    “Lovely property, particularly downstairs, upstairs is more basic.”

    There was a problem with some of us getting in and out of the bath which sits high and shower doors limit access a bit. We could have done with an extra hand towel in the downstairs loo. There is an issue with the bin as along with previous guests we arrived to the bin being rammed full. We had to take some of our rubbish home.

    There was a problem with some of us getting in and out of the bath which sits high and shower doors limit access a bit. We could have done with an extra hand towel in the downstairs loo. There is an issue with the bin as along with previous guests we arrived to the bin being rammed full. We had to take some of our rubbish home. Many of these points would be easily resolved to make this a really perfect property as it is well equipped, has a great location and off street parking and a beautiful spacious open plan downstairs with a stunning patio with bi fold doors which would be perfect in the summer.

The property

Within a flat easy walking distance of the town centre and the market square, Greengarth is located in the popular Crosthwaite area of Keswick.

The current owners have fully refurbished and modernised the property to a very high standard.

The property has been extended to substantially increase the living space which is open plan and light and airy.

Spectacular bi-fold doors open directly onto the patio and garden and offer exceptional and impressive views to Skiddaw, one of the Lake District's highest and most impressive mountains. Offering a great selection of local shops, bars and cafes and the award winning, twice weekly market, all within ten minutes walk from Greengarth, the cottage is situated in a great location and offers a very high standard of accommodation with great social space making the cottage ideal for relaxing with friends and family. For those wanting to get out and about, there are numerous walks you can choose from, direct from the door.

Admire the beautiful views of Derwentwater and Borrowdale from Latrigg, explore the high fells and head for the summit of Skiddaw, enjoy a relaxing walk around the lake shore. Offering quality accommodation in a great location, Greengarth is an excellent choice for all seasons. Accommodation in detail Situated on a quiet, private cul-de-sac, the property is approached through the front gates and gravelled parking area to the front door which opens to the hallway.

The remainder of the ground floor is open plan with spectacular bi-fold doors that open from the dining area directly onto the large patio, a pretty cottage garden and offering beautiful views to Skiddaw that dominates the skyline and rises high above the town.

The lounge area, with welcoming log burning stove, is furnished with a comfortable leather sofa and armchairs and includes a large screen smart TV.

The quality kitchen is well appointed and well equipped with electric hob and oven, fridge, freezer and dishwasher and incorporates a breakfast bar.

The large family dining table is situated in front of the bi-fold doors making it the ideal spot to socialise with friends and family whatever the time of day.

Returning to the hallway there is a small utility area with washer drier and there is also a convenient downstairs WC. Heading upstairs there are three bright, modern and airy bedrooms to choose from.

The first offers a kingsize bed, views to Skiddaw and TV.

The second has a zip link super king size bed (this can be made up as a twin room on request); this room has a TV and views above the rooftops to Cat Bells, Robinson and the mountains of the Newlands Valley.

The third is a pretty single bedroom.

The bedrooms are complemented by a quality, contemporary bathroom which includes a bath which is set along a fabulous feature slate wall, with monsoon shower over, a basin, WC and LED sensor mirror. To the front of Greengarth there is private parking for two cars and to the rear there is a large patio area with table and chairs making it the ideal spot to relax with a glass of wine, morning coffee or dinner on a summers evening and beyond a pretty, lawned, cottage garden with herbaceous borders and mature shrubs. The owner welcomes up to two medium sized well behaved dogs at the cottage. == Location Keswick is one of the Lake District's most popular destinations.

This friendly town hosts the very popular twice weekly market that has recently won the coveted “Best Outdoor Market” in the Great British Market Awards.

The town also offers a fantastic array of shops offering everything from craft bakeries and local produce, antiques, crafts and much, much more. If you are looking for somewhere to eat and drink, a week just won't be long enough to sample the great range of pubs, restaurants, bistros, cafes and wine bars!

For a great evening out why not visit the 100 year old Alhambra offering first class cinema entertainment in traditional surroundings or enjoy an evening at “the most beautiful and friendly theatre in Britain”, the 400 seat Theatre By The Lake on the shores of Derwentwater. Enjoy a cruise on Derwentwater, walk onto the fells; Cat Bells, Skiddaw, Coledale Horeshoe and Blencathra are all nearby, head underground at Honister Slate Mines, enjoy mountain biking in Whinlatter Forest. For day trips throughout the Lake District, Ullswater is a short drive away offering lake cruises, great walking and the beautiful Aira Force Waterfall, Buttermere and Crummock Water offer sublime scenery.

Ashness Bridge and Surprise View situated above the Borrowdale Valley should not be missed and perhaps even a cup of tea and homemade cake in the unspoilt village of Watendlath.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
