Description

This beautiful Georgian home is situated in the market centre of Keswick in a prime area.

Fran's Nest is a perfect location for families and friends wishing to be close to the action of Keswick while being easily accessible to Bassenthwaite, Ullswater, and Ambleside further afield. It has a variety of services within a short walk.

Enjoy watching your favourite TV series in the sitting area after a day of sightseeing. It has two comfortable sofas and an electric fireplace, so it's perfect for cosy nights in.

Let the house chef wow you in the modern kitchen, which has a variety of integrated appliances, including an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and even a dishwasher, so there's no need to lift a finger when it comes to cleaning up!

You won't need to bring your entire wardrobe because there is a utility room with a washer and dryer for your convenience.

In the dining area, prepare a delectable dinner and serve a bottle of sparkling wine as you toast to a long-awaited getaway with your loved ones.

As you prepare to sleep, head upstairs and drift off to sleep in one of the three bedrooms. The first floor has a twin bedroom as well as a delightful double bedroom and bathroom. If you keep going up to the second story, you'll find a feature king size galleried bedroom with spectacular commanding views of Keswick and the northwest fells, including Catbells and Robinson.

There is a tiny patio outside where you can unwind with your favourite beverage and consider your vacation so far.

Fran's Nest is close to all of Keswick's wonderful services and activities, including cafes, bars, quaint tearooms, and antique stores. Choose between the Pencil Museum, Keswick Museum, or The Puzzling Place on those days when it's pouring outside. For summer evenings, Hope Park and Theatre By The Lake are ideal venues.

If you want to climb mountains like Skiddaw and Blencathra for their breathtaking views, don't forget to carry your walking shoes! There are several hiking, sailing, and watersports opportunities along Derwentwater, and the gorgeous Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve is nearby. In contrast,

Ullswater is home to the Aira Force Waterfall and offers boat tours to lakeside settlements like Pooley Bridge and Glenridding.

Look no further than Fran's Nest for a lovely residence in the heart of Keswick.

Fran’s Nest was perfect in every way for our long weekend hiking in the Lakes.

Great location for the pubs and restaurants. Decorated and furnished to a high standard. Lovely welcome pack which was well needed after a long drive up ! Would definitely recommend and will definitely return to Fran’s Nest !!
