Travel cot, highchair and stairgate. External garage with tumble dryer.. Semi-enclosed garden with terrace, sitting-out-area, garden furniture, firepit and BBQ. Bike store. Private parking for 1 car; additonal on-road parking. No smoking.. This beautiful property has been expertly converted from a 19th century barn, with easy access to local pubs, amazing walks and scenery and just 5 miles from Keswick.
1, The Barns is full of character and stunning features, from exposed stone walls and oak beams, to wooden and slate floors as well as a wood burner for those cosy nights in.
The ground floor is open plan and has a well-equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher and washing machine, fridge/freezer and large dining table. There’s also a walk-in pantry equipped with additional kitchen gadgets. The living room has plenty of easy seating, modern furnishings, and a wall-mounted flat screen TV. The focal point is the lovely wood burner. The downstairs is a very social space and it’s ideal for a family get together, a games night, a movie and few glasses of wine in the evening. In the entrance porch, you also have a boot room with heated drying cabinet for any wet walking gear and outside a garage for storing your bikes, golf clubs or kayaks. There is also a tumble dryer in the garage. The property has a semi-enclosed patio garden with seating, a barbecue and firepit, perfect for soaking up the sunshine and a bit of fresh air.
Set in the hamlet of Guardhouse, close to Threlkeld and Keswick, just off the A66, it has a picturesque River Glenderamackin running through it, with peaceful countryside walks from your door. The area is famous for spotting red squirrels, fed by the locals; these indigenous creatures are often seen scurrying through the branches and in and around the garden. Adjacent is Keswick Golf Club, so if you fancy a round while you’re away, you couldn’t be much closer. The quaint hamlet of Scales with a local pub is just ¾ mile, a 20 minute walk along a signposted footpath across fields or 1½ miles by road. The village of Threlkeld with two well-known gastro pubs offer great food and local cask ales are a 1¾ mile walk along a scenic footpath by the river.
You are just 5 miles from the vibrant Lake District town of Keswick, which is brimming with great restaurants, pubs serving local craft ales, an excellent range of shopping experiences and some memorable tourist attractions. If you fancy something a bit different, then why not visit The Derwent Pencil Museum, home to the world’s largest pencil. Also within easy reach is Puzzling Place, which is full of mind-boggling optical illusions. If you like culture, you could try the Theatre By The Lake, with its enviable position on the shores of Derwentwater, which offers award-winning performances in drama and arts. If you like walking or cycling, you are surrounded by some of the most challenging fells in the area, there are many easier walking routes for people who like sightseeing without the strain. Keswick is at the northern end of Derwentwater, one of the area’s iconic lakes, and offers a great base and starting point for your adventures. You can tick off a few of Wainwright’s 214 Lakeland Fells, including Skiddaw, Blencathra and Helvellyn within a few miles.
