlatter Forest to Barf and Skiddaw make a spectacular panorama to the front. At the rear of the property there is a spacious garden providing a peaceful, leafy green area in which to relax and enjoy views of Skiddaw and Latrigg. Red squirrels are charming, frequent visitors. Patio furniture is provided for the summer months so guests can make the most of the tranquillity.

To the left of the front door is the comfortable lounge with outstanding westerly views. Furnished with a quality leather suite, Smart TV, DVD and living flame gas fire it is warm and cosy at any time of the year.

The superb double glazed conservatory at the rear of the bungalow provides a quiet and peaceful additional space in which to relax.

The kitchen/diner has very well equipped quality wooden units, an electric oven with a gas hob, extractor fan, washer/dryer, CD/radio and a larder fridge. The freezer is located in the garage which is also a useful area for drying wet clothes - and sorting out walking boots!

There are two good sized bedrooms, one with double bed and the other with two single beds, both having quality mattresses and furniture plus beds dressed in luxury linen and towels. Please note that this property is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years old.

Nice propety in a quiet location
We stayed here last year and booked to come back, and we hope to return next year, too. The property is less than a leisurely 10 minute walk from the town centre, in a pleasant and very quiet cul-de-sac, and we prefer this to the town centre properties we've stayed in before, which have had a less open aspect.

Thank you for your fantastic review, we are so delighted that you enjoyed your stay. It's great to hear that you have returned to the property for a second time and we hope that you will visit for a third holiday soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Comfortable Home from home
Lovely bungalow in a very quiet part of the town with good views of the fells. It's about a 10 to 15 walk from the town centre through the very pleasant Fitz Park. If you want to walk Skiddaw or Latrigg the start of the path is only a couple of minutes straight from the door. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and situated on a small estate off the main roads so no passing traffic (or many people) so it's very peaceful. There's an enclosed garden at the back and a large conservatory. All in all an excellent holiday cottage that I can heartily recommend.

Thank you for your wonderful 5* review, we're glad that you enjoyed staying at Blencathra! It really is a lovely walk into town from the property, hopefully you had some good weather during your stay so that you could enjoy the trails nearby. We look forward to hosting you again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

A calm and quiet neighbourhood
Simple but beautifully maintained back garden. All parts of the bungalow are immaculately cleane. Large conservatory provides opportunity for good views all around. Sofas and easy chairs, both in the sitting room and conservatory, are comfortable but low slang and can be difficult to use by the elderly or people with some mobility problems.

Thank you so much for your review of Blencathra! We are delighted that you found the bungalow immaculately clean and comfortable. We hope you got to enjoy some time in the garden. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
