The property

.

Set on the edge of the Skiddaw Fells in the Lake District National Park, just to the west of Keswick and near the village of Bassenthwaite, Low Melbecks House is a charming countryside retreat and the perfect base from which to explore the Lakes.

The property is cleverly arranged as two interconnecting halves, offering flexible accommodation for families or groups.

With the option to securely close the internal connecting door, it is ideal for two families or a group of up to eight guests, providing both shared space and privacy.

With four bedrooms and generous living areas, you’ll love returning to this warm and welcoming home after a day on the fells.

A private car park for up to four cars sits between the games room and garage, with a path and several (six) steps leading down to the property.

The Cottage A side entrance opens into a modern country-style kitchen, finished in soft creams and greys with stone-tiled flooring and well-equipped for self-catering.

A staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find one twin bedroom and one king-size bedroom, along with a family shower room featuring a shower cubicle, WC and hand basin.

From the kitchen, four steps lead down into a cosy sitting room, the perfect place to unwind as the wood-burning stove crackles in the background.

An interconnecting door links this lounge to the main house hallway and can be locked from either side to create two separate dwellings or opened to enjoy the full property as one spacious home.

The Main House The main house features reverse-level accommodation.

On the ground floor are two king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite.

Choose between a stylish bathroom with a freestanding bath and wet-room style shower, or a contemporary shower room with WC and hand basin.

From the hallway, a dog-leg staircase with two flights of 8 steps, leads up to a stunning open-plan living space.

The light-filled lounge benefits from a Juliet balcony with spectacular views across the surrounding fells.

Sink into the large corner sofa and enjoy a quiet evening with the TV, DVD player and Sonos speakers.

The adjoining kitchen and dining area is fully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing holiday, while the dining table comfortably seats eight—perfect for sociable meals and celebrations.

Outdoor Space & Games Room Outside, the split-level garden features a lawned area where a gentle stream meanders through the grounds.

Several seating areas offer idyllic spots for a summer drink or alfresco dining.

The external games room overlooks the stream through large glass panes and includes a pool table and TV, providing entertainment for all ages.

Location Low Melbecks House is perfectly positioned for exploring the northern Lake District.

Enjoy scenic walks straight from the doorstep or take on iconic peaks such as the Skiddaw range and Blencathra.

Nearby attractions include the ancient Castlerigg Stone Circle, tranquil Bassenthwaite Lake, the Lake District Wildlife Park, and, for adults, tours and tastings at The Lakes Distillery.

The Sun Inn, a welcoming village pub, is just a pleasant one-mile walk away, with many more attractions within easy reach.

A delightful and high-quality property, Low Melbecks House offers exceptional accommodation for those who love the beauty, peace and adventure of the Lake District.
